Accessory Power Socket

NOTICE

Do not insert an automotive type cigarette lighter 
element. This can overheat the power socket.

The accessory power socket is designed to supply 
power for 12-volt DC accessories that are rated 180 
watts (15 amps) or less.

To prevent 12-volt battery drain, only use the power 
socket with the power system on.

When the power socket is not in use, close the cover 
to prevent any small foreign objects from getting into 
the power socket.

AC Power Outlet

*

NOTICE

Do not use the AC power outlet for electric 
appliances that require high initial peak wattage such 
as refrigerators, electric pumps, etc. It is not suitable 
for devices that process precise data, such as medical 
equipment, and that require an extremely stable 
power supply, such as microcomputer-controlled 
electric blankets, touch sensor lamps, etc.

The AC power outlet is designed to supply power for 
up to 230 volt appliances that are rated 1500 watts 
or less.
Continued use of any electric appliance/device 
exceeding these ratings may result in damage to the 
appliance/device.

When the AC power outlet is not in use, close the 
cover to prevent any small foreign objects from 
getting into the AC power outlet.

Refrain from using heat-generating electrical 
equipment or cooking utensils that cannot be 
secured while driving.

You may hear static on the radio depending on the 
electrical equipment in use.

Front Seat Heaters

Do not use the seat heaters even in LO when the 
power system is off. Under such conditions, the 12-
volt battery may be weakened, making it difficult to 
turn the power system on.

After a certain period of time, the strength setting for 
the seat heater will automatically be reduced by one 
level at a time until the seat heater shuts off. The 
elapsed time varies according to the interior 
environment.

When the remote climate pre-conditioning is on, the 
front seat heaters may turn on automatically, 
depending on the ambient temperature.

WARNING

Heat induced burns are possible when 
using seat heaters.

Persons with a diminished ability to sense 
temperature (e.g., persons with diabetes, 
lower-limb nerve damage, or paralysis) or 
with sensitive skin should not use seat 
heaters.

Climate Control System

Using Automatic Climate Control

The automatic climate control system maintains the interior temperature you select. 
The system also selects the proper mix of heated or cooled air that raises or lowers 
the interior temperature to your preference as quickly as possible.

Use the system when the power system is on.

1.

Press the 

AUTO

 button.

2.

Adjust the interior temperature using the temperature control dial.

3.

Press the 

 (ON/OFF) button to cancel.

*1: Left-hand drive types are shown. For the right-hand drive types, these buttons are located 
at the symmetrically opposite to the left-hand drive type.

Using Automatic Climate Control

If any buttons are pressed while using the climate 
control system in auto, the function of the button 
that was pressed will take priority.

The 

AUTO

 indicator will go off, but functions 

unrelated to the button that were pressed will be 
controlled automatically.

To prevent cold air from blowing in from outside, the 
fan may not start immediately when the 

AUTO

 

button is pressed.

If the interior is very warm, you can cool it down 
more rapidly by partially opening the windows, 
turning the system on auto, and setting the 
temperature to low. Change the fresh mode to 
recirculation mode until the temperature cools down.

When you set the temperature to the lower or upper 
limit, 

Lo

 or 

Hi

 is displayed.

Pressing the 

 button switches the climate control 

system between on and off. When turned on, the 
system returns to your last selection.

When the 

 or 

 mode is active, depending on 

conditions like the temperature and the humidity, the 
heater inside the front windscreen may turn on 
automatically.

system. After a certain period of time has 
elapsed, the system shuts off temporarily. 
During this time, the interior of the vehicle 
may heat up or cool down depending on 
ambient temperatures. If a child is left 
inside the vehicle, extreme temperature 
exposure can result in death or serious 
injury of the child.
