Important operation tips forthe air conditioner E00708302098
l Park the vehicle in the shade.
Parking in the hot sun will make the ve-
hicle inside extremely hot, and it will re-
quire more time to cool the interior.
If it is necessary to park in the sun, open
the windows for the first few minutes of air conditioning operation to expel the
hot air.
l Close the windows when the air condi-
tioner is in use. The entry of outside air
through open windows will reduce the cooling efficiency.
l Too much cooling is not good for the
health. Keep the difference between the
vehicle interior temperature and outside
temperature to 5 to 6 °C.
l When operating the system, make sure
the air intake, which is located in front of the windscreen, is free of obstructionssuch as leaves and snow. Leaves collec-
ted in the air-intake plenum may reduce
air flow and plug the plenum water drains.
l Too much cooling/heating can affect the
EV cruising range, so maintain an appro-
priate temperature to extend the EV
cruising range.Air conditioning system refrig-
erant and lubricant recommen-dations
If the air conditioner seems less effective than usual, the cause might be a refrigerant leak. We recommend you to have the system
inspected.
The air conditioning system in your vehicle must be charged with the refrigerant
HFC-134a and the lubricant POE MA68EV.
Use of any other refrigerant or lubricant will cause severe damage which will result in the
need to replace your vehicle’s entire air con- ditioning system. The release of refrigerantinto the atmosphere is not recommended.
The new refrigerant HFC-134a in your vehi-
cle will not harm the ozone layer.
We recommend you to recover and recycle the refrigerant for reuse.
During a long period of disuse
The air conditioner should be operated for atleast five minutes each week, even in cold
weather. This is to prevent the compressor from seizing and to maintain the air condi-
tioner in the best operating condition.
Air purifier
E00708400718
An air filter has been incorporated into this air conditioner so that dirt and dust are
cleaned from the air.
Replace the air filter periodically as its ability
to clean the air will be reduced as it collects pollen and dirt. For the maintenance interval,
refer to the “SERVICE BOOKLET”.NOTEl Operation in certain conditions such as driv-
ing on a dusty road and frequent use of the air conditioner can lead to reduction of serv-
ice life of the filter. When you feel that the air flow is lower than normal or when the
windscreen or windows start to fog up easi- ly, replace the air filter.
We recommend you to have it checked.Remote Climate Control
E00735401045
You can run the air conditioner in advance ofusing the vehicle.
For details, refer to “Remote Climate Con- trol” on page 3-23.

HeatingE00733901059
When heating, the engine starts running be-
cause the heating system uses the heat of en-
gine coolant.
On vehicles with electric heater, it can de-
crease the number of times engine starting because electrical power stored in the drive battery is also used when heating.LW/MW/FM radio/CD
player* E00708503387
The audio system can only be used when theoperation mode of the power switch is in ON
or ACC.
NOTEl To listen to the audio system while the Plug-
in Hybrid EV system is not operating, put the operation mode of the power switch in
ACC.
If the operation mode of the power switch is
left in ACC, the accessory power will auto- matically turn off after a certain period oftime and you will no longer be able to use
the audio system. The accessory power comes on again if the operation mode of the
power switch is operated with is in the ACC.
Refer to “ACC power auto-cutout function” on page 7-10.
l If a cellular phone is used inside the vehicle,
it may create noise from the audio equip-
ment. This does not mean that anything is wrong with your audio equipment. In such acase, use the cellular phone at a place as far
away as possible from the audio equipment.
l If foreign objects or water get into the audio
equipment, or if smoke or a strange odour comes from it, immediately turn off the au-
dio system. We recommend you to have it checked. Never try to repair it by yourself.
Avoid continuous usage without inspection
by a qualified person.Important Points on Usage

Handling of DiscsE00735901040
This explains care that should be taken in the handling of discs.
Important Points on Handling
l Fingerprints or other marks on the read
surface of the disc may result in its con-
tent being more difficult to read. When
holding the disc, grip both edges, or one edge and the centre hole, in order that
the read surface is not touched.
l Do not affix paper or stickers, or other-
wise damage the disc.
l Do not forcefully insert a disc if another
is already within the device. This can re- sult in damage to discs, or malfunction.
Cleaning
l Periodically clean the read surface of the
disc. When cleaning, do not wipe in a
circular motion. Instead, wipe gently outwards from the centre of the disc to the outer edge.
l New discs may have burring around the
outer edge or in the hole in the centre.
Ensure you check for these. If there are burrs, these may lead to faulty operation,
therefore ensure these are removed.
Important Points on Storage
l When not using discs, ensure these are
kept in cases, and stored out of direct
sunlight.
l If discs are not going to be used for a
long period of time, remove these from
the product.
Disc Playback Environment
In cold environments such as in mid-winter when the interior of the vehicle is cold, turn-ing the heater on and immediately trying to
use the product may cause condensation (wa-
ter droplets) to form on the disc and internal optical components, and this may prevent the product from operating correctly.
In these conditions, remove the disc, and wait
a short time before use.

E00736400029
MP3 is the abbreviation of “MPEG-1 Audio
Layer 3”. MPEG is an abbreviation of “Mo-tion Picture Experts Group”, and this is a vid-
eo compression standard used in video CDs, etc.
MP3 is one of the audio compression meth-
ods contained in the MPEG audio standard,
and reduces the quality of sounds that are be- yond the auditory resolution of the human ear
and that are hidden by louder sounds, thus
creating high-quality data with a lower data
size.
This can compress CD audio to approximate- ly 1/10 its original data size without percepti-
ble loss, approximately 10 CDs can be writ-
ten to a single CD-R/RW disc.
CAUTIONl MP3 files different to the standards at right
may not play back correctly, or file/folder names may not be displayed correctly.

Can Be Played Back
