3-1. Using the air conditioning system and defogger
■Operating conditions
The Solar Ventilation System may not operate under the following circum- stances due to a lack of power from the solar panel: ●Low amount of sunlight ●Ever when a part of the solar panel is cast by a shadow. ●Ever when a part of the solar panel is covered by fallen leaves or dirt. ●The solar panel is not at a high temperature. ■Before using the Solar Ventilation System
Remove dirt or fallen leaves from the solar panel in order to ensure sufficient electrical output.
■Efficient use of the Solar Ventilation System
Efficient control of temperature increase can be achieved by using the sys- tem in conjunction with the Remote Air Conditioning System. (P. 348)
■When using the Solar Ventilation System
●Make sure that the “POWER” switch is in ON mode when turning the ventilation switch on. If the ventilation switch is turned on while the “POWER” switch is OFF, the air mode and the status of the air vents will remain unchanged.
●If the Solar Ventilation System is not needed, be sure to turn the ventila-
tion switch off. Dirty air and exhaust fumes from other vehicles may be drawn from out- side. Also, use in winter may cause heated interior air to leave the vehi- cle, thus leading to a drop in temperature.
■Sounds when using the Solar Ventilation System
If the amount of sunlight is insufficient, you may hear a sound coming from the air conditioning system. This is the sound of a control function to pre- serve the fan and does not indicate a malfunction.

CAUTION
■Solar Ventilation System precautions
●Do not use the system if people are inside the vehicle.
The Solar Ventilation System is not intended to ensure the performance of the air conditioning system. Do not leave children or pets in the vehicle. The temperature of the interior will remain high, possibly resulting in heat- stroke, dehydration, or even death.
●This system should be used only for the relief of discomfort when entering
the vehicle, and should not be used for other purposes.

3-1. Using the air conditioning system and defogger 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 operated by remote control. ■ Before leaving the vehicle
Check the temperature setting of the air conditioning system. The Remote Air Conditioning System will operate in accordance with the temperature settings of the air conditioning system. ■ Activating the Remote Air Conditioning System
Press and hold the to operate the Remote Air Condi- tioning System.
The system will shut off if a door is opened. The system can be stopped by
pressing the
twice.
■Operating conditions
The system will only operate if all of the following conditions are met: ●The shift position is in P. ●The “POWER” switch is OFF. ●All doors are closed. ●The hood is closed. ●The brake pedal is not being depressed. ●The air conditioning is not set to “HI”.

■Using the Remote Air Conditioning System effectively
Efficiency can be increased by using the system in conjunction with the Solar Ventilation System. (P. 345)
■When leaving the vehicle
●Check that the headlights are switched to either off or “AUTO”. ●Check that the wiper switch is turned off. ●Check that all windows are closed.
■Remote Air Conditioning System automatic shut-off
The system will automatically shut off under the following conditions: ●About 3 minutes have passed since operation began ●Any 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. (P. 44)
■Conditions affecting operation
The system may not start in the following situations: ●The charge level of the hybrid battery (traction battery) is low (P. 44) ●The air conditioning temperature is set at a high level or outside tempera-
ture is low
●When the vehicle has been left parked for a number of days ●When the hybrid system is cool (for example, after being left for a long
time in low temperatures)

CAUTION
■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 level due to features such as the automatic shut-off. Chil- dren and pets left inside the vehicle may suffer heatstroke or dehydra- tion, or could result in death or serious injury.
• The wipers can be operated during system operation. Children or pets left inside the vehicle may mistakenly operate these and cause an acci- dent.
●Depending on the surrounding environment, signals from the wireless switch may transmit further than expected. Pay appropriate attention to the vehicle’s surroundings and use the switch only when necessary.
●Turn the wipers off. If the Remote Air Conditioning System operates while the wiper switch is in the on position, the wipers may operate and objects may get caught in the wiper blades.
●Do not operate the
if the hood is open. The air conditioning may operate unintentionally and objects may be drawn into the electrical cool- ing fan.

CAUTION
Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that neces- sary for successful communication. Conformément à la réglementation d’Industrie Canada, le présent émetteur radio peut fonctionner avec une antenne d’un type et d’un gain maximal (ou inférieur) approuvé pour l’émetteur par Industrie Canada.

■ Automatic Collision Notification
In case of either airbag deployment or severe rear-end collision, the system is designed to automatically call the response center. The responding agent receives the vehicle’s location and attempts to speak with the vehicle occupants to assess the level of emer- gency. If the occupants are unable to communicate, the agent automatically treats the call as an emergency, contacts the nearest emergency services provider to describe the situation, and requests that assistance be sent to the location.

Safety information for Safety Connect
Important! Read this information before using Safety Connect. ■ Exposure to radio frequency signals
The Safety Connect system installed in your vehicle is a low-power radio transmitter and receiver. It receives and also sends out radio frequency (RF) signals. In August 1996, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) adopted RF exposure guidelines with safety levels for mobile wire- less phones. Those guidelines are consistent with the safety stan- dards previously set by the following U.S. and international standards bodies. ● ANSI (American National Standards Institute) C95.1 [1992] ● NCRP (National Council on Radiation Protection and Measure-
ment) Report 86 [1986]
● ICNIRP (International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation
Protection) [1996]
Those standards were based on comprehensive and periodic eval- uations of the relevant scientific literature. Over 120 scientists, engineers, and physicians from universities, and government health agencies and industries reviewed the available body of research to develop the ANSI Standard (C95.1). The design of Safety Connect complies with the FCC guidelines in addition to those standards.
