traction control TOYOTA RAV4 PLUG-IN HYBRID 2022 Owner's Manual

4146-1. Using the air conditioning system and defogger
If the Remote Air Conditioning Sys-
tem is used while the AC charging
cable is connected to the vehicle,
electricity from an external power
source can be used minimizing the
drop in charge of the hybrid battery
(traction battery).
Charging will be conducted automati-
cally after the Remote Air Conditioning
System is stopped.
Check the temperature setting of
the air conditioning system.
(P.406)
The Remote Air Conditioning System
will operate in accordance with the tem-
perature 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 can be stopped by press-
ing “A/C” twice.
QOperating conditions
The system will only operate if all of the
following conditions are met:
OThe shift lever is in P.
OThe power switch is off.
OAll doors are closed.
OThe hood is closed.
QRemote Air Conditioning System
automatic shut-off
The system will automatically shut off
under the following conditions:
OAbout 20 minutes have passed since
operation began
OAny one of the operating conditions is
not met
The system may also shut off if the
charge level of the hybrid battery (trac-
tion battery) drops to low.
QConditions affecting operation
The system may not start in the follow-
ing situations:
OThe charge level of the hybrid battery
(traction battery) is low
Remote Air Conditioning
System
The Remote Air Conditioning
System uses electrical energy
stored in the hybrid battery
(traction battery) and allows
the air conditioning to be oper-
ated by remote control.
Before leaving the vehicle

6-1. Using the air conditioning system and defogger
Interior features
OThe outside temperature is extremely
low
OWhen the hybrid system is cool (for
example, after being left for a long time in low temperatures)
QWindshield defogger
When defogging the windshield using
the Remote Air Conditioning System, defogging may be insufficient due to the power being restricted more than during
normal air conditioning operation. Also, the outside of the windshield may fog up due to the outside temperature, humidity
or air conditioning set temperature.
QUsing the heater via the Remote Air Conditioning System
OWhen the outside temperature is low, heating may feel insufficient due to restricted operation of the air condi-
tioning.
OWhen the outside heat exchanger
becomes frosted over, heating perfor- mance may decline due to automati-cally switching to the frost removal
operation. ( P.406)
QSecurity feature
Any unlocked doors will be automatically locked when the system is operating.
The emergency flashers flash to indicate that the doors have been locked or the system has been turned off.
QConditions affecting operation
 P.222
QWhile the Remote Air Conditioning System is operating
ODepending on the operating condition of the Remote Air Conditioning Sys-tem, the air conditioning compressor
or cooling fan may spin and an operat- ing noise may be heard.However, this does not indicate a mal-
function.
OThe air conditioning operation
switches, etc. will not operate while the Remote Air Conditioning System is operating.
QElectronic key battery depletion
 P.200
QWhen the electronic key battery is fully depleted
 P.486
QCustomization
Setting (e.g. Operation using “A/C” on the wireless remote control) can be changed. (Customizable features:
 P.569)
WARNING
QPrecautions for the Remote Air Conditioning System
ODo not use the system if people are in the vehicle. Even when the system is in use, the
internal temperature may still reach a high or low level due to features such as the automatic shut-off.
Children and pets left inside the vehicle may suffer heatstroke dehy-dration or hypothermia, or could
result in death or serious injury.
ODepending on the surrounding envi-
ronment, signals from the wireless switch may transmit further than expected. Pay appropriate attention
to the vehicle’s surroundings and use the switch only when neces-sary.
ODo not operate “A/C” on the wire-less remote control if the hood is
open. The air conditioning may operate unintentionally and objects may be drawn into the electrical
cooling fan.
NOTICE
QTo prevent the hybrid battery (traction battery) from being dis-charged
Use “A/C” on the wireless remote control only when necessary.
