Heating and Ventilation
Advice
NOTIC E
Using the ventilation and air conditioning system► To ensure that air is distributed evenly, keep the external air intake grilles at the base of the windscreen, the nozzles, the vents, the air outlets and the air extractor in the boot free from obstructions.►  Do not cover the sunshine sensor located on the dashboard; this sensor is used to regulate the automatic air conditioning system.► Operate the air conditioning system for at least 5 to 10 minutes once or twice a month to keep it in perfect working order.► If the system does not produce cold air, switch it off and contact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.When towing the maximum load on a steep gradient in high temperatures, switching off the air conditioning increases the available engine power, enhancing the towing capacity.
WARNI NG
Avoid driving for too long with the ventilation off or with prolonged operation of interior air recirculation. Risk of misting and deterioration of the air quality!
If the interior temperature is very high after the vehicle has stood for a long time in the sunshine, air the passenger compartment for a few moments.Put the air flow control at a setting high enough to quickly change the air in the passenger compartment.
NOTIC E
Condensation created by the air conditioning results in a discharge of water underneath the vehicle. This is perfectly normal.
