CHECKING AND REPLACING
CONDITIONING FILTER
The air conditioning filter may clog after
long use. The filter may need to be re-
placed if the air flow of the air conditioner
and heater experiences extreme reductions
in operating efficiency, or if the windows
become to fog up easily.
Perform filter replacement periodically.
Period of replacement (expected):
Every 24000 km (15000 miles) or 12
months
Notes: This is the normal maintenance
period. This may change depending on
operating conditions.
If the symptoms of air conditioning
efficiency problems occur, contact your
Toyota dealer to have the filter checked
and replaced.
(Actual replacement time: Less than 10
minutes approximately)
