■Operating conditions
The system will only operate if all of
the following cond itions are met:
●The power switch is OFF.
●All doors are closed.
●The hood is closed.
■Remote Air Conditioning Sys-
tem automatic shut-off
The system will auto matically shut
off under the following conditions:
●About 20 minutes have passed

■Conditions affecting operation
The system may not start in the fol-
lowing situations:
●The charge level of the traction
battery is low
●When the EV system is cool (for
example, after being left for a long
time in low temperatures)
■Windshield defogger
When defogging the windshield
using the Remote Air Conditioning
System, defogging may be insuffi-
cient due to the power being
restricted more than during normal
air conditioning operation. Also, the
outside of the windshield may fog up
due to the outsi de temperature,
humidity or air conditioning set tem-
perature.
■Security feature
Any unlocked doors will be automat-
ically locked when the system is
operating. The emergency flashers

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
still reach a high or low level
due to features such as the
automatic shut-off. Children and
pets left inside the vehicle may
suffer heatstroke dehydration or
hypothermia, or could result in
death or serious injury.
●Depending on the surrounding
environment, signals from the
wireless switch may transmit
further than expected. Pay
appropriate attention to the
vehicle’s surroundings and use
the switch only when necessary.
●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.
