cient 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 tem-
perature.
■Using the heater via the Remote
Air Conditioning System
●When the outside temperature is
low, heating may feel insufficient
due to restricted operation of the
air conditioning.
●When the outside heat exchanger
becomes frosted over, heating
performance may decline due to
automatically switching to the frost
removal operation. ( P.424)
■Security feature
Any unlocked doors will be automat-
ically locked when the system is
operating. The buzzer sounds and
the emergency flashers flash to indi-
cate that the doors have been
locked or the system has been
turned off.
■Conditions affecting operation
 P.243
■While the Remote Air Condi-
tioning System is operating
●Depending on the operating con-
dition of the Remote Air Condition-
ing System, the air conditioning
compressor or cooling fan may
spin and an operating noise may
be heard. However, this does not
indicate a malfunction.
●The air conditioning operation
switches, etc. will not operate
while the Remote Air Condition-
ing System is operating.
■Electronic key battery depletion
 P.218
■When the electronic key bat-
tery is fully depleted

WARNING
■Precautions for the Remote
Air Conditioning System
●Do 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 dehydration or
hypothermia or could result in
death or serious injury.
●Depending on the surrounding
environment, signals from the
wireless switch may transmit
further than e xpected. Pay
appropriate attention to the
vehicle’s surroundings and use
the switch only when neces-
sary.
●Do not operate “A/C” on the
wireless remote control if the
hood is open. The Remote Air
Conditioning System may oper-
ate unintentionally and objects
may be drawn into the electrical
cooling fan.
NOTICE
■To prevent the hybrid battery
(traction battery) from being
discharged

●Qi standard wireless charge stan-
dard can be used on compatible
devices. However, not all Qi stan-
dard devices and compatibility are
guaranteed.
●Starting with mobile phones and
smartphones, it is aimed for low
power electrically supplied porta-
ble devices of no more than 5W.
●However, charging exceeding 5 W
is supported by the following por-
table devices.
• Charging at 7.5 W or less is sup-
ported by iPhone’s that support
7.5 W charging.
• Charging at 10 W or less is sup-
ported by portable devices compli-

cover and accessories not able to
handle Qi are attached to the porta-
ble device. Depending on the type
of cover (including the certain genu-
ine manufacture parts) and acces-
sory, it may not be possible to
charge. When charging is not per-
formed even with the portable
device placed on the charge area,
remove the cover and accessories.
