1Press the “AUTO” switch.
2 Adjust the temperature set-
ting.
3 To stop the operation, press
the “OFF” switch.
If the fan speed setting or air
flow modes are operated, the
automatic mode indicator goes
off. However, automatic mode
for functions other than that
operated is maintained.
■Using automatic mode
Fan speed is adjusted automati-
cally 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 the auto-
matic mode switch is pressed.
Cool air may blow around the upper
body even when the heater is on
due to sunlight.
■Windshield fog detection func-
tion
When automatic mode is set, the
humidity sensor detects fog on the
windshield and controls the air con-
ditioning system to prevent fog.
WARNING
■Cautions for using “My Room
Mode”
Do not leave children, people who
need assistance, or pets inside
the vehicle. The system may turn
off automatically and the interior
temperature may become high or
low, resulting in heat stroke, dehy-
dration or hypothermia. Failure to
do so may result in death or seri-
ous injury.
■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 (if equipped)
Do not touch the rear view mirror
surfaces when the outside rear
view mirror defoggers are on.
NOTICE
■To prevent 12-volt battery dis-
charge
Do not leave the air conditioning
system on longer than necessary
when the hybrid system 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 condition-
ing system, such as the evapora-
tor, is to be replaced, it must be
replaced with a new one.

NOTICE
■Humidity sensor
In order to detect fog on the wind-
shield, a sensor which monitors
the temperature of the windshield,
the surround humidity, etc. is
installed.
Follow these points to avoid dam-
aging the sensor:
●Do not disassemble the sensor
