■ Outside/recirculated air mode
● When driving on dusty roads such as tunnels or in heavy traffic, set the out-
side/recirculated air mode button to the recirculated air mode. This is effec-
tive in preventing outside air from entering the vehicle interior. During
cooling operation, setting the recirculat ed air mode will also cool the vehicle
interior effectively.
● Outside/recirculated air mode may automatically switch depending on the
temperature setting or the inside temperature.
■ When the outside temperature falls to nearly 0°C (32°F)
The dehumidification function may not operate even when is pressed.
■ When the indicator light on goes off by itself
Press to turn off the dehumidification function and turn it on again.
There may be a problem in the air condi tioning system if the indicator light
goes off again. Turn the air conditioning system off and have it inspected by
any authorized Toyota dealer or re pairer, or another duly qualified and
equipped professional.
■ 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 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 AUTO mode.
■ Air conditioning filter

WARNING
■ To prevent the windshield from fogging up
Do not use during cool air operation in extremely humid weather. The
difference between the temperature of the outside air and that of the wind-
shield can cause the outer surface of the windshield to fog up, blocking your
vision.
■ When the outside rear view mirror defoggers (if equipped) are on
Do not touch the outside surface of the rear view mirrors, as they can
become very hot and burn you.
NOTICE
■ To prevent 12-volt battery discharge
Do not leave the air conditioning syst em on longer than necessary when the
