■Heating
●In HV mode, the gasoline engine may operate in order to exhaust heat from
the engine coolant via the heater.
● In EV mode, heating is done by a heat pump system.
• When the outside temperature is low or it is snowing, compared to con-
ventional vehicles, heating may be less effective and warm air may not
come out.
• If frost has formed of the outside heat exchanger, the heating perfor- mance will decline. The frost can be removed from the outside heat
exchanger by operating the Remote Air Conditioning System before driv-
ing ( →P. 509). When frosted over, the heating operation of the Remote
Air Conditioning System starts after defrosting.
• When is turned on, the heating is controlled optimally. There- fore, the set heating performance may not be achieved even if the fan
speed setting is increased.
● In the following situations the gasoline engine may operate in order to
exhaust heat from the engine coolant via the heater even in EV mode.
• The outside temperature is extremely low
• is operating
■ 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.
■ Water droplets during air conditioning operation• When the outside heat exchanger is
frosted over, fan speed declines and it
may become harder to heat the inte-
rior. However, it is not a malfunction.
In this situation, the air temperature
from the outlets may not change even
though the set temperature is raised.
The outside heat exchanger, accumulator
and air conditioning piping may incur con-
densation or frost may form. During or
after the air conditioning operation, water
droplets may fall from the vehicle. How-
ever, it is not a malfunction.

Remote Air Conditioning System
If the Remote Air Conditioning Sy stem is used while the charging
cable is connected to the vehicle, the reduction of charge in the hybrid
battery (traction battery) will be s uppressed to allow you to use elec-
tricity from an external power source.
Charging will be conducted automatically after the Remote Air Condition-
ing System is stopped.
Check the temperature setting of the air conditioning system.
( → P. 488, 499)
The Remote Air Conditioning System will operate in accordance with the
temperature settings of the air conditioning system.
Press and hold “A/C” on the wire-
less remote control to operate the
Remote Air Conditioning System.
The system will shut off if a door is
opened.
The system can be stopped by
pressing “A/C” twice.
The Remote Air Conditioning System uses electrical energy
stored in the hybrid battery (traction battery) and allows the air
conditioning to be operat ed by remote control.

tem, the electric fan may spin and an operating noise may be heard. How-
ever, this does not indicate a malfunction.
● The Remote Air Conditioning System may stop operating temporarily if
other features that use electricity (for example, the seat heater, lights, wind-
shield wipers) are in operation or if the charge level of the 12-volt battery
becomes low.

7-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance
■After recharging/reconnect ing the 12-volt battery
● Unlocking the doors using the smart key system may not be possible imme-
diately after reconnecting the 12-volt battery. If this happens, use the wire-
less remote control or the mechanical key to lock/unlock the doors.
● Start the hybrid system with the power switch in ACCESSORY mode. The
hybrid system may not start with the power switch turned off. However, the
hybrid system will operate normally from the second attempt.
● The power switch mode is recorded by the vehicle. If the 12-volt battery is
reconnected, the vehicle will return the power switch mode to the status it
was in before the 12-volt battery was disconnected. Make sure to turn off
the power before disconnect the 12-volt battery. Take extra care when con-
necting the 12-volt battery if the power switch mode prior to discharge is
unknown.
If the system will not start even after multiple attempts at all methods above,
contact your Toyota dealer.
WARNING
■ Chemicals in the 12-volt battery
The 12-volt battery contains poisonous and corrosive sulfuric acid and may
produce hydrogen gas which is flammable and explosive. To reduce the risk
of death or serious injury, take the following precautions while working on or
