My Toyota Sienna Window Fogging

My Toyota Sienna air conditioning


Toyota Sienna Window Fogging
Interior fogging on the windshield can be quickly removed
by turning the mode selector to Defrost. The
Defrost/Floor mode can be used to maintain a clear
windshield and provide sufficient heating. If side window
fogging becomes a problem increase blower speed.
Toyota Sienna windows tend to fog on the inside in mild but
rainy or humid weather.

The Toyota Sienna electric Rear Window Defroster Control is
located on the climate control. Press this button to
turn on the rear window defroster. A light above the
button will illuminate when the rear window defroster is
ON. The defroster automatically turns off after approximately
15 minutes of operation for the first push of the
button, and will turn off after approximately 8 minutes
for the second push of the button.

Outside Air Intake
When operating the system, particularly during the winter
months, make sure the air intake, at the right side of
the hood, is free of ice, slush, snow, or other obstructions
such as leaves. Leaves collected in the air-intake plenum
may reduce airflow and plug the plenum water drains.

Toyota Sienna Control Setting Suggestions for Various Weather Conditions

Slight changes in your Toyota Sienna engine speed or power may be noticed
when the compressor is on. This is a normal occurrence
since the compressor will cycle on and off to maintain
comfort and increase fuel economy.
NOTE: If your air conditioning performance seems
lower than expected, check the front of the A/C condenser
for an accumulation of dirt or insects.

Recirculation Control
Air is recirculated inside the Toyota Sienna. You
may choose between Bi-Level and Panel air
outlets while in this mode. Use this mode to
temporarily block out any outside odors,
smoke, or dust and to cool the interior rapidly upon
initial start up in very hot or humid weather.

Toyota Sienna CLIMATE CONTROLS
The Air Conditioning and Heating System is designed to
make you comfortable in all types of weather.

Toyota Sienna Defog Air is directed to the
windshield, floor outlets, and
side window vents. Use this mode
to clear the windows of fog or
moisture and warm the passengers.

Toyota Sienna Defrost Air is directed to
the windshield, with some air
directed to the side window vents.
Use this mode to quickly remove fog
or frost from the windshield.
When defrost is selected, the Toyota Sienna air
conditioning turns on automatically to
improve defrosting performance. In
this mode the air conditioning cannot
be turned off and the recirculation
mode cannot be turned on.

Your Toyota Sienna Safety Belts

Questions and Answers About your Toyota Sienna Safety Belts
Q: Will I be trapped in my Toyota Sienna after a crash if I am wearing a
safety belt?

A: You could be — whether you are wearing a safety belt or not. But
your chance of being conscious
during and after an accident, so you can unbuckle and get out, is
much greater if you are belted.
And you can unbuckle a safety belt, even if you are upside down.

Q: If my Toyota Sienna has airbags, why should I have to wear safety belts?

A: Airbags are supplemental systems only; so they work with
safety belts—not instead of them. Whether or not an airbag is provided, all occupants still have
to buckle up to get the most
protection. That is true not only in frontal collisions, but especially in
side and other collisions.

Q: If I am a good driver, and I never drive far from home,
why should I wear safety belts?

A: You may be an excellent driver, but if you are in a crash—even
one that is not your fault—you and your passenger(s) can be
hurt. Being a good driver does not
protect you from things beyond your control, such as bad drivers. Most Toyota Sienna accidents occur within
25 miles (40 km) of home. And
the greatest number of serious injuries and deaths occur at
speeds of less than 40 mph (65 km/h).
Safety belts are for everyone.

OCCUPANT RESTRAINTS
Some of the most important safety features in your
Toyota Sienna are the restraint systems:
Three-point lap and shoulder belts for all seating positions
Pretensioning and load-limiting retractors for the front seat belts
Advanced multistage driver and new active-vent front passenger airbags
An energy-absorbing steering column and steering wheel
Knee Bolsters/Blockers for front seat occupants Front seat belt retractors incorporate pretensioners to
enhance occupant protection by managing occupant If you will a feature also can be used to
hold infant and child restraint systems.

In a collision, you and your passengers can suffer
much greater injuries if you are not properly buckled up. You can strike the interior of your Toyota Sienna or other
passengers, or you can be thrown out of the vehicle. Always be sure you and others in your Toyota Sienna are
buckled up properly.

Toyota Sienna Lap/Shoulder Belt Operating Instructions
1. Enter the vehicle and close the door. Sit back and adjust the seat.

2. The seat belt latch plate is near the seatback of the
front seats and next to your arm in the rear seats. Grasp
the latch plate and pull out the belt. Slide the latch plate up the webbing as far as necessary to allow the belt to go
around your lap.

3. When the belt is long enough to fit, insert the latch plate into the buckle until you hear a “click”.

4. Position the lap belt across your thighs, below your abdomen. To remove slack in the lap belt portion, pull up
on the shoulder belt. To loosen the lap belt if it is too tight,
tilt the latch plate and pull on the lap belt.

A snug belt reduces the risk of sliding under the belt in a collision.

A belt that is buckled into the wrong buckle will
not protect you properly. The lap portion could ride too high on your body, possibly causing internal
injuries. Always buckle your belt into the buckle nearest you.
A belt that is too loose will not protect you as well. In a sudden stop you could move too far forward,
increasing the possibility of injury. Wear your seat belt snugly.

It is extremely dangerous to ride in a Toyota Sienna cargo area, inside or outside
of a vehicle. In a collision, people riding in these areas are more likely to be seriously injured or
killed. Do not allow people to ride in any area of your vehicle that is
not equipped with seats and safety belts. Be sure everyone in
your vehicle is in a seat and using a safety belt properly.
