Heating
●
Heating is done by an electric heat pump system.
●
When the outside temperature is low or it is snowing, compared to conven-
tional vehicles, heating may be less effective and warm air may not come
out.
●
When outside condenser is cold, condensed water from the condenser’s
surface may fall under the vehicle. However, it is not a malfunction.
●
When the outside condenser is frosted over, the temperature display blinks,
fan speed declines and it may become harder to heat the interior. However,
it is not a malfunction.
■
How to defrost the outside condenser
If frost has formed of the outside condenser (

P. 277), the heating perfor-
mance will decline. The frost can be removed from the outside condenser by
either one of the following procedures.
●
Operate the Remote Climate Control before driving. (

P. 228)
When frosted over, the heating operation starts after defrosting.
●
Press and hold for approximately 2 seconds or more while the vehicle
is stopped to defrost. It will be canceled when the vehicle begins to move.
■
Using automatic mode
Fan speed is adjusted automatically according to the temperature setting and
the ambient conditions.
Therefore, the fan may stop for a while until warm or cool air is ready to flow
immediately after is pressed.
■
“MAX” mode
●
For quick warming or cooling, press .
Simultaneous use together with automatic mode will be more effective.
●
When “MAX” mode is used, traction battery consumption is greater than
usual and the driving range decreases.
●
If the amount of the remaining traction battery power is low, the “MAX” mode
operation may be limited.
●
If the power switch is turned off while “MAX” mode is active, even if the
power switch is turned to ON mode again, “MAX” mode will remain off.
