Driving tips 275 CAUTION ■Off-road driving precautions Always observe the following precautions to minimize the risk of death, seri- ous injury or damage to your vehicle: ●Drive carefully when off the road. Do not take unnecessary risks by driving in dangerous places. ●Do not grip the steering wheel spokes when driving off-road. A bad bump could jerk the wheel and injure your hands. Keep both hands and espe- cially your thumbs on the outside of the rim. ●Always check your brakes for effectiveness immediately after driving in sand, mud, water or snow. ●After driving through tall grass, mud, rock, sand, rivers, etc., check that there is no grass, bush, paper, rags, stone, sand, etc. adhering or trapped on the underbody. Clear off any such matter from the underbody. If the vehicle is used with these materials trapped or adhering to the underbody, a breakdown or fire could occur. ●In a rollover crash, an unbelted person is significantly more likely to die than a person wearing a seat belt. Therefore, the driver and all passengers should fasten their seat belts whenever the vehicle is moving. ●When driving off-road or in rugged terrain, do not drive at excessive speeds, jump, make sharp turns, strike objects, etc. This may cause loss of control or vehicle rollover causing death or serious injury. You are also risking expensive damage to your vehicle’s suspension and chassis. 4RUNNER (U)_(OM35B18U) 276 4-6. Driving tips NOTICE ■To prevent water damage Take all necessary safety measures to ensure that water damage to the engine or other components does not occur. ●Water entering the engine air intake will cause severe engine damage. ●Water entering the automatic transmission will cause deterioration in shift quality, locking up of your transmission accompanied by vibration, and ulti- mately damage. ●Water can wash the grease from wheel bearings, causing rusting and pre- mature failure, and may also enter the differentials, transmission and transfer case, reducing the gear oil’s lubricating qualities. ■When you drive through water If driving through water, such as when crossing shallow streams, first check the depth of the water and the bottom of the riverbed for firmness. Drive slowly and avoid deep water. ■Inspection after off-road driving ●Sand and mud that has accumulated in brake drums and around brake discs may affect braking efficiency and may damage brake system compo- nents. ●Always perform a maintenance inspection after each day of off-road driv- ing that has taken you through rough terrain, sand, mud, or water. For scheduled maintenance information, refer to the “Scheduled Maintenance Guide” or “Owner’s Manual Supplement”. 4RUNNER (U)_(OM35B18U) Interior features 277 5-1.

Using the air conditioning system and defogger ■ Defogging the windshield Defoggers are used to defog the windshield and front side win- dows. Set the air outlet selector dial to position. If the recirculated air mode is used, it will automatically switch to outside air mode. To defog the windshield and the side windows early, increase the air flow and temperature. If the dehumidification function is not operating, press operate the dehumidification function. to ■ Defogging the rear window and outside rear view mirrors Defoggers are used to defog the rear window, and to remove rain- drops, dew and frost from the outside rear view mirrors. Before operating the defoggers, make sure the back window is completely closed. (P. 148) Press The defoggers will automatically turn off after their operation time. The operation time varies depending on the ambient temperature and vehi- cle speed. ■ Windshield wiper de-icer (if equipped) This feature is used to prevent ice from building up on the wind- shield and wiper blades. Turns the windshield wiper de- icer on/off The windshield wiper de-icer will automatically turn off after approximately 15 minutes. 4RUNNER (U)_(OM35B18U) 5-1.

This is effective in preventing outside air from entering the vehicle interior. During cooling opera- tion, setting the recirculated air mode will also cool the vehicle interior effec- tively. ■When the outside temperature exceeds 75°F (24°C) and the air condition- ing system is on ●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 the “ON” position (vehicles without a smart key system) or the engine switch is turned to IGNITION ON mode (vehicles with a smart key system). ●It is possible to switch to outside air mode at any time by pressing ■When the indicator light on flashes to turn off the cooling and dehumidification function and turn it on Press again. There may be a problem in the air conditioning system if the indicator light continues to flash. Turn the air conditioning system off and have it inspected by your Toyota dealer. 4RUNNER (U)_(OM35B18U) 5-1. Using the air conditioning system and defogger 283 ■When the outside temperature falls to nearly 32F (0C) The dehumidification function may not operate even when 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. 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 windshield can cause the outer surface of the windshield to fog up, block- ing your vision. ●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. ■To prevent burns ●Do not touch the rear view mirror surfaces when the outside rear view mir- ror defoggers are on. ●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 stopped. 4RUNNER (U)_(OM35B18U) 5-1.
