E08302800015 WARNING
l The 
 Remote  Climate  Control,  even  when
set,  cannot  be  relied  upon  to  maintain
safe  vehicle  cabin  temperatures  while  the
vehicle  is  stopped  or  parked.  Never  leave
children or persons requiring supervision/
nursing  unattended  inside  the  vehicle.
The  temperature  inside  the  vehicle  could
become  extremely  high  or  low  resulting
in  a  risk  of  heat  stroke  or  hyperthermia
that could result in death.
In  addition,  children  can  activate
switches  and  controls,  resulting  in  injury
or a fatal accident.
l While the Remote Climate Control is acti-
vated, keep away from the cooling fan un-
der  the  bonnet,  since  the  cooling  fan  may
automatically  operate  even  if  the  electric
motor switch is in the “LOCK” position.
NOTE l The 
Remote  Climate  Control  works  regard-
less  of  the  position  of  the  air  conditioning
switch  or  dial  on  the  vehicle.  While  the  Re-
mote Climate Control is activated, the air con-
ditioning  switch  or  dial  on  the  vehicle  will
not  affect  operation  of  the  cooler,  heater  or
defroster.
l The  Remote  Climate  Control  will  automati-
cally  stop  30  minutes  after  the  Remote  Cli-
mate Control has been set. l
The 
 Remote  Climate  Control  is  operated  by
electric power supplied through the EV charg-
ing cable (regular charger).
l Under  the  following  conditions,  the  effect  of
the Remote Climate Control can be decreased.
• When the outside temperature is very high.
• When the sunlight is strong.
• When the outside temperature is very low.
l When  the  Remote  Climate  Control  is  activa-
ted  while  charging  the  traction  battery,  the
time required to fully charge the traction bat-
tery  will  become  longer  or  the  amount  of
charge  may  decrease  if  the  OFF  timer  has
been set.
l While the Remote Climate Control is activa-
ted, if a heated seat switch is ON, the heated
seat will operate.
To operate the Remote Climate Control E08302900016
The  following  conditions  must  be  met  to  operate
the Remote Climate Control.
l Selector lever: P (PARK) position.
l Electric motor switch: LOCK position.
l EV 
charging cable (regular charger): Connec-
ted.
l Quick charging: Not used.
l Traction  Battery  Level  Indicator:  Shows  one

The remaining energy in the traction battery can be
checked using the MiEV Remote.
1. If 
the  MiEV  Remote  has  been  turned  off,
turn on the MiEV Remote. Refer to “To turn
the MiEV Remote ON/OFF” on page 1-24.
2. Current remaining energy in the traction bat- tery is shown on the display while the MiEV
Remote is ON. The  remaining  energy  is  shown  by  the  num-
ber of segments displayed.
:
3 segments: Full or nearly full :
2 segments: Moderate :
1 segment: Low :
0 segments: Empty or nearly empty NOTE
l More 
than    remaining  quantity  in  the
traction 
battery is necessary to operate the Re-
mote Climate Control.
