! To  cool  off  your  Toyota  after  it  has
been  parked  in  the  hot  sun,  drive  with
the  windows  open  for  a  few  minutes.
This  vents  the  hot  air,  allowing  the  air
conditioning  to  cool  the  interior  more
quickly.
! Make  sure  the  air  intake  grilles  in  front
of  the  windshield  are  not  blocked  (by
leaves  or  snow,  for  example).
! On  humid  days,  do  not  blow  cold  air
on  the  windshield.  The  windshield  could
fog  up  because  of  the  difference  in  air
temperature  on  the  inside  and  outside
of  the  windshield.
! Keep  the  area  under  the  front  seats
clear  to  allow  air  to  circulate  through-
out  the  vehicle.
! On  cold  days,  set  the  fan  speed  to
high  for  a  minute  to  help  clear  the
intake  ducts  of  snow  or  moisture.  This
can  reduce  the  amount  of  fogging  on
the  windows.
! When  driving  on  dusty  roads,  close  all
windows.  If  dust  thrown  up  by  the  ve-
hicle  is  still  drawn  into  the  vehicle  after
closing  the  windows,  it  is  recommended
that  the  air  intake  selector  be  set  to
FRESH  and  the  fan  speed  selector  to
any  setting  except  “OFF”.
