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 perio d of time with the ignition switched
ON when the engine is not running.
• Clear all obstructions such as l eaves, snow and ice from the hood
and the air inlet in t he cowl grille to imp rove the system efficiency.
• Use the climate control system to defog the windows and dehumi d-
ify the air.
• The recirculate mode should be used when driving through tunne ls
or while in a traffic jam, or when you would like to shut off o utside
air for quick cooling of the interior.
• Use the outside air position for ventilation or windshield defrosting.
• If the vehicle has been parked in direct 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 minutes at least once a month to
keep internal parts lubricated.
• Have the air conditioner checke d before the weather gets hot. Lack
of refrigerant may make the ai r 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.

■Temperature control dial
When the mode is set to or with the fan control dial in a pos ition
other than 0 and the temperature control dial in the maximum cold position,
the air intake selector switches to the recirculated air position and the A/C
turns on automatically. If A/C is not desired, press the A/C sw itch to turn it off.
■ Mode selector dial
●The mode selector dial can be set at the intermediate positions ( )
between each mode. Set the dial to an intermediate position if you want to
split the airflow between the two modes.
● For example, when the mode selector dial is at the position be tween
the and positions, airflow from the floor vent is less than t hat of
the position.
■ A/C switch
The air conditioner may not function when the outside temperatu re
approaches 32 °F (0 °C).
WARNING
■ Do not use the recirculated air position in cold or rainy weath er
Using the recirculated air position in cold or rainy weather is dangerous as it
will cause the windows to fog up. Your vision will be hampered, which could
lead to a serious accident.

■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.

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.
