■ Ventilation and air conditioning odors
● To let fresh air in, set the air conditioning system to the outside air mode.
● 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.
■ An odor comes from the air conditioning system due to the Stop & Start
system operation (vehicles with a Stop & Start system)
When the engine is stopped due to the Stop & Start system, an odor caused
by moisture may be detected. This does not indicate a malfunction.

odor may be emitted from the power heater exhaust that is located under
the floor.
● When the power heater is used under extremely cold conditions, vapor may
be visible from its exhaust.

can shorten the life of the heater components. If the engine must be turned
on and off repeatedly within short intervals (such as when the vehicle is
being used for delivery purposes), turn the heater off.
● Do not modify or open the heater without consulting any authorized Toyota
dealer or repairer, or another dul y qualified and equipped professional, as
this may cause a heater malfunction or a fire.
● Be careful not to splash or spill liquid directly on the heater or on the
heater fuel pump, as this may cause the heater to malfunction.
● Keep the intake and exhaust pipes of the heater free from water, snow,
ice, mud, etc. If the pipes become clogged, this can cause the heater to
malfunction.
● If you notice anything unusual, such as a fluid leak, smoke and poor oper-
ation, turn off the heater and have your vehicle checked by any authorized
Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped profes-
sional.

pipe as they are hot. You may burn
yourself.
