dental contact wit h the shift lever, wiper switch etc.
● Use the rear door child-protector lock or the window lock switc h to

● Do not let small children operate equipment which may catch or
pinch body parts, such as the power window, hood, back door,
seats etc.
Observe the following precautions when children are in the vehi -
cle.
Use a child restraint system app ropriate for the child, until the
child becomes large enough to properly wear the vehicle’s seat
belt.

Never leave children unattended in the vehicle, and never allow children to
have or use the key.
Children may be able to start the vehicle or shift the vehicle into neutral.

Plug-in hybrid system
■“Traction Battery Cooler”
●When the hybrid battery (traction battery) is above a certain temperature
and the power switch is turned off, a check screen is displayed on the multi-
information display that indicates whether “Traction Battery Co oler” is imple-
mented. Approximately 5 minutes after selecting “Yes” on this s creen, sys-
tem operation becomes possible.
● When charging starts, “Traction Battery Cooler” only operates i f the hybrid
battery (traction battery) temperature is hot.
● The charging indicator is illuminated while “Traction Battery C ooler” is on
standby or operating.
● “Traction Battery Cooler” is implemented for a maximum of approximately
30 minutes. However, when the “Departure” time is set ( P. 154) and there
is not sufficient time between the current time and the time that charging will
complete, “Traction Battery Cooler” operation time may become s horter.
● When there is a small amount of remaining charge in the hybrid battery
(traction battery), even if the hybrid battery (traction battery) is hot, “Traction
Battery Cooler” may not be implemented.
● When the following operations are performed while “Traction Bat tery Cooler”
is operating, the hybrid battery (traction battery) cooling operation stops.
• A door is opened
• The hood is opened
• The power switch is turned to any mode other than off
• The shift position is changed to any position other than P
• The Remote Air Conditioning System is operated ( P. 5 1 8 )
• “Charge Now” is implemented ( P. 163, 172)
• The amount of remaining charge in the hybrid battery (traction battery) is
below a certain amount
● When the power switch is turned off, a check screen is displayed on the
multi-information display that indicates whether “Traction Batt ery Cooler” is
implemented. This check screen can be turned on and off in the “Meter Cus-
tomize” settings on the multi-information display ( P. 242). However, when
the check screen is set to “Off”, “Traction Battery Cooler” is no longer oper-
ates.
● “Traction Battery Cooler” uses the power of the hybrid battery (traction bat-
tery) and external power source.
• While “Traction Battery Cooler” is operating, the amount of th e remaining
charge of the hybrid battery (traction battery) increases and d ecreases in
a certain range, and does not increase as in normal charging.
• The operation of “Traction Battery Cooler” is recognized as ch arging by a
charging equipment. The charging equipment that calculates the fee
according to charging time causes a charging fee.

sor is cold, such as in an extremely cold environment

Interior features
WARNING
■Precautions for the Remote Air Conditioning System
● Do not use the system if people are in the vehicle.
Even when the system is in use, the internal temperature may st ill reach a
high or low level due to features such as the automatic shut-of f. Children
and pets left inside the vehicle may suffer heatstroke dehydration or hypo-
thermia or could result in death or serious injury.
● Depending on the surrounding environment, signals from the wire less
switch may transmit further than expected. Pay appropriate attention to
the vehicle’s surroundings and use the switch only when necessa ry.
● Do not operate “A/C” if the hood is open. The air conditioning may operate
unintentionally and objects may be drawn into the electrical cooling fan.
