dows.
Press the windshield defogger
switch.
Set the outside/recirculated air
mode switch to outside air mode if
t h e r e c i r c u l a t e d a i r m o d e i s u s e d . ( I t

■Heating
●In HV mode, the gasoline engine
may operate in order to extract
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
conventional vehicles, heating
may be less effective and warm
air may not come out.
• When the outside heat exchanger is frosted over, fan speed declines
and it may become harder to heat
the interior.
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.
• If frost has formed of the outside heat exchanger, the heating per-
formance will decline. The frost
can be removed from the outside
heat exchanger by operating the
Remote Air Conditioning System
before driving ( P.431). When
frosted over, the heating operation
of the Remote Air Conditioning
System starts after defrosting.
• When “AUTO” switch is turned on,
the heating is controlled opti-
mally. Therefore, the set heating
performance may not be achieved
even if the fan speed setting is
increased.

Maintenance and care
The 12-volt battery is located in
the right-hand side of luggage
compartment.
■Before recharging
When recharging, the 12-volt bat-
tery produces hydrogen gas which
is flammable and explosive. There-
fore, observe the following precau-
tions before recharging:
●If recharging with the 12-volt bat-
tery installed on the vehicle, be
sure to disconnect the ground
cable.

cables to the 12-volt battery.
■After recharging/reconnecting
the 12-volt battery
●Unlocking the doors using the
smart key system may not be pos-
sible immediately after reconnect-
ing the 12-volt battery. If this
happens, use the wireless remote
control or the mechanical key to
lock/unlock the doors.
●Start the hybrid system with the
power switch in ACC. The hybrid
system may not start with the
power switch turned off. How-
ever, the hybrid system will oper-
ate 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 1
2-volt battery was dis-
connected. Make sure to turn off
the power switch before discon-
nect the 12-volt battery. Take
extra care when connecting the
