This may also reduce fuel consumption. ●It is possible to switch to outside air mode at any time by pressing ■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 is touched. ■Fogging up of the windows ●The windows will easily fog up when the humidity in the vehicle is high. on will dehumidify the air from the outlets and defog the wind- Turning shield effectively. ●If you turn ●The windows may fog up if the recirculated air mode is used. off, the windows may fog up more easily. AVALON (U)_(OM41456U) 250 5-1. Using the air conditioning system and defogger ■Outside/recirculated air mode ●When driving on dusty roads such as tunnels or in heavy traffic, set the out- side/recirculated air mode 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, outside temperature, pressure, engine coolant temper- ature or inside temperature. ■When the outside temperature exceeds 75°F (24°C) and the air condition- ing system is on (U.S.A. only) ●In order to reduce the air conditioning power consumption, the air condition- ing system may switch to recirculated air mode automatically. This may also reduce fuel consumption. ●Recirculated air mode is selected as a default mode when the engine switch is turned to IGNITION ON mode. ●It is possible to switch to outside air mode at any time by pressing ■When the outside temperature falls to nearly 32F (0C) The dehumidification function may not operate even when is touched. ■Ventilation and air conditioning odors ●To let fresh 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. ■Air conditioning filter P. 348 AVALON (U)_(OM41456U) 5-1. Using the air conditioning system and defogger 251 ■Handling of the air conditioning panel The operating section of the air conditioning panel uses capacitive touch sen- sors. In the following cases, incorrect operation or non-response may occur. ●If the operating section is dirty or has liquid attached to it, incorrect operation or non-response may occur. ●If the operating section receives electromagnetic waves, incorrect operation or non-response may occur. ●If wearing gloves during operation, non-response may occur. ●If fingernails are used to operate the system, non-response may occur. ●If a touch pen is used to operate the system, non-response may occur. ●If the palm of your hand touches the operating section during operation, incorrect operation may occur. ●If the palm of your hand touches the operating section, incorrect operation may occur. ●If operations are performed quickly, non-response may occur. ■Customization Settings (e.g. air conditioning setting) can be changed. (Customizable features P. 455) CAUTION ■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 wind- shield can cause the outer surface of the windshield to fog up, blocking your vision. NOTICE ■To prevent battery discharge Do not leave the air conditioning system on longer than necessary when the engine is stopped. AVALON (U)_(OM41456U) 252 5-1.

The responding agent receives the vehicle’s location and attempts to speak with the vehicle occupants to assess the level of emergency. If the occupants are unable to communicate, the agent automati- cally treats the call as an emergency, contacts the nearest emer- gency services provider to describe the situation, and requests that assistance be sent to the location.

Read this information before using Safety Connect. ■ Exposure to radio frequency signals The Safety Connect system installed in your vehicle is a low-power radio transmitter and receiver. It receives and also sends out radio frequency (RF) signals. In August 1996, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) adopted RF exposure guidelines with safety levels for mobile wire- less phones. Those guidelines are consistent with the safety stan- dards previously set by the following U.S. and international standards bodies. ● ANSI (American National Standards Institute) C95.1 [1992] ● NCRP (National Council on Radiation Protection and Measure- ment) Report 86 [1986] ● ICNIRP (International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection) [1996] Those standards were based on comprehensive and periodic eval- uations of the relevant scientific literature. Over 120 scientists, engi- neers, and physicians from universities, and government health agencies and industries reviewed the available body of research to develop the ANSI Standard (C95.1). The design of Safety Connect complies with the FCC guidelines in addition to those standards. ■Certification for Safety Connect FCC ID: O6Y-CDMRF101 FCC ID: XOECDMRF101B FCC ID: N7NGTM2 NOTE: This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
