WARNING
■ Precautions for the Remote
Air Conditioning System
● Do not use the system if people
are in the vehicle.
Even when the system is in use,
the internal temperature may
still reach a high or low level
due to features such as the
automatic shut-off. Children and
pets left inside the vehicle may
suffer heatstroke dehydration or
hypothermia or could result in
death or serious injury.
● Depending on the surrounding
environment, signals from the
wireless switch may transmit
further than expected. Pay
appropriate attention to the
vehicle's surroundings and use
the switch only when neces-
sary.
● Do not operate "A/C" on the
wireless remote control if the
hood is open. The Remote Air
Conditioning System may oper-
ate unintentionally and objects
may be drawn into the electrical
cooling fan.
NOTICE
■ To prevent the hybrid battery
(traction battery) from being
discharged
Use "A/C" on the wireless remote
control only when necessary.
