WARNING
• The air conditioning cooling function
operates only when the power switch
is in the ON position or when the
READY to drive indicator light is ON.
• Do not leave children or adults who
would normally require the support of
others alone in your vehicle. Pets
should not be left alone either. On hot,
sunny days, temperatures in a closed
vehicle could quickly become high
enough to cause severe or possibly
fatal injuries to people or animals.
• Do not use the recirculation mode for
long periods as it may cause the inte-
rior air to become stale and the win-
dows to fog up.
Note:
•Odors from inside and outside the vehicle
can build up in the air conditioner unit.
Odor can enter the passenger compart-
ment through the vents.
•When parking, set the heater and air con-
ditioner controls to turn off air recircula-
tion to allow fresh air into the passenger
compartment. This should help reduce
odors inside the vehicle.The climate control system (air conditioner and
heater functions) can be operated when the
READY to drive indicator light is illuminated.
However, while charging, the climate control sys-
tem can be used when the power switch is in the
ON position.
The fan, heater and air conditioning can be turned
on manually, using the timer function and using
the remote climate control function.
These functions operate in the following condi-
tions.

Automatic operation (AUTO)
The AUTO mode may be used year-round as the
system automatically controls constant tempera-
ture, air flow distribution and fan speed.
To turn off the climate control, press the A/C-
Heater ON·OFF button.
The same operating mode (Heater or A/C) that
was active when the system is turned off is active
when system is turned back on.
While operating the climate control in the AUTO
mode, selecting any other climate control button
de-activates the AUTO mode and activates
manual mode.
Cooling and/or dehumidified heating:
The dehumidified heating mode can be used to
keep the windows from fogging. In this mode, the
heat pump compressor is used in A/C mode for
dehumidifying the air instead of heating it. The
PTC heater is also used in conjunction to heat the
air. This mode will increase energy consumption
and therefore reduce range.

1. Press the AUTO button. The AUTO indicator
will illuminate.
2. If the A/C indicator light does not illuminate,
press the A/C button. The A/C indicator light
will illuminate.
3. If the HEAT indicator light does not illuminate,
press the HEAT button. The HEAT indicator
light will illuminate.
4. Turn the temperature control dial to set the
desired temperature. The temperature range
is between 60°F (18°C) and 90°F (32°C) .
5. To set the automatic control mode, press and
hold the
(intake air control) button. The
indicator will blink twice and inside/outside
circulation will switch automatically.
A visible mist may be seen coming from the
ventilators in hot, humid conditions as the air is
cooled rapidly. This does not indicate a malfunc-
tion.
Heating (A/C off):
1. Press the AUTO button. The AUTO indicator
will illuminate.
2. Press the HEAT button. The indicator light on
the HEAT button will come on. If the indicator
light on the A/C button remains on, press the
A/C button so that the indicator light turns off.3. If the A/C indicator light illuminates, press the

4. Turn the temperature control dial to set the
desired temperature. The temperature range
is between 60°F (16°C) and 90°F (32°C) .
• Do not set the temperature lower than the
outside air temperature. Doing so may pre-
vent the temperature from being controlled
properly.
• If the windows fog up, use dehumidified
heating instead of the A/C off heating.
Dehumidified defrosting/defogging:
1. Press the front defroster
button. (The
indicator light will illuminate.)
2. Turn the temperature control dial to set the
desired temperature.
• To remove moisture or fog on the front win-
dow quickly, set the temperature to the high

Ventilation:
1. Press the AUTO button so that the indicator
light turns off.
2. Press the HEAT button and A/C button if the
indicator lights are on so that both indicator
lights turn off.
Note:
The ventilation mode requires a lower
power consumption, so cruising distance
will increase.Air recirculation:
Press the intake air control
button to
change the air circulation mode. When the indi-
cator light illuminates, the flowing air is recircu-
lated inside the vehicle.
Outside air circulation:
Press the intake air control
button to
change the air circulation mode. When the indi-
cator light does not illuminate, the flowing air is
drawn from outside the vehicle.

hold the
(intake air control) button. The
indicator light will blink twice and the inside/
outside circulation will then be controlled auto-
matically. When in automatic mode, the indictor
light will come on when inside air recirculation is
active.
Note:
•Odors from inside and outside the vehicle
can build up in the air conditioner unit.
Odor can enter the passenger compart-
ment through the vents.•When parking, set the heater and air con-
ditioner controls to turn off air recircula-
tion to allow fresh air into the passenger
compartment. This should help reduce
odors inside the vehicle.
Climate Ctrl. Timer
The air conditioner starts to operate at the time of
day and day of the week specified in the settings.
This pre heats or pre cools the vehicle to a factory
preset temperature in the passenger compart-
ment before driving while the charger is con-
nected to vehicle. This helps reduce power con-
sumption from the Li-ion battery.
As the temperature is set to the factory default
setting, the user cannot adjust the temperature.
The Climate Ctrl. Timer operates the air condi-
tioner using power from the charger. Electric
power from the Li-ion battery is not used.
Once the Climate Ctrl. Timer is set, it automati-
cally starts when the set time is reached. It is
therefore not necessary to set the Climate Ctrl.
Timer everyday.

WARNING
Even if the Climate Ctrl. Timer is set, the
temperature in the passenger compart-
ment may become high or low if the sys-
tem automatically stops. Do not leave
children or adults who would normally
require the support of others alone in
your vehicle. Pets should not be left
alone either. On hot, sunny days, tem-
peratures in a closed vehicle could
quickly become high enough to cause
severe or possibly fatal injuries to people
or animals. Also on cold days, tempera-
ture in a vehicle could become low
enough to cause sever or possible fatal
injuries to people or animals.1. Push the
