2. Bi±levelÐAir flows from both the floor
vents and the instrument panel vents.
When you set the temperature selector
setting at about the middle in automatic
operation, warm air flows out of the
floor vents and relatively low±tempera-
ture air flows out of the center and
side vents.
3. FloorÐAir flows mainly from the floor
vents.
It is recommended that you close the
lower vent. For details about this, see
ªInstrument panel ventsº on page 297
in this Section.
4. Floor/WindshieldÐAir flows mainly
from the floor vents and windshield
vents and fan speed may increase in
order to clean up the front view.

If you want to return the setting to
RECIRCULATE mode, press the air in-
take selector button once again.
It is recommended that you close the
lower vent. For details about this, see

in this Section.For details about air flow selector settings,
see ªÐAir flow selector settingsº de-
scribed below.
Windshield air flow button

selector mode changes to FRESH auto-
matically to clean up the front view quick-
ly. It is not possible to return to RECIR-
CULATE in this mode.

It is recommended that you close the low-
er vent. For details about this, see ªInstru-
ment panel ventsº on page 297 in this
Section.
For details about air flow selector settings,
see ªÐAir flow selector settingsº de-
scribed below.
For further information for removing frost
and fog, see ªInstrument panel ventsº on
page 297 in this Section.
Air intake selector button
Press the button to select the air source.
1. RECIRCULATEÐRecirculates the air in-
side the vehicle.
2. FRESHÐDraws outside air into the
system.
To prevent fogging up of the windshield,
the air intake mode may change automati-
cally to FRESH depending on the condi-
tion of the air conditioning system.
For example, when the ambient tempera-
ture is low, the air intake mode may
change automatically to FRESH. This is
not a malfunction.When the ignition switch is turned to the
ªONº position, the air intake mode is al-
ways set to FRESH even if the previous
mode was RECIRCULATE.
ªA/Cº button
To turn on the air conditioning, press the
ªA/Cº button. The ªA/Cº button indicator
will come on. To turn the air conditioning
off, press the button again.
If the ªA/Cº button indicator flashes, there
is a problem in the air conditioning system
and the air conditioning automatically
shuts off. If this happens, take your ve-
hicle to a Toyota dealer for service.

To cool off your Toyota after it has
been parked in the hot sun, drive with
the windows open for a few minutes.
This vents the hot air, allowing the air
conditioning to cool the interior more
quickly.

Make sure the air intake grilles in front
of the windshield are not blocked (by
leaves or snow, for example).

On humid days, do not blow cold air
on the windshield. The windshield could
fog up because of the difference in air
temperature on the inside and outside
of the windshield.

Keep the area under the front seats
clear to allow air to circulate through-
out the vehicle.

On cold days, set the fan speed to
high for a minute to help clear the
intake ducts of snow or moisture. This
can reduce the amount of fogging on
the windows.

When driving on dusty roads, close all
windows. If dust thrown up by the ve-
hicle is still drawn into the vehicle after
closing the windows, it is recommended
that the air intake selector be set to
FRESH and the fan speed selector to
any setting except ªOFFº.
