When the needle is in the blue zone, the
coolant temperature is cold. Heat may not
be available while the coolant temperature
is the blue zone.
Your vehicle may overheat during severe
operating conditions, such as:
Driving up a long hill on a hot day.
Reducing speed or stopping after high
speed driving.
Idling for a long period with the air
conditioning on in stop−and− go traffic.
NOTICE
Do not remove the thermostat in
the engine cooling system as this
may cause the engine to overheat.
The thermostat is designed to con-
trol the flow of coolant to keep the
temperature of the engine within
the specified operating range.
 Do not continue driving with an
overheated engine. See “If your ve-
hicle overheats” on page 317 in
Section 4.The fuel economy meter indicates the
current fuel consumption in analog
form when the engine is running. When
only the traction motor powers the ve-
hicle, the needle indicates “E MODE”.
The needle may indicate the best rate
on the meter when the engine is run-
ning but the fuel is not consumed.
The needle may indicate the best rate
on the meter when fuel consumption is
less than the indicated value.
The needle may indicate the worst rate
on the meter when fuel consumption is
more than the indicated value.

NOTICE
This equipment has been tested and
found to comply with the limits for a
class B digital device, pursuant to
Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These lim-
its are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interfer-
ence in a residential installation. This
equipment generates, uses and can
radiate radio frequency energy and, if
not installed and used in accordance
with the instructions, may cause
harmful interference to radio commu-
nications. However, there is no guar-
antee that interference will not occur
in a particular installation.
If this equipment does cause harmful
interference to radio or television re-
ception, which can be determined by
turning the equipment off and on, the
user is encouraged to try to correct
the interference by one or more of
the following measures:
—Reorient or relocate the receiving
antenna.
—Increase the separation between the
equipment and receiver.
—Connect the equipment into an out-
let on a circuit different from that to
which the receiver is connected.
—Consult the dealer or an experi-
enced radio/TV technician for help.CARING FOR YOUR COMPACT DISC
PLAYER AND DISCS
Your compact disc player is intended
for use with 12 cm (4.7 in.) discs only.
Extremely high temperatures can keep
your compact disc player from working.
On hot days, use the air conditioning
to cool the vehicle interior before you
listen to a disc.
Bumpy roads or other vibrations may
make your compact disc player skip.
If moisture gets into your compact disc
player, you may not hear any sound
even though your compact disc player
appears to be working. Remove the
disc from the player and wait until it
dries.
CAUTION
Compact disc players use an invisible
laser beam which could cause hazard-
ous radiation exposure if directed
outside the unit. Be sure to operate
the player correctly.

Air intake selector
Press the button to select the air source.1. RECIRCULATE (indicator light is on)—
Recirculates the air inside the vehicle.
2. FRESH (indicator light is off)—Draws
outside air into the system.
To prevent fogging up of the windshield,
the air intake mode may change automati-
cally to FRESH depending on the condi-
tion of the air conditioning system. “A/C” button
To turn on the air conditioning, press the
“A/C” button. The
“A/C” button indicator
will come on. To turn the air conditioning
off, press the button again.
If the “A/C” button indicator flashes, there
is a problem in the air conditioning system
and the air conditioning automatically
shuts off. If this happens, take your ve-
hicle to a Toyota dealer for service. Plasmacluster
TM∗
The PlasmaclusterTM∗ helps to keep
good air quality in the cabin by emiting
positive and negative ions into the cab-
in.
Operating the air conditioning system al-
lows positive and negative ions to come
out from the driver ’s side vent.
A low noise may be heard during opera-
tion. This is not a malfunction.
Static electricity may be discharged near
the driver ’s side vent because high volt-
age is used to operate the system.
To clean the driver’s side vent, wipe the
vent using a soft cloth after turning the
system off.
CAUTION
Do not disassemble or repair the sys-
tem because it contains high voltage
parts. Call your Toyota dealer if the
system needs repair.

NOTICE
Do not insert anything into the driv-
er’s side vent, attach anything to it,
or use sprays around the driver ’s side
vent. These things may cause the sys-
tem not to work properly.

“ECO HEAT/COOL” switch
Push the “ECO HEAT/COOL” switch to
select the “ECO HEAT/COOL” (economi-
cal) mode of the air conditioning. The indi-
cator on the switch comes on and “ECO”
appears on the air conditioning display to
indicate that the mode is on.
The efficiency of the air conditioning is
limited because the consumption of elec-
tricity is reduced, achieving a reduction of
fuel consumption. As a result, it may take
longer than the usual amount of time for
the inside air temperature to reach the set
temperature. The “ECO HEAT/COOL” mode is canceled
in the following cases:
The temperature control is set at “LO”
(the lowest temperature) or “HI” (the
highest temperature).
The air flow is set in the floor/wind-
shield mode or windshield mode.
“ECO HEAT/COOL” switch is pushed
again.
