5-1. Using the air conditioning system and defogger
■Fogging up of the windows
●The windows will easily fog up when the humidity in the vehicle is high. Turning “A/C” switch is on will dehu-
midify the air from the outlets and defog the windshield effectively.
●If you turn “A/C” switch is off, the win-dows 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.
●During cooling operation, setting the recirculated air mode will also cool the
vehicle interior effectively.
■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.
●It is recommended that the air condi-
tioning system be set to outside air mode prior to turning the vehicle off.

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.
■When the outside rear view mir-ror defoggers are operating (if equipped)
Do not touch the outside rear view mirror surfaces, as they can become very hot and burn you.
NOTICE
■To prevent battery discharge
Do not leave the air conditioning sys-
tem on longer than necessary when the engine is off.

●Wipe the surface with a dry, soft cloth to remove any remaining moisture.
●To remove oily deposits, use alcohol wet wipes or a similar product.
WARNING
■When washing the vehicle
Do not apply water to the inside of the engine compartment. Doing so may
cause the electrical components, etc. to catch fire.
■When cleaning the windshield (vehicles with rain-sensing wind-shield wipers)
Set the wiper switch to off. If the wiper switch is in “AUTO”, the wipers may operate unexpectedly in the following
situations, and may result in hands being caught or other serious injuries and cause damage to the wiper
blades.

located is touched by hand
●When a wet rag or similar is held
close to the raindrop sensor
●If something bumps against the
windshield
●If you directly touch the raindrop sensor body or if something bumps into the raindrop sensor
■Precautions regarding the exhaust pipe
Exhaust gasses cause the exhaust pipe to become quite hot.When washing the vehicle, be careful
not to touch the pipe until it has cooled sufficiently, as touching a hot exhaust pipe can cause burns.

(if equipped)
If the paint of the rear bumper is chipped or scratched, the system may
malfunction. If this occurs, consult with any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reli-
able repairer.

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.
