■Air intake selector
Outside or recirculated air positions can be selected. Press th e
switch to select outside/ r ecirculated air positions.
● Recirculated air po sition (indicator light illuminated)
Outside air is shut off. Use this position when going through t un-
nels, driving in congested traffic (high engine exhaust areas) or
when quick cooling is desired.
● Outside air position (indi cator light turned off)
Outside air is allowed to enter t he cabin. Use this mode for venti-
lation or windshield defrosting.
■Rear window defogger switch
Press the rear window defogger switch to defrost the rear windo w.
Refer to Rear Window Defogger on P. 207.
■ Mode selector dial
●With the airflow mode set to the position and the temperature control
dial set at a medium temperature, heated air is directed to the feet and air at
a comparably lower temperature will flow through the central, left and right
vents.
● When the fan control dial is ON, and the mode selector dial is in the
or position, the air conditioner is automatically turned on and the out-
side air position is automatically selected to defrost the windshield. In the
or position, the outside air position cannot be changed to th e
recirculated air position.
■ A/C switch
The air conditioner may not function when the outside temperatu re
approaches 0 °C (32 °F).
WARNING
■ Do not use the position in cold or rainy weather:
Using the position in cold or rainy weather is dangerous as it will
cause the windows to fog up. Your vision will be hampered, whic h could
lead to a serious accident.

Interior Features
Set the mode selector dial to the AUTO position.
Set the air intake selector to the outside air position (indicator light
turned off).
Set the fan control dial to the AUTO position.
Press the A/C switch to operate the air conditioner (turn indic ator
light on).
Set the temperature control dial to the desired position.
To turn off the system, set the fan control dial to the 0 position.
■Operation of Automatic Air conditioner
●If the recirculated air position is used for long periods in co ld weather or high
humidity, the windshield may fog up more easily.
● Setting the temperature to maximum hot or cold will not provide the desired
temperature at a faster rate.
● When selecting heat, the system will restrict airflow until it has warmed to
prevent cold air from blowing out of the vents.
Set the mode selector dial to t he position and turn the fan co n-
trol dial to the desired speed.
In this position, the outside air position is automatically sel ected, and
when the fan control dial is ON , the air conditioner automatica lly turns
on. The air conditioner will directly dehumidify the air to the front wind-
shield and side windows ( P. 258). Airflow amount will be increased.
Use the temperature control dial to increase the air flow temperature and
defog the windshield more quickly.

WARNING
■Set the temperature control to the hot or warm position when de fog-
ging ( position):
Using the position with the temperature control set to the col d posi-
tion is dangerous as it will cause the outside of the windshiel d to fog up.
Your vision will be hampered, which could lead to a serious accident.

If a tire wears evenly, a wear indicator will appear as a solid band
across the tread.
Replace the tire when this happens.New tread
Worn tread
Tread wear indicator
You should replace the tire bef ore the band crosses the entire tread.
With tire pressure monitoring system:
After adjusting the tire pressur e, initialization of the tire p ressure mon-
itoring system is necessary to m ake the system operate normally .
Refer to Tire Pressure Monitorin g System Initialization on P. 244.
Tires degrade over time, even wh en they are not being used on the road.
It is recommended that tires gen erally be replaced when they are 6 years
or older. Heat caused by hot climates or frequent high loading conditions
can accelerate the aging process. You should replace the spare tire when
you replace the other road tires due to the aging of the spare tire. The
period in which the tire was manufactured (both week and year) is indi-
cated by a 4-digit number.
Refer to Tire Labeling on P. 522.

WARNING
■Always use tires that are in good condition
Driving with worn tires is dangero us. Reduced braking, steering, and
traction could result in an accident.
■Replace all four tires at the same time
Replacing just one tire is dangerous. It could cause poor handl ing and
poor braking resulting in loss of vehicle control. Toyota strongly recom-
mends that you replace all four tires at the same time. If you replace
only two tires, the new tires should be installed on the rear o f the vehi-
cle.

Customer Information and Reporting Safety Defects
Unifor m Tire Quality Grading System
(UTQGS)
This information relates to the tire grading system developed b y the
U.S. National Highway Traffic Saf ety Administration for grading tires
by tread wear, traction, and temperature performance.
The tread wear grade is a comparative rating based on the wear rate
of the tire when tested under con trolled conditions on a specified gov-
ernment test course.
For example, a tire graded 150 would wear one-and-a-half times as
well on the government course as a tire graded 100.
The relative performance of tires depends upon the actual condi tions
of their use, however, and may depart significantly from the norm
because of variations in driving habits, service practices and differ-
ences in road characteristics and climate.
The traction grades, from highest to lowest, are AA, A, B, and C.
These grades represent the tire’s ability to stop on wet paveme nt as
measured under controlled conditio ns on specified government test
surfaces of asphalt and concrete. A tire marked C may have poor
traction performance.
Tread Wear
Traction-AA, A, B, C
WARNING
The traction grade assigned to this tire is based on braking (s traight
ahead) traction tests and does not include acceleration corneri ng (turn-
ing), hydroplaning, or peak traction characteristics.
