ror defoggers switch.
■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
conventional 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 interior.
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 per-
formance will decline. The frost
can be removed from the outside
heat exchanger by operating the
Remote Air Conditioning System
before driving ( P.405). When
frosted over, the heating operation
of the Remote Air Conditioning
System starts after defrosting.
• When “AUTO” switch is turned on,
the heating is controlled opti-
mally. Therefore, the set heating
performance may not be achieved
even if the fan speed setting is
increased.

Interior features
Outside heat exchanger
●In the following situations the gas-
oline engine may operate in order
to extract heat from the engine
coolant via the heater even in EV
mode.
• The outside temperature is approximately 14° F (-10°C) or low
• is operating
■Water droplets during air condi-
tioning operation
The outside heat exchanger, accu-
mulator and air conditioning piping
may incur condensation or frost may
form.
During or after the air conditioning
operation, water droplets may fall
from the vehicle. However, it is not a
malfunction.

■Fogging up of the windows
●The windows will easily fog up
when the humidity in the vehicle is
high. Turning “A/C ” switch on will
dehumidify the air from the outlets
and defog the windshield effec-
tively.
●If you turn “A/C” switch off, the
windows may fog up more easily.
●The windows may fog up if the
recirculated air mode is used.
■While using “My Room Mode”
●It may not be possible to obtain
the intended defogging perfor-
mance even if is pressed.
If the windows need to be
defogged before driving, stop
charging power and then press
.
●When the outside temperature is
low, heating may feel insufficient
due to restricted operation of the
air conditioning.
Heating cannot be performed
when it is 14°F (- 10°C) or less as
the gasoline engine cannot be
started during “My Room Mode”. If
heating is desired, stop charging
and remove the AC charging
cable from the vehicle.
■When driving on dusty roads
Close all windows. If dust thrown up
by the vehicle is still drawn into the
vehicle after closing the windows, it
is recommended that the air intake
mode be set to outside air mode
and the fan speed to any setting
except off.
■Outside/recirculated air mode
●Setting to the recirculated air
mode temporarily is recom-
mended in preventing dirty air
from entering the vehicle interior
and helping to c ool the vehicle
when the outside air temperature
is high.
●Outside/recirculated air mode may
automatically switch depending on
the temperature setting or the
inside temperature.

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 outside temperature,
humidity or air conditioning set tem-
perature.
■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 conditioning.
●When the outside heat exchanger
becomes frosted over, heating
performance may decline due to
automatically switching to the frost
removal operation. ( P.396)
■Security feature
Any unlocked doors will be automat-
ically locked when the system is
operating. The buzzer sounds and
the emergency flashers flash to indi-
cate that the doors have been
locked or the system has been
turned off.
■Conditions affecting operation
P.218
■While the Remote Air Condi-
tioning System is operating
●Depending on the operating con-
dition of the Remote Air Condition-
ing System, the air conditioning
compressor or cooling fan may
spin and an operating noise may
be heard. However, this does not
indicate a malfunction.
●The air conditioning operation
switches, etc. will not operate
while the Remote Air Condition-
ing System is operating.

tures: P.569)
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 e xpected. Pay
appropriate attention to the
vehicle’s surroundings and use
the switch only when neces-
sary.
●Do not operate “A/C” on the
wireless remote control if the
hood is open. The Remote Air
Conditioning System may oper-
ate unintentionally and objects
may be drawn into the electrical
cooling fan.
NOTICE
■To prevent the hybrid battery
(traction battery) from being
discharged
Use “A/C” on the wireless remote
control only when necessary.

AVERTISSEMENT
■Précautions relatives aux
coussins gonflables SRS
Observez les pré cautions suiva-
ntes en ce qui concerne les cous-
sins gonflables SRS.
Négliger de le faire pourrait occa-
sionner des blessures graves,
voire mortelles.
●Le conducteur et tous les pas-
sagers du véhicule doivent por-
ter leur ceinture de sécurité de
la manière appropriée.
Les coussins gonflables SRS
sont des disposit ifs supplémen-
taires qui doivent être utilisés
avec les ceintures de sécurité.
●Le coussin gonflable SRS du
conducteur se déploie avec une
force considérable et peut occa-
sionner des bles sures graves,
voire mortelles, notamment lor-
sque le conducteur se trouve
très près du coussin gonflable.
La National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration (NHTSA),
aux États-Unis, fait les recom-
mandations suivantes :
La zone à risque du coussin gon-
flable du conducteur couvre
2à3in. (50à75mm) de la zone
de déploiement du coussin gon-
flable. Pour assurer une marge de
sécurité suffisante, restez à 10 in.
(250 mm) du coussin gonflable.
Cette distance est mesurée
depuis le centre du volant jusqu’à
votre sternum. Si maintenant
vous vous tenez a ssis à moins de
10 in. (250 mm), vous pouvez
changer votre position de con-
duite de plusieurs manières :
• Reculez votre siège à la posi- tion maximale vous permettant
d’atteindre encore aisément les
pédales.
• Inclinez légèrement le dossier du siège.
Bien que les véhicules soient
conçus différemment, la plupart
des conducteurs peuvent main-
tenir une distance de 10 in.
(250 mm), même si leur siège
se trouve complètement vers
l’avant, simplement en inclinant
un peu le dossier du siège vers
l’arrière. Si la visibilité avant est
moindre après avoir incliné le
dossier de votre siège, utilisez
un coussin ferme et non glissant
pour être assis plus haut ou
relevez le siège s i cette option
est disponible sur votre
véhicule.
• Si votre volant est réglable en hauteur, inclinez-le vers le bas.
Cela vous permet d’orienter le
coussin gonflable vers votre
buste plutôt que v ers votre tête
et vers votre cou.
Le siège doit être réglé de la
manière recommandée ci-dessus
par la NHTSA, tout en gardant le
contrôle des pédales et du volant,
ainsi que la vue sur les com-
mandes du tableau de bord.
