the outer surface of the wind-
shield to fog up, blocking your
vision.

ing (if equipped)

surfaces when the outside rear
view mirror defoggers are on.

charge
Do not leave the air conditioning
system on longer than necessary
when the hybrid system is off.
■ When repairing/replacing
parts of the air conditioning
system
Have repair/replacement per-
formed by your Toyota dealer.

ing system, such as the evapora-
tor, is to be replaced, it must be
replaced with a new one.
