6-1. Using the air conditioning system and defogger
●
The outside temperature is extremely
low
●
When the hybrid system is cool (for
example, after being left for a long
time in low temperatures)
■
Windshield defogger
When defogging the windshield using
the Remote Air Conditioning System,
defogging may be insufficient due to the
power being restricted more than during
normal air conditioning operation. Also,
the outside of the windshield may fog up
due to the outside temperature, humidity
or air conditioning set temperature.
■
Using the heater via the Remote Air
Conditioning System
●
When the outside temperature is low,
heating may feel insufficient due to
restricted operation of the air condi-
tioning.
●
When the outside heat exchanger
becomes frosted over, heating perfor-
mance may decline due to automati-
cally switching to the frost removal
operation. (P.432)
■
Security feature
Any unlocked doors will be automatically
locked when the system is operating.
The emergency flashers flash to indicate
that the doors have been locked or the
system has been turned off.
■
Conditions affecting operation
P.254
■
While the Remote Air Conditioning
System is operating
●
Depending on the operating condition
of the Remote Air Conditioning Sys-
tem, the air conditioning compressor
or cooling fan may spin and an operat-
ing noise may be heard.
However, this does not indicate a mal-
function.
●
The air conditioning operation
switches, etc. will not operate while
the Remote Air Conditioning System
is operating.
■
Electronic key battery depletion
P.232
■
When the electronic key battery is
fully depleted
P.511

P.607)
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 dehy-
dration or hypothermia, or could
result in death or serious injury.
●
Depending on the surrounding envi-
ronment, 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 wire-
less remote control if the hood is
open. The air conditioning may
operate unintentionally and objects
may be drawn into the electrical
cooling fan.
NOTICE
■
To prevent the hybrid battery
(traction battery) from being dis-
charged
Use "A/C" on the wireless remote
control only when necessary.
