NOTICE
■Before driving
Fully release the parking brake.
Driving the vehicle with the parking brake set will lead to brake components
overheating, which may affect braking performance and increase brake
wear.

4466-1. Using the air conditioning system and defogger
HILUX_OM_OM0K789E_(EE)
■Using automatic mode
Fan speed is adjusted automatically according to the temperature setting and
the ambient conditions.
Therefore, the fan may stop for a while until warm or cool air is ready to flow
immediately after is pressed.
■ Fogging up of the windows
● 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 wind-
shield effectively.
● If you turn off, the windows may fog up more easily.
● The windows may fog up if the recirculated air mode is used.
■ When driving on dusty roads
Close all windows. If dust thrown up by the vehicle is still drawn into the vehi-
cle after closing the windows, it is recommended that the air intake mode be
set to outside air mode and the fan speed to any setting except off.
■ Outside/recirculated air mode
● Setting to the recirculated air mode temporarily is recommended in prevent-
ing dirty air from entering the vehicle interior and helping to cool the vehicle
when the outside air temperature is high.
● Outside/recirculated air mode may automatically switch depending on the
temperature setting or the inside temperature.
■ Operation of the air conditioning system in Eco drive mode (if equipped)
● In Eco drive mode, the air conditioning system is controlled as follows to pri-
oritize fuel efficiency:
• Engine speed and compressor operation controlled to restrict heating/
cooling capacity
• Fan speed restricted when automatic mode is selected
● To improve air conditioning performance, perform the following operations.
• Adjust the fan speed
• Turn off Eco drive mode
• Adjust the temperature setting
■ When the outside temperature falls to nearly 0°C (32°F)
The dehumidification function may not operate even when is pressed.

4506-1. Using the air conditioning system and defogger
HILUX_OM_OM0K789E_(EE)
Heated steering wheel/seat heaters
: If equipped
Heated steering wheel and seat heaters heat the side grips of the

• Babies, small children, the elderly, the sick and the physically chal-
lenged
• Persons with sensitive skin
• Persons who are fatigued
• Persons who have taken alcohol or drugs that induce sleep (sleeping
drugs, cold remedies, etc.)
● Observe the following precautions to prevent minor burns or overheating:
• Do not cover the seat with a blanket or cushion when using the seat
heater.
• Do not use seat heater more than necessary.
NOTICE
● Do not put heavy objects that have an uneven surface on the seat and do
not stick sharp objects (needles, nails, etc.) into the seat.
● To prevent battery discharge, do not use the functions when the engine is
not running.

Interior features
*: The shape of the auxiliary box may differ depending on the grade, etc.
●Air conditioning-linked temperature regulation function (type A) (if
equipped):
By introducing air from the air conditioning system into the auxiliary box,
canned drinks etc. can be kept hot or cold. However, as the temperature
inside the auxiliary box will become the same as the temperature of the air
flowing from the air conditioning sy stem, extreme heating and cooling are
not possible. In high humidity condition, be careful of objects inside the aux-
iliary box, as condensation may form.
● Using the air conditioning-linked temperature regulation function (type A) (if
equipped):
Allow the air conditioning system to operate, and use or to
select either or . ( P. 434, 442)
Adjust the temperature. ( P. 434, 441)
Type G (if equipped)
Open the air intake lid inside the aux-
iliary box.
To blow a large amount of air into the
auxiliary box, close the passenger
side vent. ( P. 437, 445)
