(a) Controls and functions The temperature control knob is used to adjust the temperature of the delivered air. Turn the knob toward the HIGH position for higher temperature and toward the LOW position for lower temperature. The air intake control button is used to select intake air, either outside air or recirculated air. With the button in the OUTSIDE AIR mode, the system will take fresh outside air into the unit. For recirculated air, set the button to the RECIRCULATED AIR mode. Pressing the button once again will let the button out in the OUTSIDE AIR mode. The air flow control buttons are used to select the air flow outlets air is delivered from. See "(f) Air flow selection" for detailed information. The fan speed control knob is used to turn on and off the fan and select the fan speed. The higher the fan speed setting is, the more air is delivered. Turning the knob to the "OFF" position turns off the fan. The air conditioning on-off button is used to turn on and off the air conditioning. With the button pressed in, the air conditioning turns on. Pressing the button once again will turn the air conditioning off. If the indicator light flashes, contact your Toyota dealer as soon as possible. There may be slippage of the drive belt or trouble in the compressor. If this happens, the air conditioning is automatically turned off to avoid damage to the drive belt. (b) Heating 1. Turn the temperature control knob anywhere except the LOW position. When dehumidified heating is desired, turn the knob between the HIGH and middle positions. If cooler air is desired at face level for bilevel operation, place the knob around the middle. 2.
