■Operation of the air conditioning system in Eco drive mode
Eco drive mode controls the heating/cooling operations and fan speed of the
air conditioning system to enhance fuel efficiency ( P. 360, 365). To improve
air conditioning performance, adjust the fan speed or turn off  Eco drive mode.
■ Sport mode automatic deactivation
Sport mode is automatically deactivated if the engine switch is turned off after
driving in sport mode.

not possible to turn to the outside air mode.
■ 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
windshield effectively.
● If you turn   off, the windows may fog up more easily.
● The windows may fog up if the recirculated air mode is used.

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  interi or.  During
cooling operation, setting the recirculated air mode will also  cool the vehicle
interior effectively.
● Outside/recirculated  air  mode  may  automatically  switch  dependin g  on  the
temperature setting or the inside temperature.
■ When the outside temperature exceeds 75°F (24°C) and the air co ndition-
ing system is on
● In order to reduce the air conditioning power consumption, the  air condition-
ing system may switch to recirculated air mode automatically. This may also
reduce fuel consumption.
● Vehicles without a smart key system: 
Recirculated air mode is selected as a default mode when the en gine switch
is turned to the “ON” position.
Vehicles with a smart key system: 
Recirculated  air  mode  is  selected  as  a  default  mode  when  the  en gine
switch is turned to IGNITION ON mode.
● It is possible to switch to outside air mode at any time by pre ssing  .
■ When the outside t emperature is low
The dehumidification function may not operate even when
  is pressed.
■ Ventilation and air conditioning odors
●To let fresh air in, set the air conditioning system to the out side air mode.
● During use, various odors from inside and outside the vehicle m ay enter into
and accumulate in the air conditioning system. This may then ca use odor to
be emitted from the vents.
● To reduce potential odors from occurring: 
It  is  recommended  that  the  air  conditioning  system  be  set  to  ou tside  air
mode prior to turning the vehicle off.

■Using automatic mode
Fan speed is adjusted automatically according to the temperatur e 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.
● If you turn   off, the windows may fog up more easily.
● The windows may fog up if the recirculated air mode is used.

Maintenance and care
WARNING
The  engine  compartment  contains  many  mechanisms  and  fluids  that may
move suddenly, become hot, or become electrically energized. To avoid death
or serious injury, observe the following precautions.
■When working on the engine compartment
● Keep  hands,  clothing  and  tools  away  from  the  moving  fan  and  eng ine
drive belt.
● Be  careful  not  to  touch  the  engine,  radiator,  exhaust  manifold,  etc.  right
after driving as they may be hot. Oil and other fluids may also  be hot.
● Do not leave anything that may burn easily, such as paper and r ags, in the
engine compartment.
● Do  not  smoke,  cause  sparks  or  expose  an  open  flame  to  fuel  or  t he  bat-
tery. Fuel and battery fumes are flammable.
● Be extremely cautious when working on the battery. It contains  poisonous
and corrosive sulfuric acid.
■ When working near the electric  cooling fan or radiator grille
Vehicles without a smart key system: 
Be sure the engine switch is off. With the engine switch in the  “ON” position,
the  electric  cooling  fan may  automatically  start to  run if  the  air conditioning
is on and/or the coolant temperature is high. ( P. 438)
Vehicles with a smart key system: 
Be  sure  the  engine  switch  is  off.  With  the  engine  switch  in  IGN ITION  ON
mode, the electric cooling fan may automatically start to run if the air condi-
tioning is on and/or the coolant temperature is high. ( P. 438)
■ Safety glasses
Wear  safety  glasses  to  prevent  flying  or  falling  material,  fluid  spray,  etc.
from getting in your eyes.
NOTICE
■If you remove the air cleaner filter
Driving with the air cleaner filter removed may cause excessive  engine wear
due to dirt in the air.

Maintenance and care
The coolant level is satisfactory if it is between the “F” and “L” lines on
the reservoir when the engine is cold.
Reservoir cap
“F” line
“L” line
If  the  level  is  on  or  below  the  “L”
line,  add  coolant  up  to  the  “F”  line.
(P. 534)
■ Coolant selection
Only  use  “Toyota Super  Long  Life Coolant”  or a  similar  high quality ethylene
glycol based non-silicate, non-amine, non-nitrite, and non-bora te coolant with
long-life hybrid organic acid technology.
U.S.A.: 
“Toyota Super Long Life Coolant” is a mixture of 50% coolant and 50% deion-
ized water. (Minimum temperature: -31 F [-35 C])
Canada: 
“Toyota Super Long Life Coolant” is a mixture of 55% coolant and 45% deion-
ized water. (Minimum temperature: -44 F [-42 C])
For more details about engine coolant, contact your Toyota deal er.
■ If the coolant level drops within a short time of replenishing
Visually  check  the  radiator,  hoses,  engine  coolant  reservoir  ca ps,  drain  cock
and water pump. 
If you cannot find a leak, have your Toyota dealer test the cap  and check for
leaks in the cooling system.

Check the radiator and condenser and clear away any foreign objects. 
If  either  of  the  above  parts  is  extremely  dirty  or  you  are  not  sure  of
their condition, have your vehic le inspected by your Toyota dea ler.
WARNING
■When the engine is hot
Do not remove the engine coolant reservoir cap or the radiator cap. 
The cooling system may be under pressure and may spray hot coolant if the
cap is removed, causing serious injuries, such as burns.
NOTICE
■When adding coolant
Coolant is neither plain water nor straight antifreeze. The cor rect mixture of
water  and  antifreeze  must  be  used  to  provide  proper  lubrication ,  corrosion
protection and cooling. Be sure to read the antifreeze or coolant label.
■ If you spill coolant
Be sure to wash it off with water to prevent it from damaging p arts or paint.
Radiator and condenser
WARNING
■When the engine is hot
Do not touch the radiator or condenser as they may be hot and c ause seri-
ous injuries, such as burns.
