■Microphone
It is unnecessary to speak
directly into the microphone
when giving a command.
●Voice commands may not be rec-
ognized if:
• Spoken too quickly.
• Spoken at a low or high volume.
• The roof or windows are open.
• Passengers are talking while voice commands are spoken.
• The fan speed of the air condition-
ing system is set at high.
• The air conditioning vents are turned towards the microphone.
●In the following c onditions, the
system may not recognize the
command properly and using
voice commands may not be pos-
sible:
• The command is incorrect or unclear. Note that certain words,
accents or speech patterns may
be difficult for the system to recog-
nize.
• There is excessive background
noise, such as wind noise.
●Normally, it is n ecessary to wait
for a beep before saying a com-
mand. To enable the ability to talk
over prompts and say commands
before the beep, enable the voice
prompt interrupt function.
( P.420)
●This system may not operate

■Defogging the windshield
Defoggers are used to defog the
windshield and front side win-
dows.
Press the windshield defogger
switch.
Set the outside/recirculated air
mode switch to outside air mode if
t h e r e c i r c u l a t e d a i r m o d e i s u s e d . ( I t

To defog the windshield and the
side windows quickly, turn the air
flow and temperature up.
To return to the previous mode,
press the windshield defogger
switch again when the windshield is
defogged.
When the windshield defogger
switch is on, the indicator illumi-
nates on the windshield defogger
switch.
■Defogging the rear window
and outside rear view mir-
rors (if equipped)
Defoggers are used to defog the
rear window and to remove rain-
drops, dew and frost from the
outside rear view mirrors (if
equipped).
Press the rear window defogger
and outside rear view mirror defoggers switch.
The defoggers will automatically
turn off after
15 minutes.
When the rear window defogger
and outside rear view mirror defog-
gers switch is on, the indicator illu-
minates on the rear window
defogger and outside rear view mir-
ror defoggers switch.
■Fogging up of the windows
●The windows will easily fog up
when the humidity in the vehicle is
high. Turning “A/C” switch on will
dehumidify the air from the outlets
and defog the windshield effec-
tively.
●If you turn “A/C” switch off, the
windows may fog up more easily.
●The windows may fog up if the
recirculated air mode is used.
■When driving on dusty roads
Close all windows. If dust thrown up
by the vehicle is still drawn into the
vehicle after closing the windows, it
is recommended that the air intake
mode be set to outside air mode
and the fan speed to any setting
except off.
■Outside/recirculated air mode
●Setting to the recirculated air
mode temporarily is recom-
mended in preventing dirty air
from entering the vehicle interior
and helping to c ool the vehicle
when the outside air temperature
is high.
●Outside/recirculated air mode may
automatically switch depending on
the temperature setting or the
inside temperature.
■When the outside temperature
exceeds 75°F (24°C) and the air
conditioning system is on
●In order to reduce the air condi-
tioning power consumption, the air
conditioning system may switch to
Page 517 of 752
5176-1. Using the air conditioning system and defogger
6
Interior features
recirculated air mode automati-
cally. This may also reduce fuel
consumption.
●Recirculated air mode is selected
as a default mode when the power
switch is turned to ON.
●It is possible to switch to outside
air mode at any time by pressing
the outside/recirculated air mode
switch.
■Operation of the air condition-
ing system in Eco drive mode
●In Eco drive mode, the air condi-
tioning system is controlled as fol-
lows to prioritize fuel efficiency:
• Engine speed and compressor
operation controlled to restrict
heating/cooling capacity
• Fan speed restr icted when auto-
matic mode is selected
●To improve air conditioning perfor-
mance, perform the following
operations:
• Adjust the fan speed
• Turn off Eco drive mode ( P.358)
• Turn off Eco air conditioning mode
●When the driving mode is set to
Eco driving mode, the Eco air con-
ditioning mode will be turned on
automatically. Even in this case,
the Eco air conditioning mode can
be turned off by pressing the Eco
air conditioning mode switch.
■When the outside temperature
falls to nearly 32°F (0°C)
The dehumidification function may
not operate even when “A/C” switch
is pressed.
■Ventilation and air conditioning
odors
●To let fresh air in, set the air condi-
tioning system to the outside air
mode.
●During use, various odors from
inside and outside the vehicle may
enter into and a ccumulate 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 out-
side 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 con-
ditioning system is started in auto-
matic mode.
●When parking, the system auto-
matically switches to outside air
mode to encourage better air cir-
culation throughout the vehicle,
helping to reduce odors that occur
when starting the vehicle.

■Customization
Some functions can be customized.
(Customizable features: P.697)
1 Press the “AUTO” switch.
The dehumidification function
begins to operate. Air outlets and
fan speed are automatically
adjusted according to the tempera-
ture setting and humidity.
2 Adjust the temperature set-
ting.
3 To stop the operation, press
the “OFF” switch.
If the fan speed setting or air
flow modes are operated, the
automatic mode indicator goes
off. However, automatic mode
for functions other than that
operated is maintained.
■Using automatic mode
Fan speed is adjusted automati-
cally 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 the auto-
matic mode switch is pressed.
This function automatically con-
trols the air conditioning airflow
so that priority is given to the
front seats. When the front pas-
senger seat is not occupied, air-
flow may switch to only the
driver’s seat. Unnecessary air
conditioning is suppressed, con-
tributing to increased fuel effi-
ciency.

nician to service air con-

WARNING
■To prevent the windshield
from fogging up
Do not use the windshield defog-
ger switch during cool air opera-
tion in extremely humid weather.
The difference between the tem-
perature of the outside air and
that of the windshield can cause
the outer surface of the wind-
shield to fog up, blocking your
vision.
■When the outside rear view
mirror defoggers are operat-
ing (if equipped)
Do not touch the rear view mirror
surfaces when the outside rear
view mirror defoggers are on.
NOTICE
■To prevent 12-volt battery dis-
charge
Do not leave the air conditioning
system on longer than necessary
when the hybrid system is off.
■When repairing/replacing
parts of the air conditioning
system
Have repair/replacement per-
formed by your Toyota dealer.
When a part of th e air condition-
ing system, such as the evapora-
tor, is to be replaced, it must be
replaced with a new one.

■Operation of automatic airflow
control
●In order to maintain a comfortable
interior, airflow may be directed to
seats without pa ssengers immedi-
ately after the hybrid system is
started and at other times depend-
ing on the outside temperature.
●After the hybrid system is started,
if passengers move around inside or enter/exit the vehicle, the sys-
tem cannot accura
tely detect the
presence of passengers and auto-
matic airflow co ntrol will not oper-
ate.
■Operation of manual airflow
control
Even if the funct ion is manually
switched to directing airflow to only
the front seats, w hen a rear seat is
occupied, it may automatically direct
airflow to all seats.
■To return to automatic airflow
control
1 With the indicator off, turn the
power switch to OFF.
2 After 60 minutes or more elapse,
turn the power switch to ON.
This feature is used to prevent
ice from building up on the wind-
shield and wiper blades.
