When the outside temperature exceeds 75°F (24°C) and the air conditioning system is on

• In order to reduce the air conditioning power consumption, the air conditioning system may switch to recirculated air mode automatically.

  This may also reduce fuel consumption.

• Recirculated air mode is selected as a default mode when the engine switch is turned to the “ON” position (vehicles without a smart key system) or IGNITION ON mode (vehicles with a smart key system).
• It is possible to switch to outside air mode at any time by pressing .

Fogging up of the windows

• The windows will easily fog up when the humidity in the vehicle is high.

  Pressing “A/C” button on will dehumidify the air from the outlets and defog the windshield effectively.

• If you turn “A/C” off, the windows may fog up more easily.
• The windows may fog up if the recirculated air mode is used.

Outside/recirculated air mode

• When driving on dusty roads such as tunnels or in heavy traffic, set
  to the recirculated air mode. This is effective in preventing outside air from entering the vehicle interior. During cooling operation, setting the recirculated 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.

Press the “A/C” button and turn off the air conditioning system before turning it on once more. There may be a problem in the air conditioning system if “A/C ON” continues to flash. Turn the air conditioning system off and have it inspected by your Toyota dealer.

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 conditioning 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 automatic mode.
