WARNING
■To prevent the windshield
from fogging up
Do not use the windshield defog-
ger switch during cool air opera-
tion in extremely humid weather.
The difference between the tem-
perature of the outside air and
that of the windshield can cause
the outer surface of the wind-
shield to fog up, blocking your
vision.
■When the outside rear view
mirror defoggers are operat-
ing
Do not touch the outside rear view
mirror surfaces, 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 off.
■When repairing/replacing
parts of the air conditioning
system
Have repair/replacement per-
formed by your Toyota dealer.
When a part of the air conditioning
system, such as the evaporator, is
to be replaced, it must be
replaced with a new one.

seats
■Operation of automatic airflow
control
●In order to maintain a comfortable
interior, airflow may be directed to
seats without passengers immedi-
ately after the e ngine is started
and at other times depending on
the outside temperature.
●After the engine is started, if pas-
sengers move around inside or
enter/exit the vehicle, the system
cannot accurately detect the pres-
ence of passengers and automatic
airflow control will not operate.
■Operation of manual airflow
control
Even if the function is manually
switched to directing airflow to only
the front seats, whe n a rear seat is
occupied, it may automatically direct
airflow to all seats.
■To return to automatic airflow
control

engine switch off.
