● The smell of the exhaust gas changes
● When starting the engine, white-colored steam (water vapor) may
be expelled during cleaning
● Acceleration performance may degrade during cleaning

■ When the indicator light on goes off by itself (vehicles with the
button)
Press to turn off the dehumidification function and turn it on again. There
may be a problem in the air conditioning sy stem if the indicator light goes off
again. Turn the air conditioning system off and have it inspected by any
authorized Toyota dealer or repair er, or another duly qualified and equipped
professional.
■ When the outside temperature falls to nearly 0C (32F) (vehicles with
the button)
The dehumidification function may not operate even when is pressed.
■ Ventilation and air conditioning odors
● To let fresh air in, set the air conditioning system to the outside air mode.
● During use, various odors from inside and outside the vehicle may enter into
and accumulate in the air conditioning system. This may then cause odor to
be emitted from the vents.
● To reduce potential odors from occurring:
It is recommended that the air conditioning system be set to outside air
mode prior to turning the vehicle off.
■ An odor comes from the air conditioning system due to the Stop & Start
system operation (vehicles with a Stop & Start system)
When the engine is stopped due to the Stop & Start system, an odor caused
by moisture may be detected. This does not indicate a malfunction.

WARNING
■To prevent the windshield from fogging up
Do not use during cool air operation in extremely humid weather. The
difference between the temperature of the outside air and that of the wind-
shield can cause the outer surface of the windshield to fog up, blocking your
vision.
■ When the outside rear view mirror defoggers (if equipped) are on
Do not touch the outside surface of the rear view mirrors, as they can
become very hot and burn you.
NOTICE

Do not leave the air conditioning syst em on longer than necessary when the
