■To not interrupt the windshield defogger from operating
Do not place anything on the instru- ment panel which may cover the air outlets. Otherwise, air flow may be
obstructed, preventing the windshield defoggers from defogging.
NOTICE
■Humidity sensor
In order to detect fog on the wind- shield, a sensor which monitors the
temperature of the windshield, the surround humidity, etc. is installed.
Follow these points to avoid damag-
ing the sensor:
●Do not disassemble the sensor
●Do not spray the glass cleaner on the sensor or subject it to strong
impacts
●Do not stick anything on the sensor

6-1. Using the air conditioning system and defogger
Interior features
●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.452)
■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.225
■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

■When the electronic key battery is fully depleted
 P.543
■Customization
Setting (e.g. Operation using “A/C” on the wireless remote control) can be changed. (Customizable features:
 P.629)
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.
