CAUTION
■Situations unsuitable for the LKA system
Using the LKA system in any of the following situations may result in
improper operation of the system and could lead to an accident, causing
death or serious injury. Turn the LKA system off while driving in any of the
following situations.
● When it is difficult to see lane markings because they are dirty or not clear
● When it is difficult to see lane markings due to rain, snow, fog or glare
● When the headlights are not bright enough due to dirt on the lenses or if
the headlight aim is not adjusted appropriately
● When a lane marking is not present, such as before tollbooths on a free-
way
● When sudden changes in the light level occur repetitively
● When there are misleading lines such as shadows, lines of snow, wheel
ruts with rain collected in them, or lines that remain after road repairs
● When driving in lanes other than the driving lane or passing lane on free-
way or motor highways
● When there is a lane closure due to road repairs or when driving in a
makeshift lane
● When the lanes are narrow or wide
● When the distance from the vehicle ahead of you is short
● When the vehicle leans to one side an unusual amount due to a heavy
load or improper tire inflation pressure
● When driving on winding roads or on uneven roads
● When driving on slippery roads, such as those covered with rain, ice or \
snow
● The tires have been exchanged (including snow tires), or the suspension
has been modified

278 3-1. Using the air conditioning system and defogger
PRIUS_U (OM47668U) U.S.A.
■Micro dust and pollen filter
● In order to prevent the windows from fogging up when the outside air is
cold, the following may occur.
• Outside air mode does not switch to recirculated air mode.
• The air conditioning system operates automatically.
• The operation cancels after 1 minute.
● In rainy weather, the windows may fog up. Press .
■ When Eco Driving mode is on
● If the outside temperature exceeds a preset temperature, the system will
switch to recirculated air mode.
● The effectiveness of the air conditioning will be lower than normal.
● The fan speed level drops below the normal rate.
■ Plasmacluster™
* (if equipped)
Plasmacluster will operate in conjunction with the air conditioning fan motor
when it is turned on.
This air conditioning system adopts plasmacluster technology, which helps
to keep good air quality in the cabin by emitting positive and negative ions
through the driver’s side vent. 
A slight noise may be heard during operation. This is not a malfunction. Also,
static electricity may be discharged near the driver’s side vent due to the
high voltage used to operate the system.
To clean the driver’s side vent, turn the system off and wipe the vent using a
soft cloth.
*: Plasmacluster technology is manufactured under license from the SHARP
Corporation. 
“Plasmacluster™” is a trademark of the SHARP Corporation.
■ Air conditioning odors
● 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.
