Interior features
Turning “A/C” on will dehumidify the
air from the outlets and defog the windshield effectively.
●If you turn “A/C” off, the windows may fog up more easily.
●The windows may fog up if the recir-culated 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 recom-mended 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 recommended in pre-venting dirty air from entering the
vehicle interior and helping to cool the vehicle when the outside air tempera-ture is high.
●Outside/recirculated air mode may automatically switch depending on the
temperature setting or the inside tem- perature.
■Operation of the air conditioning system in Eco drive mode
●In Eco drive mode, the air conditioning system is controlled as follows to pri-
oritize fuel efficiency: • Engine speed and compressor opera-tion controlled to restrict heating/cool-
ing capacity • Fan speed restricted when automatic mode is selected
●To improve air conditioning perfor-mance, perform the following opera-
tions: • Adjust the fan speed• Turn off Eco drive mode ( P.299)
●Even when the drive mode is set to Eco drive mode, the air conditioning
eco mode can be turned off by press- ing the “FAST/ECO” switch. ( P.318)
■When the outside temperature falls to nearly 0°C (32°F)
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 condition-ing 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 occur-ring:• It is recommended that the air condi-
tioning system be set to outside 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 conditioning system is started in automatic mode.
●When parking, the system automati-cally switches to outside air mode to
encourage better air circulation throughout the vehicle, helping to reduce odors that occur when starting
the vehicle.

WARNING
■To prevent the windshield from fogging up
Do not use the windshield defogger switch during cool air operation in extremely humid weather. The differ-
ence between the temperature of the outside air and that of the windshield can cause the outer surface of the
windshield to fog up, blocking your vision.

6-1. Maintenance and care
NOTICE
• If liquids such as benzene and gas- oline are spilled on the paint sur-
face
●If the paint is chipped or scratched,
have it repaired immediately.
●To prevent the wheels from corrod-
ing, remove any dirt and store in a place with low humidity when stor-ing the wheels.
■Cleaning the exterior lights
●Wash carefully. Do not use organic
substances or scrub with a hard brush.This may damage the surfaces of
the lights.
●Do not apply wax to the surfaces of
the lights. Wax may cause damage to the lenses.
■To prevent damage to the wind-shield wiper arms
When lifting the wiper arms away from the windshield, pull the driver side wiper arm upward first, and
repeat for the passenger side. When returning the wipers to their original position, do so from the passenger
side first.
■When using an automatic car
wash (vehicles with rain-sensing windshield wipers)
Set the wiper switch to the off posi-
tion. If the wiper switch is in “AUTO”, the wipers may operate and the wiper blades may be damaged.
■When using a high pressure car wash
●Vehicles with rear view monitor sys-
tem: When washing the vehicle, do not spray the camera or its sur-rounding area directly with a high
pressure washer. Shock applied from high pressure water may cause the device to not operate
normally.
●Vehicles with Toyota Safety Sense:
Do not spray water directly on the radar which is equipped behind the emblem. Otherwise it may cause
the device to be damaged.
●Do not bring the nozzle tip close to
boots (rubber or resin manufac- tured cover), connectors or the fol-lowing parts. The parts may be
damaged if they come into contact with high-pressure water.
• Traction related parts
• Steering parts
• Suspension parts
• Brake parts
●Keep the cleaning nozzle at least
30 cm (11.9 in.) away from the vehi- cles body. Otherwise resin section, such as moldings and bumpers,
may be deformed and damaged. Also, do not continuously hold the nozzle in the same place.
●Do not spray the lower part of the windshield continuously. If water
enters the air conditioning system intake located near the lower part of the windshield, the air conditioning
system may not operate correctly.
●Do not wash the underside of the
vehicle using a high pressure car washer.

■If the fluid level is low or high
It is normal for the brake fluid level to go down slightly as the brake pads
wear or when the fluid level in the accumulator is high.If the reservoir needs frequent refill-
ing, it may indicate a serious problem.
