The following conditions must be met to operate the Remote Climate Control.  Selector lever:
P (PARK) position.
 Electric motor switch: LOCK position.  EV charging cable (re
gular charger): Con-
nected.  Quick charging: Not used.  Main Drive Lithium-ion Battery Level Indicator: Shows one bar or more. Refer to “Main Drive Lithium-ion Battery LevelIndicator” on page 3-45.  All doors and the liftgate: Closed. 1. Start charging. Refer to “Regular charging (charging method with rated AC 120 V outlet)” on page 3-15.
Remote Climate Control
WA R N I N G The Remote Climate Control, even when set, cannot be relied upon to maintain safevehicle cabin temperatures while the vehi- cle is stopped or park
ed. Never leave chil-
dren or persons requiringsupervision/nursing unattended inside the vehicle. Temperature inside the vehicle could become extremely high or lowresulting in a risk of
heat stroke or hyper-
thermia that could result in death. In addition, children
can activate switches
and controls, resulting in an injury or fatal accident. While the Remote Climate Control is acti- vated, keep away from
the cooling fan
under the front hood,
since the cooling fan
may automatically operate even if the electric motor switch is in the “LOCK” position.NOTE
 The Remote Climate Control works regard- less the position of the air conditioningswitch or dial on the vehicle. While the Remote Climate Control is activated, the air conditioning switch or di
al on the vehicle
will not affect operation
of the cooler, heater
or defroster.
 The Remote Climate Control will automati- cally stop 30 minutes after the Remote Cli-mate Control has been set.  The Remote Climate Control is operated by electric power s
upplied through the EV
charging cable (regular charger).  Under the following c
onditions, 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.  When Remote Climate Control is activated while charging the Main Drive Lithium-ion Battery, the time required to fully charge theMain Drive Lithium-ion Battery will become longer or the amount of charge may decrease if the OFF timer has been set.  If the Main Drive Lithium-ion Battery Warming System is operated while theRemote Climate Control is activated, the Remote Climate Control will stop. When the Main Drive Lithium-ion Battery WarmingSystem stops, the Remote Climate Control will resume. Refer to “Main Drive Lithium- ion Battery Warming System” on page 3-20.  While the Remote Climate Control is acti- vated, if a heated seat switch is ON, theheated seat will operate.NOTE
To operate the Remote Climate Control
WA R N I N G Improper charging can result in a fire, property damage, and serious injury ordeath. Carefully read and fo
llow instructions in
“Precaution during Charging the MainDrive Lithium-ion Battery” on page 3-14 and “Regular chargi
ng (charging method
with rated AC 120 V ou
tlet)” on page 3-15.
