Windshield wiper de-icer

Switches Windshield wiper de-icer switch Windshield wiper de-icer

This feature is used to prevent ice from building up on the windshield and wiper blades.

Press the windshield wiper de-icer switch.

When the windshield wiper de-icer switch is on, the indicator illuminates on the windshield wiper de-icer switch.

The windshield wiper de-icer will automatically turn off after a period of time.

Note:

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 ON.

It is possible to switch to outside air mode at any time by pressing the outside air mode switch.

Fogging up of the windows

The windows will easily fog up when the humidity in the vehicle is high. Turning “A/C” 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.

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.

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.

Outside/recirculated air mode may automatically switch depending on the temperature setting or the inside temperature.

Operation of the air conditioning system in Eco drive mode

In Eco drive mode, the air conditioning system is controlled as follows to prioritize fuel efficiency:

Engine speed and compressor operation controlled to restrict heating/cooling capacity

Fan speed restricted when automatic mode is selected

To improve air conditioning performance, perform the following operations:

Adjust the fan speed

Turn off Eco drive mode (Driving mode select switch)

When the outside temperature is low

The dehumidification function may not operate even when the “A/C” switch is pressed.

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.

When parking, the system automatically switches to outside air mode to encourage better air circulation throughout the vehicle, helping to reduce odors that occur when starting the vehicle.

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 Stop & Start system operations, the automatic air conditioning cooling, heating and dehumidification functions turn off and the fan speed is decreased according to the outside temperature etc. or air blowing stops. To stop the air conditioning system from turning off, press the Stop & Start cancel switch and refrain from using the Stop & Start system.

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.

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.

Air conditioning filter

Air conditioning system refrigerant

A label regarding the refrigerant of the air conditioning system is attached to the location shown in the following illustration.

The meaning of each symbol on the label are as follows:


	Caution
	Air conditioning system
	Air conditioning system lubricant type
	Requires registered technician to service air conditioning system
	Flammable refrigerant

Customization

Some functions can be customized. (Customizable features)

Warning:

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.

When the outside rear view mirror defoggers are operating

Do not touch the rear view mirror surfaces when the outside rear view mirror defoggers are on.

When the windshield wiper de-icer is operating

Do not touch the glass at lower part of the windshield or to the side of the front pillars when the windshield wiper de-icer is on.

Notice:

To prevent battery discharge

Do not leave the air conditioning system on longer than necessary when the engine is off.

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.

Press the automatic mode switch.

The dehumidification function begins to operate. Air outlets and fan speed are automatically adjusted according to the temperature setting and humidity.

Adjust the temperature setting.

To stop the operation, press the “OFF” switch.

If the fan speed setting or air flow modes are operated, the automatic mode indicator goes off. However, automatic mode for functions other than that operated is maintained.

Note:

Using automatic mode

Fan speed is adjusted automatically according to the temperature setting and the ambient conditions.

Therefore, the fan may stop for a while until warm or cool air is ready to flow immediately after the automatic mode switch is pressed.

Air conditioning system Front seat concentrated airflow mode (S-FLOW)

A/C Front seat concentrated airflow mode (S-FLOW) Front seat concentrated airflow mode (S-FLOW)

This function automatically controls the air conditioning airflow so that priority is given to the front seats. Unnecessary air conditioning is suppressed, contributing to increased fuel efficiency.

Front seat concentrated airflow mode operates in the following situations.

No passengers are detected in the rear seats

The windshield defogger is not operating

While operating, the indicator illuminates on the S-FLOW mode switch.

Manually turning front seat concentrated airflow mode on/off

In front seat concentrated airflow mode, directing airflow to the front seats only and to all seats can be switched via switch operation. When the mode has been switched manually, automatic airflow control stops operating.

Select on the main control screen or press the S-FLOW mode switch on the air conditioning operation panel and switch the airflow.

Indicator illuminated: Airflow to the front seats only

Indicator off: Airflow to all the seats

Note:

Operation of automatic airflow control

In order to maintain a comfortable interior, airflow may be directed to seats without passengers immediately after the engine is started and at other times depending on the outside temperature.

After the engine is started, if passengers move around inside or enter/exit the vehicle, the system cannot accurately detect the presence of passengers and automatic airflow control will not operate.

Operation of manual airflow control

Even if the function is manually switched to directing airflow to only the front seats, when a rear seat is occupied, it may automatically direct airflow to all seats.

To return to automatic airflow control

With the indicator off, turn the engine switch off.

After 60 minutes or more elapse, turn the engine switch to ON.

Air outlet layout and operations

Location of air outlets

The air outlets and air volume change according to the selected air flow mode.

Adjusting the air flow direction and opening/closing the air outlets

Front center outlets

Open the vent

Close the vent

Warning:

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.
