Air conditioning controls
*: If equipped
â– Adjusting the temperature setting
To adjust the temperature setting, turn the temperature control switch clockwise (warm) or counterclockwise (cool).
If "A/C" switch is not pressed, the system will blow ambient temperature air or heated air.
â– Fan speed setting
To adjust the fan speed, turn the fan speed control switch clockwise (increase) or counterclockwise (decrease).
Pressing the on/off switch turns off the fan.
When the fan is off, pressing the on/off switch or turning the fan speed control switch will turn on the fan.
â– Change the airflow mode
Press the airflow mode control switch.
The airflow mode changes as follows each time the switch is pressed.
â– Switching between outside air and recirculated air modes
Press the outside/recirculated air mode switch.
The mode switches between outside air mode and recirculated air mode each time the switch is operated.
When recirculated air mode is selected, the indicator illuminates on the outside/ recirculated air mode switch.
â– Set cooling and dehumidification function
Press the "A/C" switch.
When the function is on, the indicator illuminates on the "A/C" switch.
â– Defogging the windshield
Defoggers are used to defog the windshield and front side windows.
Press the windshield defogger switch.
Set the outside/recirculated air mode switch to outside air mode if the recirculated air mode is used.
To defog the windshield and the side windows quickly, turn the air flow and temperature up.
To return to the previous mode, press the windshield defogger switch again when the windshield is defogged.
When the windshield defogger switch is on, the indicator illuminates on the windshield defogger switch.
â– Defogging the rear window and outside rear view mirrors (if equipped)
Defoggers are used to defog the rear window, and to remove raindrops, dew and frost from the outside rear view mirrors (if equipped).
Press the rear window and outside rear view mirror defoggers switch.
When the rear window and outside rear view mirror defoggers switch is on, the indicator illuminates on the rear window and outside rear view mirror defoggers switch.
The rear window and rear view mirror defoggers automatically turn off after approximately 60 minutes.
However, the rear window and rear view mirror defoggers might automatically turn off after approximately 15 minutes depending on conditions including the outside temperature and charging system conditions.
â– For quick cooling
Press the "MAX A/C" switch.
The air conditioning will automatically turn on.
At this time, the following will occur:
â– Operation of the air conditioning system in Eco drive mode
In Eco drive mode, the air conditioning system is controlled to prioritize fuel efficiency by regulating the engine speed and compressor operation to restrict the heating/cooling capacity.
To improve air conditioning performance, perform the following operations:
â– Fogging up of the windows
â– When driving on dusty roads
Close all windows. If dust thrown up by the vehicle is still drawn into the vehicle after closing the windows, it is recommended that the air intake mode be set to outside air mode and the fan speed to any setting except off.
â– Outside/recirculated air mode
Setting to the recirculated air mode temporarily is recommended in preventing dirty air from entering the vehicle interior and helping to cool the vehicle when the outside air temperature is high.
■When the outside temperature falls to nearly 32ºF (0ºC)
The dehumidification function may not operate even when the "A/C" switch is pressed.
â– Ventilation and air conditioning odors
â– Air conditioning system operations when the engine is stopped due to the Stop & Start system (vehicles with Stop & Start system)
When the engine is stopped due to the Stop & Start system operations, the air conditioning cooling, heating and dehumidification functions turn off and only ambient temperature air is blown, and there is a possibility that the blowing of ambient temperature air will stop. To prevent the air conditioning system from turning off, press the Stop & Start cancel switch to deactivate the system.
â– When the windshield is fogged up and the engine is stopped due to the Stop & Start system (vehicles with Stop & Start system)
Press the windshield defogger switch to restart the engine and defog the windshield.
If the windshield continuously fogs up, press the Stop & Start cancel switch and refrain from using the Stop & Start system.
â– When an odor comes from the air conditioning system while the engine is stopped due to the Stop & Start system (vehicles with Stop & Start system)
Press the Stop & Start cancel switch to restart the engine.

WARNING
â– To prevent the windshield from fogging up
Do not use the windshield defogger switch during cool air operation in extremely humid weather.
The difference between the temperature of the outside air and that of the windshield can cause the outer surface of the windshield to fog up, blocking your vision.
â– When the outside rear view mirror defoggers are operating (if equipped)
Do not touch the rear view mirror surfaces when the outside rear view mirror defoggers are on.
NOTICE
â– To prevent battery discharge
Do not leave the air conditioning system on longer than necessary when the engine is off.
â– When repairing/replacing parts of the air conditioning system
Have repair/replacement performed by your Toyota dealer.
When a part of the air conditioning system, such as the evaporator, is to be replaced, it must be replaced with a new one.
Air outlet layout and operations
â– Location of air outlets
The air outlets and air volume change according to the selected airflow mode.
â– Adjusting the air flow direction and opening/closing the air outlets
Front
Rear
WARNING
â– To not interrupt the windshield defogger from operating
Do not place anything on the instrument panel which may cover the air outlets. Otherwise, air flow may be obstructed, preventing the windshield defoggers from defogging.
