'02 4Runner_U (L/O 0108) -Air flow selector settings -Operating tips D To cool off your Toyota after it has been parked in the hot sun, drive with the windows open for a few minutes. This vents the hot air, allowing the air conditioning to cool the interior more quickly. D Make sure the air intake grilles in front of the windshield are not blocked (by leaves or snow, for example). D On humid days, do not blow cold air on the windshield. The windshield could fog up because of the difference in air temperature on the inside and outside of the windshield. D Keep the area under the front seats clear to allow air to circulate throughout the vehicle. D On cold days, set the fan speed to high for a minute to help clear the intake ducts of snow or moisture. This can reduce the amount of fogging on the windows. D 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 selector be set to FRESH and the fan speed to any setting except "OFF". 2002 MY 4RUNNER_U (OM35787U) : See "Instrument panel vents" in this section. 170
