Operation of the air conditioning system in Eco drive mode
In Eco drive mode, the air conditioning system is controlled as follows to pri-
oritize fuel efficiency:
Heating/cooling capacity is restricted.
Outside/recirculated air mode automatically switch depending on the tem-
perature setting or the inside temperature.
Fan speed restricted when automatic mode is selected.
To improve air conditioning performance, perform the following operations:
Adjust the fan speed or the setting temperature.
Turn off Eco drive mode.
Customization
The air conditioning control of Eco drive mode can be changed to the same
setting as that used in normal drive mode.
(Customizable features P. 439)
Using automatic mode
Fan speed is adjusted automatically 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 is pressed.
Fogging up of the windows
The windows will easily fog up when the humidity in the vehicle is high.
Turning on will dehumidify the air from the outlets and defog the wind-
shield effectively.

Interior features
Outside/recirculated air mode
When driving on dusty roads such as tunnels or in heavy traffic, set the out-
side/recirculated air mode button to the recirculated air mode. This is effec-
tive in preventing outside air from entering the vehicle interior. During
cooling operation, setting the recirculated air mode will also cool the vehicle
interior effectively.
Outside/recirculated air mode may automatically switch depending on the
temperature setting or the inside temperature.
When the outside temperature falls to nearly 0C (32F)
The dehumidification function may not operate even when is pressed.
When the indicator light on goes off by itself
Press to turn off the dehumidification function and turn it on again.
There may be a problem in the air conditioning system if the indicator light
goes off again. Turn the air conditioning system off and have it inspected by
any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and
equipped professional.
Ventilation and air conditioning odors
To let fresh air in, set the air conditioning system to the outside air mode.
During use, various odors from inside and outside the vehicle may enter into
and accumulate 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 outside 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 conditioning system is started in AUTO mode.

WARNING
To prevent the windshield from fogging up
Do not use
during cool air operation in extremely humid weather. The
difference between the temperature of the outside air and that of the wind-
shield can cause the outer surface of the windshield to fog up, blocking your
vision.
When the outside rear view mirror defoggers (if equipped) are on
Do not touch the outside surface of the rear view mirrors, as they can
become very hot and burn you.
NOTICE
To prevent 12-volt battery discharge
Do not leave the air conditioning system on longer than necessary when the
hybrid system is stopped.

• Persons who are fatigued
• Persons who have taken alcohol or drugs that induce sleep (sleeping
drugs, cold remedies, etc.)

Using the seat heater with a blanket or cushion increases the temperature
of the seat and may lead to overheating.
Do not use the seat heater more than necessary. Doing so may cause
minor burns or overheating.

not stick sharp objects (needles, nails, etc.) into the seat.
