1-2. Child safety
WARNING
■When installing a child restraint system
For safety reasons, always install a child restraint system in a rear seat. In the event that the rear seat cannot be
used, the front seat can be used as long as the airbag manual on-off sys-tem is set to “OFF”.
If the airbag manual on-off system is left on, the strong impact of the airbag deployment (inflation) may cause
serious injury or even death.
■When a child restraint system is
not installed on the front passen- ger seat
Ensure that the airbag manual on-off
system is set to “ON”. If it is left off, the airbag may not deploy in the event of an accident,
which may result in serious injury or even death.
Riding with children
Observe the following precau-
tions when children are in the
vehicle.
Use a child restraint system
appropriate for the child, until
the child becomes large
enough to properly wear the
vehicle’s seat belt.
It is recommended that chil-
dren sit in the rear seats to
avoid accidental contact with
the steering wheel, wiper
switch, etc.
Use the rear door child-protec-
tor lock or the window lock
switch to avoid children open-
ing the door while driving or
operating the power window
accidentally. ( P.188, 221)
Do not let small children oper-
ate equipment which may
catch or pinch body parts,
such as the power window,
hood, back door, seats, etc.
WARNING
■When children are in the vehicle
Never leave children unattended in the vehicle, and never allow children to have or use the key.
Children may be able to start the vehi- cle or shift the vehicle into neutral. There is also a danger that children
may injure themselves by playing with the windows or other features of the vehicle. In addition, heat build-up or
extremely cold temperatures inside the vehicle can be fatal to children.

intruders or movement in the
vehicle.
The tilt sensor detects changes
in vehicle inclination, such as
when the vehicle is towed away.
This system is designed to deter
and prevent vehicle theft but does
not guarantee absolute security
against all intrusions.

days and the traction battery heater
automatically stops. It automatically
insulates the traction battery in
extremely low temperatures.
This control stops 31 days after
the charging cable is connected,
even if it is still connected to the
vehicle.
When this control operates,
charging schedule settings are
ignored and charging starts
immediately.
■Traction battery cooler
When the traction battery is hot and
the AC charging cable is connected
to the vehicle, this function cools
the traction battery to protect it.
The function may operate when
continuously driving at high speeds
such as driving on highways or
freeways, or during DC charging.
■Using My Room Mode during DC charging
P. 1 4 6
■Traction battery heater
●Traction battery heater may operate when charging is not being performed.
●When Traction battery heater is oper-ating, the charging indicator will illumi-
nate.
●When Traction battery heater is oper-
ating during charging, the charging may take longer than normal.
●The remaining charge of the traction battery declines when the traction bat-tery heater operates, it might be nec-
essary to recharge the traction battery again in order to supplement the remaining charge.
■Traction battery cooler
●For AC charging: Traction battery cooler settings can be changed on the
multi-information display. ( P.115)
●The charging indicator will illuminate
when the traction battery cooler is on standby or operating.
●When the charge level of the traction battery is low, the traction battery cooler may not operate, even if the
temperature of the traction battery is high.
●When the following conditions are met while the traction battery cooler is operating, the cooling operation will
stop. • The hood is opened• The power switch is turned to ACC or
ON. • The shift position is changed to any position other than P
• The Remote Air Conditioning System is operated ( P.427) • The remaining charge of the traction
battery drops below a certain amount
●The traction battery cooler operates
using power supplied by the traction battery and an external power source.• While the traction battery cooler is
operating, the charge of the traction battery will increase and decrease within a certain range, and will not
increase as during AC charging. • When the traction battery cooler oper-ates, charger will recognize it as the
battery being charged. If this function operates while a charger which charges a charging fee is connected
to the vehicle, AC charging fees will apply.
■Changing of the traction battery cooler setting
Setting can be changed on the
multi-information display.
Use the meter control switches
( P.176) and select “Vehicle Settings”, “Charging Settings”, “Battery Cooler”, and change the setting.
