is pressed.

When the indicator light on

flashes

Press

to turn off the cooling and dehumidification function and turn it

on again. There may be a problem in the air conditioning system if the indi-
cator light continues to flash. Turn the air conditioning system off and have it
inspected by your Toyota dealer.

Air conditioning odors

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.

CAUTION

To prevent the windshield from fogging up

Do not use

during cool air operation in extremely humid weather. The

difference between the temperature of the outside air and that of the wind-
shield can cause the outer surface of the windshield to fog up, blocking your
vision.

NOTICE

To prevent battery discharge

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