Driving
reports before leaving and avoid
delays as much as possible.
When driving in a traffic jam,
gently release the brake pedal
to allow the vehicle to move for-
ward slightly while avoiding
overuse of the accelerator
pedal. Doing so can help control
excessive gasoline consump-
tion.
Control and maintain the vehicle
at a constant speed. Before
stopping at a toll booth or simi-
lar, allow plenty of time to
release the accelerator and gen-
tly apply the brakes. A greater
amount of electrical energy can
be regenerated when slowing
down.
Use the air conditioning only
when necessary. Doing so can
help reduce excessive gasoline
consumption.
In summer: When the ambient
temperature is high, use the
recirculated air mode. Doing so
will help to reduce the burden on
the air conditioning system and
reduce fuel consumption as
well.
In winter: Because the gasoline
engine will not automatically cut
out until it and the interior of the
vehicle are warm, it will con-sume fuel. Also, fuel consump-
tion can be improved by
avoiding overuse of the heater.
Make sure to check the tire infla-
tion pressure frequently.
Improper tire inflation pressure
can cause poor fuel economy.
Also, as snow tires can cause
large amounts of friction, their
use on dry roads can lead to
poor fuel economy. Use tires
that are appropriate for the sea-
son.
Carrying heavy luggage will lead
to poor fuel economy. Avoid car-
rying unnecessary luggage.
Installing a large roof rack will
also cause poor fuel economy.
Since the gasoline engine starts
up and cuts out automatically
when cold, warming up the
engine is unnecessary. More-
over, frequently driving short
distances will cause the engine
to repeatedly warm up, which
can lead to excess fuel con-
sumption.

switch.
■Defogging the rear window
and outside rear view mir-
rors (if equipped), and de-
icing windshield wipers (if
equipped)
Defoggers are used to defog the
rear window and to remove rain-
drops, dew and frost from the
outside rear view mirrors (if
equipped).
The windshield wiper de-icer is
used to prevent ice from building
up on the windshield and wiper
blades.
Press the rear window defog-
ger/outside rear view mirror
defoggers /windshield wiper de-
icer switch.
The defoggers and windshield
wiper de-icer will automatically turn
off after 15 minutes.
When the rear window defog-
ger/outside rear v iew mirror defog-
gers /windshield wiper de-icer
switch is on, the indicator illumi-
nates on the switch.
■Eco air conditioning mode
The air conditioning is controlled
with low fuel consumption priori-
tized such as reducing fan
speed, etc.
Select the eco air conditioning
mode switch on the control
screen. ( P.352)
When the eco air conditioning
mode is on, the indicator illumi-
nates on the eco air conditioning mode switch.
■Fogging up of the windows
●The windows will
easily fog up
when the humidity in the vehicle is
high. Turning “A/C” switch on will
dehumidify the air from the outlets
and defog the windshield effec-
tively.
●If you turn “A/C” switch 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
vehicle 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 recom-
mended in preventing dirty air
from entering the vehicle interior
and helping to c ool 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.
■When the outside temperature
exceeds 75°F (24°C) and the air
conditioning system is on
●In order to reduce the air condi-
tioning power consumption, the air
conditioning system may switch to
recirculated air mode automati-
cally. This may also reduce fuel
consumption.
●Recirculated air mode is selected
as a default mode when the power
switch is turned to ON.
●It is possible to switch to outside
air mode at any time by pressing
the outside/recirculated air mode

switch.
■Operation of the air condition-
ing system in Eco drive mode
●In Eco drive mode, the air condi-
tioning system is controlled as fol-
lows to prioritize fuel efficiency:
• Engine speed and compressor operation controlled to restrict
heating/cooling capacity
• Fan speed restr icted when auto-
matic mode is selected
●To improve air conditioning perfor-
mance, perform the following
operations:
• Adjust the fan speed
• Turn off Eco drive mode ( P.334)
• Turn off Eco air conditioning mode
●When the driving mode is set to
Eco driving mode, the Eco air con-
ditioning mode will be turned on
automatically. Even in this case,
the Eco air conditioning mode can
be turned off by pressing the Eco
air conditioning mode switch.
■When the outside temperature
falls to nearly 32°F (0°C)
The dehumidification function may
not operate even when “A/C” switch
is pressed.
■Ventilation and air conditioning
odors
●To let fresh air in, set the air condi-
tioning system to the outside air
mode.
●During use, various odors from
inside and outside the vehicle may
enter into and a ccumulate in the
air conditioning system. This may
then cause odor to be emitted
from the vents.
●To reduce potential odors from
occurring:
• It is recommended that the air conditioning system be set to out-
side air mode prior to turning the
vehicle off.
• The start timing of the blower may
be delayed for a short period of
time immediately after the air con-
ditioning system is started in auto- matic mode.
●When parking, the system auto-
matically switches to outside air
mode to encourage better air cir-
culation throughout the vehicle,
helping to reduce odors that occur
when starting the vehicle.

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.
■To prevent burns
●Vehicles with outside rear view
mirror defoggers: Do not touch
the outside rear view mirror sur-
faces, as they can become very
hot and burn you.
●Vehicles with windshield wiper
deicer: Do not touch the glass at
lower part of the windshield or
to the side of the front pillars
when the windshield wiper de-
icer is 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 th e air condition-
ing system, such as the evapora-
tor, is to be replaced, it must be
replaced with a new one.
