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 condi tioning system be set to outside air
mode prior to turning the vehicle off.
• The start timing of the blower may be delayed for a short period of time immediately after the air conditioning system is started in automatic
mode.

defoggers are on.

■To prevent damage to your vehicle
●Do not turn the heater on and off repeatedly in 5 minute intervals as this

on and off repeatedly within short intervals (such as when the vehicle is

heater fuel pump. This may cause the heater to malfunction.
● Keep the intake and exhaust pipes of the heater free from water, snow,
ice, mud, etc. If the pipes become clogged, this can cause the heater to
malfunction.
● If you notice anything unusual, such as a fluid leak, smoke or poor opera-
tion, turn off the heater and have your vehicle checked by any authorized
Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped profes-
sional.
●Do not touch the heater or its exhaust
pipe as they are hot. You may burn
yourself.
● Keep flammable items such as fuel
away from the heater and its exhaust
