NOTElThere is an interior air temperature sensor (A) in the illustrated position.
Never place anything on top of the sensor, since doing so will prevent it from functioning properly.
l Since the air conditioning operation is controlled while the ECO mode is operating, you may feel that effectiveness of the air conditioner is weak.
Also, on vehicles without electric heater, the heating performance cannot be obtained while the ECO mode is operating since engine starting is controlled. In such case, cancel ECO mode.

HeatingE00733901059
When heating, the engine starts running be-
cause the heating system uses the heat of en-
gine coolant.
On vehicles with electric heater, it can de-
crease the number of times engine starting because electrical power stored in the drive battery is also used when heating.LW/MW/FM radio/CD

it may create noise from the audio equip-
ment. This does not mean that anything is wrong with your audio equipment. In such acase, use the cellular phone at a place as far
away as possible from the audio equipment.
l If foreign objects or water get into the audio
equipment, or if smoke or a strange odour comes from it, immediately turn off the au-
dio system. We recommend you to have it checked. Never try to repair it by yourself.

Handling of DiscsE00735901040
This explains care that should be taken in the handling of discs.
Important Points on Handling
l Fingerprints or other marks on the read
surface of the disc may result in its con-
tent being more difficult to read. When
holding the disc, grip both edges, or one edge and the centre hole, in order that
the read surface is not touched.
l Do not affix paper or stickers, or other-
wise damage the disc.
l Do not forcefully insert a disc if another
is already within the device. This can re- sult in damage to discs, or malfunction.
Cleaning
l Periodically clean the read surface of the
disc. When cleaning, do not wipe in a
circular motion. Instead, wipe gently outwards from the centre of the disc to the outer edge.
l New discs may have burring around the
outer edge or in the hole in the centre.
Ensure you check for these. If there are burrs, these may lead to faulty operation,
therefore ensure these are removed.
Important Points on Storage
l When not using discs, ensure these are
kept in cases, and stored out of direct
sunlight.
l If discs are not going to be used for a
long period of time, remove these from
the product.
Disc Playback Environment
In cold environments such as in mid-winter when the interior of the vehicle is cold, turn-ing the heater on and immediately trying to
use the product may cause condensation (wa-
ter droplets) to form on the disc and internal optical components, and this may prevent the product from operating correctly.
In these conditions, remove the disc, and wait
a short time before use.

1.Get the vehicles close enough so the
jumper cables can reach, but be sure the vehicles aren’t touching each other.
2. Turn off all lamps, heater and other elec-
trical loads.
3. Set the parking brake firmly on each ve-
hicle. Set the gear of another vehicle in
“P” (PARK) position (with A/T) or in
“N” (Neutral) position (with M/T) and
stop the engine.WARNINGl When connecting the jumper cable, stop
the engine in the other vehicle. Otherwise, the cables or your clothes may be caught by the fan or drive belt and personal in-
jury could result.
l The cooling fan turns on and off depend-
ing on the coolant temperature. Do not bring your hands close to the fan while
the engine is running or the Plug-in Hy-
brid EV System is operating.
4. Open the bonnet, remove the fuse cover
of the main fuse block.
Refer to “Bonnet” on page 11-04 and
“Fuses: Engine compartment” on page
11-17.
5. Open the cover of the jumper cable ter-
minal in the main fuse block.
NOTEl You cannot rescue another vehicle’s dis-
charged battery by connecting jumper cables
while using this jumper cable terminal.
6. Connect one end of one jumper cable
to the jumper cable terminal (A) of your
vehicle, and the other end
to the posi-
tive (+) terminal of the booster battery (B).
Connect one end of the other jumper ca- ble
to the negative (-) terminal of the
booster battery, and the other end
to
the designated ground location of your
vehicle.WARNINGl When connecting the jumper cables, do
not connect the positive (+) cable to the
negative (-) terminal. Otherwise sparks
might cause explosion of the battery.
