The MiEV Remote System has the following three functions.  Charging Timer When the EV charging cable (regularcharger) (Level 1 or Level 2) is con- nected, the batteries will only charge during the pre-set ti
me period selected
using the MiEV Remote.
 Remote Climate Control When the EV charging cable (regular charger) (Level 1 or Level 2) is con- nected, the air-conditioner or heater canbe activated for up to 30 minutes prior to vehicle usage. This feature can be used to cool or heat the car and to acti-vate the front and rear window defroster.
 Main Drive Lithium-ion Battery Level Indicator The charge remaining in the Main Drive Lithium-ion Battery can be con-firmed through the MiEV Remote.
For your quick reference, refer to “Basic operation of the MiEV Remote” on page 3-35.MiEV Remote System
WA R N I N G Individuals who use
implantable pace-
makers or implanta
ble cardiovascular-
defibrillators
should keep away from the
external and internal
transmitters. The
electromagnetic wave
s used in the MiEV
Remote System may affect the operation of implantable pacemakers and implant- able cardiovascular-defibrillators. Individuals using ot
her electro-medical
apparatus besides implantable pacemak-ers and implantable
cardiovascular-defi-
brillators should
check with the
manufacturer of the apparatus to confirmthe effect of the el
ectromagnetic waves
used by the MiEV Remote System. The electromagnetic wave
s may affect the
operations of the el
ectro-medical appara-
tus. Never use the MiEV Remote near medical equipment. Electrom
agnetic waves could
adversely affect th
e medical equipment.

Keep the MiEV Remote in the place where children will not touch or play with theremote. When bringing the MiEV Remote on flights, do not press any switches on theMiEV Remote while on the plane. If a switch is pressed on the plane, the MiEV Remote emits electromagnetic waveswhich like cell phones and other wireless devices, could interfere with systems on the airplane.When carrying the MiEV Remote in a bag, be careful that no switches on the MiEV Remote can be pressed by mistake.CAUTION Never disassemble or modify the MiEV Remote. No user servic
eable parts are inside
except batteries. Disassembling or modifying the MiEV Remote or removing a label from the MiEV Remote may violate regulations. WA R N I N G

There are two methods to cancel Charging Timer.  By using the MiEV Remote  By operating the electric motor switch on the vehicle
A. By using the MiEV Remote
1. When the power of MiEV Remote is off, turn the power ON. Refer to “To turn the MiEV Remote ON/OFF” onpage 3-38. 2. Press the manual charging switch (J), then press the power/communicationswitch (B) for less than 1 second.
3. Canceling Charging Timer is com- plete, and the MiEV Remote willsound two different melodies. 4. Turn off the MiEV Remote. Refer to “To turn the MiEV Remote ON/OFF”on page 3-38.
B. By operating the electric motor switch on the vehicleTurn the electric motor switch to the “ACC” or “ON” position, then turn back to the “LOCK” position. Canceling the Charging Timer is now complete.
To cancel Charging Timer
NOTE
 If the Charging Timer is canceled during charging, the charging wi
ll continue until the
Main Drive Lithium-ion Battery is fullycharged.  If the Charging Timer is canceled before charging starts, charging
will start immedi-
ately and continue until the Main Drive Lith- ium-ion Battery is fully charged.
 Charging Timer cannot be canceled by dis- connecting the charge
connector before the
time set by the ON timer. The ChargingTimer will resume when the charging con- nector is again connected to the vehicle.NOTE
 If the manual charging sw
itch (J) is pressed,

The following conditions must be met to operate the Remote Climate Control.  Selector lever:
P (PARK) position.
 Electric motor switch: LOCK position.  EV charging cable (re
gular charger): Con-
nected.  Quick charging: Not used.  Main Drive Lithium-ion Battery Level Indicator: Shows one bar or more. Refer to “Main Drive Lithium-ion Battery LevelIndicator” on page 3-45.  All doors and the liftgate: Closed. 1. Start charging. Refer to “Regular charging (charging method with rated AC 120 V outlet)” on page 3-15.
Remote Climate Control
WA R N I N G The Remote Climate Control, even when set, cannot be relied upon to maintain safevehicle cabin temperatures while the vehi- cle is stopped or park
ed. Never leave chil-
dren or persons requiringsupervision/nursing unattended inside the vehicle. Temperature inside the vehicle could become extremely high or lowresulting in a risk of
heat stroke or hyper-
thermia that could result in death. In addition, children
can activate switches
and controls, resulting in an injury or fatal accident. While the Remote Climate Control is acti- vated, keep away from
the cooling fan
under the front hood,
since the cooling fan
may automatically operate even if the electric motor switch is in the “LOCK” position.NOTE
 The Remote Climate Control works regard- less the position of the air conditioningswitch or dial on the vehicle. While the Remote Climate Control is activated, the air conditioning switch or di
al on the vehicle
will not affect operation
of the cooler, heater
or defroster.
 The Remote Climate Control will automati- cally stop 30 minutes after the Remote Cli-mate Control has been set.  The Remote Climate Control is operated by electric power s
upplied through the EV
charging cable (regular charger).  Under the following c
onditions, the effect of
the Remote Climate Control can be decreased. • When the outside temperature is very high. • When the sunlight is strong.• When the outside temperature is very low.  When Remote Climate Control is activated while charging the Main Drive Lithium-ion Battery, the time required to fully charge theMain Drive Lithium-ion Battery will become longer or the amount of charge may decrease if the OFF timer has been set.  If the Main Drive Lithium-ion Battery Warming System is operated while theRemote Climate Control is activated, the Remote Climate Control will stop. When the Main Drive Lithium-ion Battery WarmingSystem stops, the Remote Climate Control will resume. Refer to “Main Drive Lithium- ion Battery Warming System” on page 3-20.  While the Remote Climate Control is acti- vated, if a heated seat switch is ON, theheated seat will operate.NOTE
