Control Description

Air Conditioner Control During Charging

VCM allows the air conditioner to be used during charging. In this case, the air conditioner stops when charging is completed.

NOTE: If the Li-ion battery available charge gauge level is lower than Level 2, the A/C does not operate during battery charge.

Timer Air Conditioning Control

When all of the following conditions are satisfied, VCM activates the timer air conditioner so that the room temperature reaches 25°C (77°F) before the scheduled departure time.

Timer air conditioner timer is ON
There is AC power input during charging (or in a state where AC power input is possible).

VCM activates the EV system 2 hours before the scheduled departure time. The A/C auto amp. judges the necessary operating time of timer air conditioner within the range between 0 and 2 hours according to the ambient temperature and interior temperature and sends the data to VCM. VCM calculates and judges the operating time required for activating the timer air conditioner, according to the scheduled departure time and the received data.

NOTE:

When turning ON the power switch during timer air conditioning, the air conditioning control switches to normal.
When timer charge and the timer air conditioner operate simultaneously, VCM distributes power to the air conditioner system and the charge system according to the priority set on the navigation screen.

Remote Air Conditioning Control

When VCM receives the remote air conditioning request signal from the TCU, the air conditioning is operated. Remote air-conditioning operates as follows.

Condition	Operating time (min)
Charge connector is not connected.	15
When connecting EVSE (with AC input)	15 - 120
During quick charge	15 - 120

NOTE: When the power is turned ON during remote air conditioning, the remote air conditioning is ended.
