Power heater
Turns the power heater on/off
The power heater turns on about
25 seconds after the switch is
pressed, and takes about another
85 seconds to warm up.
■ Power heater can be operated when
The engine is running.
■ Normal characteristics of power heater operation
The following cases do not indicate a malfunction:
● When the power heater is turned on or off, some white smoke and a slight
odor may be emitted from the power heater exhaust that is located under
the floor.
● When the power heater is used under extremely cold conditions, vapor may
be visible from its exhaust.
● When the power heater is turned off, you may hear a sound in the engine
compartment for about 2 minutes until the power heater turns off completely.
■ After the heater is turned off
We recommend not restarting the heater for 10 minutes after you turn it off.
Otherwise, a noise may be heard as the heater ignites.
■ When refueling your vehicle
The engine must be turned off. Turning the engine off turns the power heater
off.

NOTICE
■To prevent damage to your vehicle
● Do not turn the heater on and off repeatedly in 5 minute intervals as this
can shorten the life of the heater components. If the engine must be turned
on and off repeatedly within short intervals (such as when the vehicle is
being used for delivery purposes), turn the heater off.
● Do not modify or open the heater without consulting any authorized Toyota
dealer or repairer, or another dul y qualified and equipped professional, as
this may cause a heater malfunction or a fire.
● Be careful not to splash or spill liquid directly on the heater or on the
heater fuel pump, as this may cause the heater to malfunction.
● Keep the intake and exhaust pipes of the heater free from water, snow,
ice, mud, etc. If the pipes become clogged, this can cause the heater to
malfunction.
● If you notice anything unusual, such as a fluid leak, smoke and poor oper-
ation, turn off the heater and have your vehicle checked by any authorized
Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped profes-
sional.
● Do not touch the heater or its exhaust
pipe as they are hot. You may burn
yourself.
● Keep flammable items such as fuel
away from the heater and its exhaust
pipe, as this may cause a fire.
