Recommended Posts


I have found a swtich on the dash near the steering wheel as an image of a person with blue arrows I have no idea what this does I press it a green light lights up but doesn't seem to do anything.

Toyota Avalon 2004 GXi

:unsure:

Have you checked the manual?

Isn't that to attract the flight attendant?

Like I said seems to do nothing ? there is a small little vent next to it as well.

The manual is missing and Frankston toyota is sending a new one out in the post plus some other little things I have found on the car not working or broken.

I'm woundering if it's some sort of climate control ???

Could you perhaps take a happysnap to show us?

Your description makes me imagine things ranging from centre-console airconditioning vent usage to internal air only to oops, I just let one rip. :lol:

The switch directs cold air to the driver only, even if you have the heater on. Great on long trips to help you stay awake.

When a use it I feel nothing I reckon it's a dummy button just to get your jolly for the green light.

Ok I got my new glovebox manual for my Avalon and when I had a read of it on the "COOL AIR BYPASS SWITCH" I still can't make sense of it but I do understand that it is a temperature controlled so that would mean that little vent next to it has to be a sensor. I have had it on all day but have not noticed it change temps or anything maybe it's faulty I don't know might have to get the dealership to have a look for me.

The switch is for cool air to be directed towards the driver , regardless what setting the controls are.So even if you have the heater on full , and press this button , cool air is sent though the vents to the drivers face.Its a great safety option ive never seen in any other car.The button works if the A/C is on or off , its an overide device.The small vents next to it are only for models fitted with climate control A/C and the there is sensor located behind it to read the cabin temperture.If you dont have climate control , the vent is still there and is just a blank device behind and does nothing.
