BEFORE DRIVING YOUR VEHICLE
The Li-ion battery charging status can be
checked using an internet enabled smart phone
or personal computer at home. You may also
choose to have SMS messages (text messages)
sent to a cellular phone. Additionally, the heater
and air conditioner of the vehicle can be set to
operate using the Climate Ctrl. Timer function or
A/C-heater remote function, if necessary. See
“Remote climate control” in the “4. Ventilators
and climate control systems” section.
NOTE:
. To check the Li-ion battery charging
status or to use the remote heater and
air conditioner using an internet en-
abled smart phone or personal compu-
ter, the following conditions must be
met:
— The vehicle must be located in a
cellular phone or smart phone cov-
erage area.
— The internet enabled cellular phone
or smart phone must be located in a
cellular phone or smart phone cov-
erage area.
— The computer must be connected to
the internet.
— A cellular phone must be used to
communicate with the vehicle.
— A cellular phone capable of text
messaging must be used to receive
text message regarding vehicle
charge status.
. When the remote heater and air condi-
tioner is set, the system operates the
heater and air conditioner to adjust the
in-cabin temperature to a factory pre-
set temperature.
. When the charge connector is discon-
nected from the vehicle, the heater and
air conditioner operates using vehicle
Li-ion battery electric power.
. If the remote heater and air conditioner
function and Li-ion battery charging are
performed at the same time, Li-ion
battery charging will take longer than
usual due to the power used to heat or
cool the vehicle.
