●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 button to the recirculated air mode. This is effective in preventing outside air from entering the vehicle interior. During cooling operation, setting the recirculated air mode will also cool the vehicle interior effectively.

■When the outside temperature exceeds 75F (24C) and air conditioning

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 in the “ON” position (vehicles without a smart key system) or 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 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.

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 wind- shield can cause the outer surface of the windshield to fog up, blocking 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 to defog.

■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.

heater on to avoid the possibility of burns: • Babies, small children, the elderly, the sick and the physically chal-

lenged

• Persons with sensitive skin • Persons who are fatigued • Persons who have taken alcohol or drugs that induce sleep (sleeping

drugs, cold remedies, etc.)

●Do not cover the seat with anything when using the seat heater.

Using the seat heater with a blanket or cushion increases the temperature of the seat and may lead to overheating.

●Do not use seat heater more than necessary. Doing so may cause minor

burns or overheating.

NOTICE

To avoid injury, always return the deck hooks to their stowed positions.

■Tie-down cleat precautions

●Properly install and tighten the tie-down cleats into the deck rail system.

Failure to properly install and tighten the tie-down cleats can cause cargo to become unsecured. Unsecured cargo can cause injury when the vehi- cle is in motion.

●Properly secure all cargo to prevent shifting or sliding during driving.

Failure to properly secure cargo can cause injury when the vehicle is in motion.

●Applying loads at an angle to the tie-down cleat greater than 45° or loads greater than 220 lb. (100 kg) may cause damage to the deck, deck rail system, tie-down cleat and/or the cargo.

●Do not exceed a total tensile load of 440 lb. (200 kg) per deck rail. ●Do not install more than the following number of tie-down cleats per deck

rail: • Side rail:

Short deck—Max. 3 locations Long deck—Max. 4 locations

■ Maximum available capacity of the power outlet

● While the vehicle is being driven

The maximum capacity of the power outlet is always 120 V AC/ 100 W.

● When the vehicle is stationary

The maximum capacity of the power outlet varies depending on the following conditions: • The maximum capacity is 120 V AC/100 W when the following

conditions applies: Vehicles with an automatic transmission The shift lever is moved to any positions other than P and N. Vehicles with a manual transmission The clutch pedal is depressed.

• The maximum capacity is 120 V AC/400 W when the following

conditions applies: Vehicles with an automatic transmission The shift lever is in P or N. Vehicles with a manual transmission The shift lever is in N and the clutch pedal is not depressed. The maximum capacity of 400 W can only be restored by turning the power outlet main switch off and then on again under condition described above.

■The power outlet can be used when

The engine is running.

■The indicator light changes according to the maximum available capac-

ity as follows:

120 V AC/400 W 120 V AC/100 W

■When the power outlet is in operation

The sound of the cooling fan may be heard from the front console box. This is normal and does not indicate a malfunction.

6-4. Other interior features

411

■If the engine is started with the power outlet main switch on

The maximum capacity of the power supply may decrease to below the stan- dard, or may be cut off completely, even when the vehicle is stationary.

■The protection circuit may be activated to cut the power supply if any of

the following conditions apply: ●The engine is started with the power outlet main switch on. ●Use of electrical appliances exceeding the maximum capacity is attempted. A sound may be heard when the protection circuit is activated. This is nor- mal and does not indicate a malfunction.

●Electrical appliances, which consume power exceeding 100 W, have been

used continuously for a long time period.

●The total power usage by all electrical features (headlights, air conditioning, etc.) has exceeded the total vehicle maximum for an extended period of time.

■If the protection circuit is activated and the power supply is cut, conduct

the following procedure:

Park the vehicle in a safe place, and then securely apply the parking brake. Check and ensure the following conditions:

 Vehicles with an automatic transmission

The shift lever is in P or N.

 Vehicles with a manual transmission

The shift lever is in N and the clutch pedal is not depressed. Make sure that the power consumption of the electric appliance is within the maximum capacity of the power outlet and the appliance is not bro- ken. Press the power outlet main switch again.

When the cabin temperature is high, open the windows to cool the tempera- ture down. Once it reaches the normal temperature, turn the power outlet main switch on again. If the power supply does not resume even after the above procedure has been performed, have the vehicle inspected by your Toyota dealer.
