 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 symbol of MiEV Remote will blink. Remote Climate Control is also stopped.NOTE
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
dial on the vehicle
will not affect operation
of the cooler, heater
or defroster.
