1785-1. Using the air conditioning system and defogger
■Fogging up of the windows
●Vehicles with the button: The windows will easily fog up when the
humidity in the vehicle is high. Turning on will dehumidify the air from
the outlets and defog the windshield effectively.
● Vehicles with the button: If you turn off, the windows may fog up
more easily.
● The windows may fog up if the recirculated air mode is used.
■ Outside/recirculated air mode
When driving on dusty roads such as tunnels or in heavy traffic, set the out-
side/recirculated air mode button to the recirculated air mode. This is effective
in preventing outside air from entering the vehicle interior. During cooling
operation, setting the recirculated air mode will also cool the vehicle interior
effectively.
■ 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 system if the indicator light goes off
again. Turn the air conditioning system off and have it inspected by your Toy-
ota dealer.
■ When the outside temperature falls to nearly 32 F (0 C) (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.

WARNING
■To prevent the windshield from fogging up
Do not set the air outlet selector dial to
during cool air operation in
extremely humid weather. The difference between the temperature of the
outside air and that of the windshield can cause the outer surface of the
windshield to fog up, blocking your vision.
■ When the outside rear view mirr or 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
■ To prevent battery discharge
Do not leave the air conditioning system on longer than necessary when the
engine is stopped.
