●When the remaining charge of the
hybrid battery (traction battery)
reaches the lower l imit, the air condi- tioning system automat ically turns off.
In this situation, the air conditioning
system cannot be us ed until the remaining charge of the hybrid battery
(traction battery) increases. Turn the
power switch off and use “My Room Mode” after the remaining charge of
the hybrid battery ( traction battery) is
restored.
●When the outside te mperature is low,
the heater o utput may be limited due
to the air conditioning system opera - tion being restricted.
