This air conditioning system has a high
efficient air refiner filter which helps
eliminate dust and pollen, thereby in-
creasing your driving comfort.
The air conditioning filter is set behind
the glove box.
The air conditioning filter may clog after
long use. The filter may need to be re-
placed if the air flow of the air conditioner
and heater experiences extreme reductions
in operating efficiency, or if the windows
begin to fog up easily.Perform filter replacement periodically.
Period of replacement (expected):
For U.S.A.—Every 30000 miles
For Canada—Every 16000 km
NOTE: This is the normal maintenance
period. This may change depending on
operating conditions.
If the symptoms of air conditioning
efficiency problems occur, contact your
Toyota dealer to have the filter checked
and replaced.
(Actual replacement time: Less than 10
minutes approximately)
NOTICE
Do not try to replace the air condi-
tioning filter by yourself. Doing so
may damage the vehicle.
INFORMATION
The air filter should be installed prop-
erly in position. The use of air condi-
tioning with the air filter removed
may cause deteriorated dustproof per-
formance and then affect air condi-
tioning performance.
