Failure to do so may result in a loss of vehicle control and cause death or
serious injury.
●
Use tires of the specified size.
●
Maintain the recommended level of air pressure.
●
Do not drive in excess of 75 mph (120 km/h), regardless of the type of
snow tires being used.
●
Use snow tires on all, not just some wheels.
■
Driving with tire chains
Observe the following precautions to reduce the risk of accidents.
Failure to do so may result in the vehicle being unable to be driven safely,
and may cause death or serious injury.
●
Do not drive in excess of the speed limit specified for the tire chains being
used, or 30 mph (50 km/h), whichever is lower.
●
Avoid driving on bumpy road surfaces or over potholes.
●
Avoid sudden acceleration, abrupt steering, sudden braking and shifting
operations that cause sudden engine braking.
●
Slow down sufficiently before entering a curve to ensure that vehicle con-
trol is maintained.
●
Vehicles with LDA (Lane Departure Alert with steering control) system:
Do not use LDA (Lane Departure Alert with steering control) system.

NOTICE
■
Repairing or replacing snow tires
Request repairs or replacement of snow tires from Toyota dealers or legiti-
mate tire retailers.
This is because the removal and attachment of snow tires affects the opera-
tion of the tire pressure warning valves and transmitters.
■
Fitting tire chains
The tire pressure warning valves and transmitters may not function correctly
when tire chains are fitted.

Operation of the air conditioning system in Eco drive mode
In Eco drive mode, the air conditioning system is controlled as follows to pri-
oritize fuel efficiency:
●
When the outside temperature exceeds 68°F (20°C), the air conditioning
system may switch to recirculated air mode automatically. This may also
reduce fuel consumption.
●
It is possible to switch to outside air mode at any time by pressing
.
■
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
is touched.
■
Fogging up of the windows
●
The windows will easily fog up when the humidity in the vehicle is high.
Turning
on will dehumidify the air from the outlets and defog the wind-
shield effectively.
●
If you turn
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 the out-
side/recirculated air mode to the recirculated air mode. This is effective in
preventing outside air from entering the vehicle interior. During cooling oper-
ation, setting the recirculated air mode will also cool the vehicle interior
effectively.
●
Outside/recirculated air mode may automatically switch depending on the
temperature setting, outside temperature, pressure, engine coolant tem-
perature or inside temperature.
■
When the outside temperature exceeds 75°F (24°C) and the air condition-
ing system is on (U.S.A. only)
●
In order to reduce the air conditioning power consumption, the air condition-
ing 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 IGNITION ON mode.
●
It is possible to switch to outside air mode at any time by pressing
.
■
When the outside temperature falls to nearly 32
°F (0°C)
The dehumidification function may not operate even when
is touched.

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:
• This vehicle is equipped with a deodorizing charcoal air filter. This filter
should be inspected and replaced according to the maintenance sched-
ule. (Air conditioning filter:
• 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.

Handling of the air conditioning panel
The operating section of the air conditioning panel uses touch switch sensors.
In the following cases, incorrect operation or non-response may occur.
●
If the surface of the touch switch is dirty or has liquid attached to it, incorrect
operation or non-response may occur.
●
If the surface of the touch switch receives electromagnetic waves, incorrect
operation or non-response may occur.
●
If wearing gloves during operation, non-response may occur.
●
If fingernails are used to operate the system, non-response may occur.
●
If a touch pen is used to operate the system, non-response may occur.
●
If the palm of your hand touches the surface of the touch switch during oper-
ation, incorrect operation may occur.
●
If the palm of your hand touches the surface of the touch switch, incorrect
operation may occur.
●
If operations are performed quickly, non-response may occur.

WARNING
■
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
windshield can cause the outer surface of the windshield to fog up, block-
ing your vision.
■
To prevent burns
Do not touch the rear view mirror surfaces when the outside rear view mirror
defoggers are on.
NOTICE
■
To prevent battery discharge
Do not leave the air conditioning system on longer than necessary when the
engine is stopped.
●
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.
