Automatic air conditioning system (vehicles with 8-inch display)

• A: Automatic mode switch
• B: The “OFF” switch
• C: Outside/recirculated air mode
• D: “A/C” switch
• E: “SYNC” switch
• F: Eco air conditioning mode switch

Adjusting the temperature setting
Operate the temperature control switch upwards to increase the temperature and downwards to decrease the temperature. If the “A/C” switch is not pressed, the system will blow ambient temperature air or heated air.

Setting the fan speed
Press the fan speed increase switch to increase the fan speed and the fan speed decrease switch to decrease the fan speed. Press the “OFF” switch to turn the fan off.

Change the airflow mode
Press the airflow mode control switch. The airflow mode changes as follows each time the switch is pressed.

1. Air flows to the upper body.
2. Air flows to the upper body and feet.
3. Air flows to the feet.
4. Air flows to the feet and the windshield defogger operates.

Switching between outside air and recirculated air modes

• Press the outside/recirculated air mode switch.
• The mode switches between outside air mode and recirculated air mode each time the switch is operated.
• When recirculated air mode is selected, the indicator illuminates the outside/recirculated air mode switch.

Set cooling and dehumidification function
Press the “A/C” switch. When the function is on, the indicator illuminates the “A/C” switch.

Eco air conditioning mode

• The air conditioning is controlled with low fuel consumption prioritized such as reducing fan speed, etc.
• Press the eco air conditioning mode switch.
• When the eco air conditioning mode is on, the indicator illuminates the eco air conditioning mode switch.

Defogging the windshield

• Defoggers are used to defog the windshield and front side windows.
• Press the windshield defogger switch.
• Set the outside/recirculated air mode switch to outside air mode if the recirculated air mode is used. (It may switch automatically.)
• To defog the windshield and the side windows quickly, turn the airflow and temperature up.
• To return to the previous mode, press the windshield defogger switch again when the windshield is defogged.
• When the windshield defogger switch is on, the indicator illuminates the windshield defogger switch.

Defogging the rear window and outside rearview mirrors

• Defoggers are used to defog the rear window and to remove raindrops, dew, and frost from the outside rearview mirrors.
• Press the rear window and outside rear view mirror defoggers switch.
• The defoggers will automatically turn off after 15 minutes.
• When the rear window and outside rearview mirror defoggers switch is on, the indicator illuminates on the rear window and outside rearview mirror defoggers switch.

When the outside temperature exceeds 75°F (24°C) and the air conditioning system is on

• In order to reduce the air conditioning power consumption, the air conditioning 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 power switch is turned ON.
• It is possible to switch to outside air mode at any time by pressing the outside/recirculated air mode switch.

Fogging up of the windows

• The windows will easily fog up when the humidity in the vehicle is high. Turning the cooling and dehumidification functions on will dehumidify the air from the outlets and defog the windshield effectively.
• If you turn the cooling and dehumidification functions off, the windows may fog up more easily.
• The windows may fog up if the recirculated air mode is used.

When driving on dusty roads
Close all windows. If dust thrown up by the vehicle is still drawn into the vehicle after closing the windows, it is recommended that the air intake mode be set to outside air mode and the fan speed to any setting except off.

Outside/recirculated air mode

• Setting to the recirculated air mode temporarily is recommended in preventing dirty air from entering the vehicle interior and helping to cool the vehicle when the outside air temperature is high.
• Outside/recirculated air mode may automatically switch depending on the temperature setting or the inside temperature.

When the outside temperature falls to nearly 32°F (0°C)
The dehumidification function may not operate even when the “A/C” switch is pressed.

Operation of the air conditioning system in Eco drive mode

• In Eco drive mode, the air conditioning system is controlled as follows to prioritize fuel efficiency:
  • Fuel cell system and compressor operation controlled to restrict heating/cooling capacity
  • Fan speed is restricted when automatic mode is selected
• To improve air conditioning performance, perform the following operations:
  • Adjust the fan speed
  • Turn off Eco drive mode.
  • Turn off Eco air conditioning mode
• When the driving mode is set to Eco drive mode, the Eco air conditioning mode will be turned on automatically. Even in this case, the Eco air conditioning mode can be turned off by pressing the Eco air conditioning mode switch.

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 and accumulate in the air conditioning system. This may then cause odor to be emitted from the vents.
• In order to suppress odors that occur when the air conditioning system starts, the airflow mode may change to blow air to the feet or air may stop blowing for a short period of time immediately after the air conditioning system is started in automatic mode.
• When parking, the system automatically switches to outside air mode to encourage better air circulation throughout the vehicle, helping to reduce odors that occur when starting the vehicle.

WARNING

• To prevent the windshield from fogging up
  Do not use the windshield defog-ger switch 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 wind-shield to fog up, blocking your vision.
• When the outside rear-view mirror defoggers are operating
  Do not touch the rearview mirror surfaces when the outside rearview mirror defoggers are on.
• To prevent 12-volt battery discharge
  Do not leave the air conditioning system on longer than necessary when the fuel cell system is off.
• When repairing/replacing parts of the air conditioning system
  Have repairs/replacements been performed by your Toyota dealer? When a part of the air conditioning system, such as the evaporator, is to be replaced, it must be replaced with a new one.

Using automatic mode

1. Press the “AUTO” switch.
2. Adjust the temperature setting.
3. To stop the operation, press the “OFF” switch.

If the fan speed setting or air flow modes are operated, the automatic mode indicator goes off. However, automatic mode for functions other than that operated is maintained.

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 the automatic mode switch is pressed.
