flow volume will change. (The
mode may automatically change to
outside air mode depending on the
situation)
To return to the previous mode,
press
again when the wind-
shield is defogged.

low, the HWD (Heated Windshield
Defroster) may also operate simul-
taneously. ( P. 233) At this time,
the amount of air flow may
restricted or stop.

Interior features
■Heating
●Heating is done by an electric 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 outside condenser is cold, condensed water from the condenser’s
surface may fall under the vehicle. However, it is not a malfunction.
● When the outside condenser is frosted over, the temperature display blinks,
fan speed declines and it may become harder to heat the interior. However,
it is not a malfunction.
■ How to defrost the outside condenser
If frost has formed of the outside condenser ( P. 277), the heating perfor-
mance will decline. The frost can be removed from the outside condenser by
either one of the following procedures.
● Operate the Remote Climate Control before driving. ( P. 228)
When frosted over, the heating operation starts after defrosting.
● Press and hold for approximately 2 seconds or more while the vehicle
is stopped to defrost. It will be canceled when the vehicle begins to mo\
ve.
■ Using automatic mode
Fan speed is adjusted automatically according to the temperature setting and
the ambient conditions.
Therefore, the fan may stop for a while until warm or cool air is ready to flow
immediately after is pressed.
■ “MAX” mode
●For quick warming or cooling, press .
Simultaneous use together with automatic mode will be more effective.
● When “MAX” mode is used, traction bat tery consumption is greater than
usual and the driving range decreases.
● If the amount of the remaining traction battery power is low, the “MAX” mode
operation may be limited.
● If the power switch is turned off while “MAX” mode is active, even if the
power switch is turned to ON mode again, “MAX” mode will remain off.

■Windshield fog detection function
When in automatic mode, the humidity sensor (P. 227) detects fog on the
front windshield and automatically controls the air conditioner, as follows, to
prevent fog.
● The fan speed changes.
● When introducing outside air, in the case of the air outlets (feet), the
ratio of outside air introduced changes.
● In case of the air outlets at (feet), it alternates (upper body and
feet).
■ Outside/recirculated air mode
●The windows may fog up if the recirculated air mode is used.
● When driving on dusty roads such as tunnels or in heavy traffic, set the out-
side/recirculated air mode button to the recirculated air mode. This is effec-
tive in preventing outside air from entering the vehicle interior. During
cooling operation, setting the recirculated air mode will also cool the vehicle
interior effectively.
● Outside/recirculated air mode may automatically switch depending on the
temperature setting or the inside temperature.
■ When the outside temperature exceeds 75°F (24°C) and the air condition-
ing system is on
●In order to reduce the air conditioning power consumption, the air condition-
ing system may switch to recirculated air mode automatically. This may also
reduce traction battery power consumption.
● Recirculated air mode is selected as a default mode when the power switch
is turned to ON mode.
● It is possible to switch to outside air mode at any time by pressing .
■ When the outside temperature is low
●The dehumidification function may not operate even when is pressed.
● When the windshield is defrosted (defogged), it may take a longer time than
that of conventional vehicles.
■ Air conditioning odors
●During use, various odors from inside and outside the vehicle may enter into
and accumulate in the air conditioning system. This may then cause odor to
be emitted from the vents.

Interior features
●To reduce potential odors from occurring:
• It is recommended that the air conditioning system be set to outside air
mode prior to turning the vehicle off.
• The start timing of the blower may be delayed for a short period of time immediately after the air conditioning system is started in automatic
mode.
■ Air conditioning filter
P. 297
CAUTION
■To prevent the windshield from fogging up
Do not use
during cool air operation in extremely humid weather. The
difference between the temperature of the outside air and that of the wind-
shield can cause the outer surface of the windshield to fog up, blocking your
vision.
NOTICE
■ Humidity sensor
■ To prevent 12-volt battery discharge
Do not leave the air conditioning system on longer than necessary when the
EV system is off.
In order to detect fog on the windshield, a
sensor which monitors the temperature
of the windshield, the surround humidity,
etc. is installed. ( P. 226)
Follow these points to avoid damaging
the sensor:
● Do not disassemble the sensor
● Do not spray the glass cleaner on the
sensor or subject it to strong impacts
● Do not stick anything on the sensor

Remote Climate Control System for EV*
Check the temperature setting of the air conditioning system. ( P. 220)
The Remote Climate Control will operate in accordance with the tempera-
ture settings of the air conditioning system.
Press and hold the to
operate the Remote Climate Con-
trol.
The system will shut off if a door is
opened.
The system can be stopped by
pressing the twice.
While charging with an external power source, the heater/air
conditioning can be operated before getting in the vehicle. If the
air conditioning system is remote ly activated while charging,
charging will stop but resume when the air conditioning system
goes off.
The Remote Climate Control cannot be used while charging with
quick charge.
Before leaving the vehicle

■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.
● The brake pedal is not being depressed.
● The charging cable is plugged in.
● The SOC (State of Charge) gauge is 8/10 or greater.
■ When leaving the vehicle
●Check that the headlights are switched to either off or “AUTO”.
● Check that the wiper switch is turned off.
● Check that all windows are closed.
■ Remote Climate Control automatic shut-off
The system will automatically shut off under the following conditions:
●About 10 minutes have passed since operation began
● Any one of the operating conditions is not met
● There is only a slight difference between the air conditioning set tempera-
ture and the inside temperature.
■ Remote Climate Control operation
●After the air conditioning system has been remotely activated, it may take
approximately 1 minute before the air conditioning system starts operating.
During that time, the air conditioning monitor display and the instrument
panel may come on.
● The system may not start in the following situations:
• The charge level of the traction battery is low
• When there is little difference between the outside temperature and air
conditioning set temperature
• When the EV system is cold (for example, after being left for a long time in low temperatures)
■ Security feature
Any unlocked doors will be automatically locked when the system is operat-
ing. The buzzer will beep and the emergency flashers flash when the doors
have been locked or the system has been turned off.
(The doors locked: Once; The system turned off: Twice)

■Conditions affecting operation
P. 125
■ When using the Remo te Climate Control
A charging message will be displayed on the multi-information display. Differ-
ent messages will be displayed depending on when the Remote Climate Con-
trol was started (after charging or during charging). ( P. 355)
■ While the Remote Climate Control is operating
●Depending on the operating condition of the Remote Climate Control, the
electric fan may spin and an operating noise may be heard. However, this
does not indicate a malfunction.
● The Remote Climate Control may stop operating temporarily if other fea-
tures that use electricity (for example, the seat heater, lights, windshield wip-
ers) are in operation or if the charge level of the 12-volt battery becomes
low.
