5-10. Bluetooth®

WARNING

■ Caution while driving

Observe the following precautions to avoid an accident that could result in

death or serious injuries.

●Do not use a cellular phone.

●Do not connect Bluetooth® device or operate the controls.

■ Caution regarding interference with electronic devices

● Your audio unit is fitted with Bluetooth® antennas. People with implantable

cardiac pacemakers, cardiac resynchronization therapy-pacemakers or

implantable cardioverter defibrillators should maintain a reasonable dis-

tance between themselves and the Bluetooth® antennas. The radio waves

may affect the operation of such devices.

●Before using Bluetooth® devices, users of any electrical medical device

other than implantable cardiac pacemakers, cardiac resynchronization

therapy-pacemakers or implantable cardioverter defibrillators should con-

sult the manufacturer of the device for information about its operation

under the influence of radio waves. Radio waves could have unexpected

effects on the operation of such medical devices.

NOTICE

■ To prevent damage to Bluetooth® device

Do not leave Bluetooth® device in the vehicle. The temperature inside the

vehicle may become high, resulting in damage to the device.

6-1. Using the air conditioning system and defogger

■ 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

button is pressed.

■ 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

windshield 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, in tunnels, or in heavy traffic, set the outside/

recirculated air mode button 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 or the inside temperature.

■ 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:

• Engine speed and compressor operation controlled to restrict heating/

cooling capacity

• Fan speed restricted when automatic mode is selected

● To improve air conditioning performance, perform the following operations:

• Adjust the fan speed

• Adjust the temperature setting

• Turn off Eco drive mode

●Even when the drive mode is set to Eco drive mode, the air conditioning eco

mode can be turned off by pressing the

■ When the outside temperature falls to nearly 0C (32F)

The dehumidification function may not operate even when

is pressed.

■ Ventilation and air conditioning odors

● To let flesh 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.

• 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.

■ nanoe™ *1 (if equipped)

The air conditioning system adopts nanoe™ technology. This helps to fill the

cabin with refreshing air by emitting slightly acidic nanoe™ coated with water

particles through the passenger’s side vent*2.

● When the fan is turned on, nanoe™ system is activated.

● When the fan is operated in the following conditions, system performance

will be maximized. If the following conditions are not met, nanoe™ may not

operate at full capacity.

• The upper body, the upper body and feet or the feet air outlets are being

used. (P. 479)

• The passenger’s side vent is open.

● When nanoe™ is generated, a small amount of ozone is emitted and may

be faintly smelled in some situations. However, this is approximately the

same as the amount that already exists in nature, such as in forests, and it

has no affect on the human body.

● A slight noise may be heard during operation. This is not a malfunction.

*1: nanoe™ and the nanoe™ mark are trademarks of Panasonic Corporation.

*2: According to temperature and humidity conditions, fan speed and direction

of the air flow, nanoe™ may not operate at full capacity.

Settings (e.g. A/C Auto switch operation) can be changed.

(Customizable features: P. 679)

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.

●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.

● Vehicles with windshield wiper de-icer: Do not touch the glass at the lower

part of the windshield or to the side of the front pillars when the windshield

wiper de-icer is on.

■ nanoe™ generator (if equipped)

Do not disassemble or repair the generator because it contains high voltage

parts.

Contact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any

reliable repairer if the generator needs repair.

NOTICE

■ To prevent 12-volt battery discharge

Do not leave the air conditioning system on longer than necessary when the

hybrid system is off.

■ To prevent damage to the nanoe™ (if equipped)

Do not insert anything into the driver's side vent, attach anything to it, or use

sprays around the driver's side vent. These things may cause the generator

not to work properly.
