WARNING
●Check to make sure that all passen- gers do not have any part of their
body in a position where it could be caught when the panoramic moon roof is being operated.
●When using the wireless remote control or mechanical key and oper-
ating the panoramic moon roof, operate the panoramic moon roof after checking to make sure that

switch to outside air mode if the recircu-
lated air mode is used. (It may switch
automatically.)
To defog the windshield and the side
windows quickly, turn the air flow and
temperature up.
To return to the previous mode, press
the windshield defogger switch again
when the windshield is defogged.
When the windshield defogger switch is
on, the indicator illuminates on the
windshield defogger switch.
■Defogging the rear window
and outside rear view mirrors
Defoggers are used to defog the
rear window, and to remove rain-
drops, dew and frost from the out-
side rear view mirrors.
Press the rear window and outside
rear view mirror defoggers switch.
The defoggers will automatically turn off
after 15 minutes.

2Press the blower customization
switch.
3Each time the blower customi-
zation switch is pressed, the fan

Normal  “ECO”  “FAST”
■Heating
●In HV mode, the gasoline engine may
operate in order to extract heat from
the engine coolant via the heater.
●In EV mode, heating is done by a heat
pump system.
• When the outside temperature is low
or it is snowing, compared to conven-
tional vehicles, heating may be less
effective and warm air may not come
out.
• When the outside heat exchanger is
frosted over, fan speed declines and it
may become harder to heat the inte-
rior. However, it is not a malfunction.
In this situation, the air temperature
from the outlets may not change even
though the set temperature is raised.
• If frost has formed of the outside heat
exchanger, the heating performance
will decline. The frost can be removed
from the outside heat exchanger by
operating the Remote Air Conditioning
System before driving (P.438).
When frosted over, the heating opera-
tion of the Remote Air Conditioning
System starts after defrosting.
• When “AUTO” switch is turned on, the
heating is controlled optimally. There-
fore, the set heating performance may
not be achieved even if the fan speed
setting is increased.
Outside heat exchanger
●In the following situations the gasoline
engine may operate in order to extract
heat from the engine coolant via the
heater even in EV mode.
• The outside temperature is approxi-
mately -10°C (14°F) or low

4386-1. Using the air conditioning system and defogger
If the Remote Air Conditioning Sys-
tem is used while the AC charging
cable is connected to the vehicle,
electricity from an external power
source can be used minimizing the
drop in charge of the hybrid battery
(traction battery).
Charging will be conducted automati-
cally after the Remote Air Conditioning
System is stopped.
Check the temperature setting of
the air conditioning system.
(P.431)
The Remote Air Conditioning System
will operate in accordance with the tem-
perature settings of the air conditioning
system.
Press and hold “A/C” on the wire-
less remote control to operate the
Remote Air Conditioning System.
The system can be stopped by press-
ing “A/C” twice.
■Operating conditions
The system will only operate if all of the
following conditions are met:
●The shift lever is in P.
●The power switch is off.
●All doors are closed.
●The hood is closed.
■Remote Air Conditioning System
automatic shut-off
The system will automatically shut off
under the following conditions:
●About 20 minutes have passed since
operation began
●Any one of the operating conditions is
not met
The system may also shut off if the
charge level of the hybrid battery (trac-
tion battery) drops to low.
■Conditions affecting operation
The system may not start in the follow-
ing situations:
●The charge level of the hybrid battery
(traction battery) is low
Remote Air Conditioning
System
The Remote Air Conditioning
System uses electrical energy
stored in the hybrid battery
(traction battery) and allows
the air conditioning to be oper-
ated by remote control.

Interior features
●The outside temperature is extremely
low
●When the hybrid 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 insufficient 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 outside temperature, humidity
or air conditioning set temperature.
■Using the heater via the Remote Air Conditioning System
●When the outside temperature is low, heating may feel insufficient due to restricted operation of the air condi-
tioning.
●When the outside heat exchanger
becomes frosted over, heating perfor- mance may decline due to automati-cally switching to the frost removal
operation. ( P.432)
■Security feature
Any unlocked doors will be automatically locked when the system is operating.
The emergency flashers flash to indicate that the doors have been locked or the system has been turned off.
■Conditions affecting operation
 P.254
■While the Remote Air Conditioning System is operating
●Depending on the operating condition of the Remote Air Conditioning Sys-tem, the air conditioning compressor
or cooling fan may spin and an operat- ing noise may be heard.However, this does not indicate a mal-
function.
●The air conditioning operation
switches, etc. will not operate while the Remote Air Conditioning System is operating.
■Electronic key battery depletion

■Customization
Setting (e.g. Operation using “A/C” on the wireless remote control) can be changed. (Customizable features:
 P.607)
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 dehy-dration or hypothermia, or could
result in death or serious injury.
●Depending on the surrounding envi-
ronment, signals from the wireless switch may transmit further than expected. Pay appropriate attention
to the vehicle’s surroundings and use the switch only when neces-sary.
●Do not operate “A/C” on the wire-less remote control if the hood is
open. The air conditioning may operate unintentionally and objects may be drawn into the electrical
cooling fan.
NOTICE
■To prevent the hybrid battery (traction battery) from being dis-charged
Use “A/C” on the wireless remote control only when necessary.
