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.

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
