'00 AVALON U (L/O9908) For details about air flow selector settings, see "-Air flow selector settings" described below. Air intake selector The air intake selector button is used to switch the air intake FRESH mode that draws outside air into the system and RECIRCULATED mode that recirculates the air inside vehicle. Press the button to select the air source. The air intake mode which is being selected is shown on the display. To prevent fogging up of the windshield, the air intake mode may change automatically to FRESH depending on the condition of the air conditioning system. For example, when the ambient temperature is low, the air intake mode may change automatically to FRESH. This is not a malfunction. "A/C" button To turn on the air conditioning, press the "A/C" button. The "A/C" button indicator will come on. To turn the air conditioning off, press the button again. If the "A/C" button indicator flashes, there is a problem in the air conditioning system and the air conditioning automatically shuts off. If this happens, take your vehicle to your Toyota dealer for service. 207
