4-1. Climate Control System
Operating Tips
• Operate the climate control system with the engine running.
• To prevent the battery from being discharged, do not leave the fan
control dial on for a long period of time with the ignition switched
ON when the engine is not running.
• Clear all obstructions such as leaves, snow and ice from the hood and the air inlet in the cowl grille to improve the system efficiency.
• Use the climate control system to defog the windows and dehumid- ify the air.
• The recirculate mode should be used when driving through tunnels or while in a traffic jam, or when you would like to shut off outside
air for quick cooling of the interior.
• Use the outside air position for v entilation or windshield defrosting.
• If the vehicle has been parked in di rect sunlight during hot weather,
open the windows to let warm air escape, then run the climate con-
trol system.
• Run the air conditioner about 10 mi nutes at least once a month to
keep internal parts lubricated.
• Have the air conditioner checked before the weather gets hot. Lack of refrigerant may make the air conditioner less efficient.
The refrigerant specifications
are indicated on a label
attached to the inside of the
engine compartment. Check
the label before refilling the
refrigerant. If the wrong type of
refrigerant is used, it could
result in a serious malfunction
of the air conditioner.
For details, consult your Toyota
dealer.

WARNING
■ Always check that the hood is closed and securely locked
A hood that is not closed and securely locked is dangerous as it could fly
open while the vehicle is moving and block the driver’s vision which could
result in a serious accident.
NOTICE
When closing the hood, do not push it excessively such as by applying your
weight. Otherwise, the hood could be deformed.

6-5. Overheating
Overheating
If the high engine coolant temperature warning light turns on:Drive safely to the side of the road and park off the right-of-way.
Put a vehicle with an automatic tr ansaxle in park (P), a manual tran-
saxle in neutral.
Apply the parking brake.

Do not go near the front of the vehicle. Stop the engine.
Wait until the steam dissipates, then open the hood and start the
engine.
If neither coolant nor steam is escaping
Open the hood and idle the engine until it cools.
Make sure the cooling fan is operating, then turn off the engine after
the temperature has decreased.
When cool, check the coolant level.
If it is low, look for coolant leaks from the radiator and hoses.
■If you find a leak or other damage , or if coolant is still leaking:
Stop the engine and call your Toyota dealer.
