—Operating tips

To cool off your Toyota after it has
D
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
D
of the windshield are not blocked (by
leaves or snow, for example).
On humid days, do not blow cold air
D
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
D
clear to allow air to circulate through-
out the vehicle.
On cold days, set the fan speed to
D
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
D
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 control button be set
to FRESH and the fan speed control
button to any setting except "OFF".
If following another vehicle on a dusty
D
road, or driving in windy and dusty
conditions, it is recommended that the
air intake control button be temporarily
set to RECIRCULATE, which will close
off the outside passage and prevent
outside air and dust from entering the
vehicle interior.
Heating
For best results, set controls to:
Fan speed—"AUTO"
Temperature— To the desired
temperature
Air intake—FRESH (outside air)
Air flow—"AUTO"
Lower vent—CLOSED

For quick heating, select recirculated
D
air for a few minutes. To keep the
windows from fogging, select fresh af-
ter the vehicle interior has been war-
med.
Press the "A/C" button on for dehumidi-
D
fied heating.
Choose floor/windshield air flow to heat
D
the vehicle interior while defrosting or
defogging the windshield.
