in this section. Run time will be calculated
as follows: ∙ The first 10 minute run time will start when the Remote Hybrid Start function
is performed.
∙ The second 10 minutes will start imme- diately when the Remote Hybrid Start
function is performed again. For ex-
ample, if the hybrid system has been
running for 5 minutes, and 10 minutes
are added, the hybrid system will run for
a total of 15 minutes.
∙ Extending hybrid system run time will bring you to the two Remote Hybrid
Start limit.
A maximum of two Remote Hybrid Starts,
or a single start with an extension, are al-
lowed between ignition cycles. The ignition
switch must be cycled to the ON position
and then back to the OFF position before

OPERATING TIPS
The sunload sensor, located on the top and
center of the instrument panel, helps the
system maintain a constant temperature.
Do not put anything on or around this sen-
sor.∙ When the climate system is in auto-
matic operation and the hybrid system
coolant temperature and outside air
temperature are low, the air flow outlet
may default to defroster mode for a
maximum of 2 minutes 30 seconds.
This is not a malfunction. Af ter the cool-
ant temperature warms up, the air flow
outlet will return to foot mode and op-
eration will continue normally.
∙ When the outside and interior cabin temperatures are moderate to high, the
intake setting may default to turn off air
recirculation to allow fresh air into the
passenger compartment. You may no-
tice air flow from the foot mode, bi-level
mode, or side demist vent outlets for a
maximum of 15 seconds. This may oc-
cur when previous climate setting was
system off. This is not a malfunction.
Af ter the initial warm air is expelled, the
intake will return to automatic control,
air flow outlet will return to previous set-
tings, and operation will continue nor-
mally. To exit, press any climate control
button.
∙ Keep the moonroof (if so equipped) closed while the air conditioner is in op-
eration. ∙ If you feel that the air flow mode you
have selected and the outlets the air is
coming out do not match, select
the
mode.
∙ When you change the air flow mode, you may feel air flow from the feet vents
for just a moment. This is not a mal-
function.
