The power switch is off.

Remote Air Conditioning System automatic shut-off
The system will automatically shut off under the following conditions:
●
About 10 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 (traction
battery) drops to low.
■
Conditions affecting operation
The system may not start in the following situations:
●
The charge level of the hybrid battery (traction battery) is low
●
The outside temperature is extremely low
●
When the hybrid system is cool (for example, after being left for a long time
in low temperatures)
■
Windshield 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.
■
Using the heater via the Remote Air Conditioning System
When the outside heat exchanger becomes frosted over, heating perfor-
mance may decline due to automatically switching to the frost removal opera-
tion.
