    If the AC charging cable is con- nected while the “READY” indica- tor is illuminated, the hybrid system will stop automatically and driving will not be possible.

However, the vehicle differs greatly from standard household electrical goods in the following ways, and incorrect usage could cause fire or electric shock, pos- sibly leading to death or serious injury.

    The charging operation is designed to operate at 12A continuously for the charge duration (up to 12 hours). (P.114)
    Charging can be conducted outdoors.

To charge properly, follow the procedure after reading the explanation below. Charging is intended to be carried out by licensed drivers only who prop- erly understand the charging procedure.

    Do not allow children to use

the AC charging cable without supervision. Also, keep the AC charging cable out of reach of infants.

    When charging with a char- ger, follow the procedures for using each charger.
    When charging using a public charging facility, check the setting of the charging sched- ule function.
    When the charging schedule is registered, temporarily turn off the function or turn “Charge Now” on. (P.137, 142)
    When the charging schedule is set to on, charging will not start even if the AC charging cable is connected. Also, charging fee may occur due to connection of the AC charging cable.
    The parking brake is applied. (P.290)
    Lights such as the head- lights, emergency flashers and interior lights etc. are turned off.

If these light switches are turned on, then these features will con- sume electricity, and charging time will increase.

    The power switch is turned to OFF. (P.283)

Inspecting the AC charging cable

Before charging, make sure that each part of the AC charging cable is in good condition. (P.106)

    During charging
    The charging starting time may differ depending on the state of the vehicle, but this does not indi- cate a malfunction.
    Cooling fan sounds may be heard from near the rear seat. (P.91)
    During charging, sounds may be heard from near the hybrid battery (traction battery) in accordance with the operation of the air condi- tioning system or “Battery Cooler” (P.116).
    During and after charging, the rear seat and its surrounding area in which the onboard traction battery charger is installed may get warm.
    The surface of the CCID (Charging Circuit Interrupting Device) may become hot, but this does not indicate a malfunction.
    Depending on radio wave condi- tions, interference may be heard on the radio.
    The current charging condition and the estimated time until charging will complete can be checked on the multi-information display.
    Capacity reduction of the hybrid battery (traction battery)

The capacity of the hybrid battery (traction battery) will decline gradu- ally when the hybrid battery (traction battery) is in use. The rate at which it declines will differ in accordance with environmental conditions and the way in which the vehicle is used. Observing the following can help

suppress battery capacity decline.

    Avoid parking the vehicle in areas with a high temperature under direct sunlight when the hybrid battery (traction battery) is fully charged.
    Avoid accelerating and decelerat- ing frequently and suddenly when EV driving.
    Avoid frequent driving near the top speed for EV driving. (P.82)
    Leave a low level of charge in the hybrid battery (traction battery) when leaving the vehicle undriven for a long period of time.

After confirming that EV mode or AUTO EV/HV mode has switched to HV mode, turn the power switch off.

    Use the charging schedule func- tion as much as possible in order to fully charge the hybrid battery (traction battery) immediately before starting off. (P.130)

Also, if the hybrid battery (traction battery) capacity reduces, the dis- tance that can be driven in EV mode or AUTO EV/HV mode decreases. However, vehicle performance does not significantly become worse.

    When the remaining charge of the hybrid battery (traction bat- tery) is low after charging

In the following situations, the remaining charge of the hybrid bat- tery (traction battery) after charging completes may be less than normal in order to protect the system (the EV driving range after the battery is fully charged may be shorter).*

    Charging is carried out when the outside temperature is low or high.
    Charging is carried out immedi- ately after high-load driving or in extreme heat.

When none of the above situations apply and there is a drastic drop in the remaining charge of the hybrid battery (traction battery) after

charging completes, have the vehi- cle inspected by your Toyota dealer.

*: When this occurs, even if the remaining charge display of the hybrid battery (traction battery) shows that it is fully charged, the remaining charge rapidly decreases faster than normal.

    When the charging amount sent to the hybrid battery (traction battery) decreases

When the amount of power supplied by the charger is low or operation of the “Battery Heater”, etc., reduces the charging power sent to the hybrid battery (traction battery), the charging amount sent to the hybrid battery (traction battery) may decrease.

    Calendar settings

Current date and time information is automatically set using GPS. How- ever, if GPS calibration of clock is turned off in the multimedia system settings, the date needs to be set on the multi-information display.

If the calendar settings check screen is displayed when an attempt was made to register a charge schedule, check that the cor- rect date is set. If it is incorrect, be sure to correct it.

If the calendar information is wrong, the charging schedule function will not operate normally.

    Select the charging mode

One of the two following charging modes can be selected.

“Start”

“Departure”

Starts charging to finish at the set time.*3, 4

When this setting is selected, the air conditioning-linked func- tion can be used.

*1: Charging schedule function is performed in accordance with the clock in the multi-information display. Before registering the charging schedule, check the clock settings to the proper time.

*2: There might be a slight error in the timing when charging starts due to the state of the hybrid bat- tery (traction battery).

*3: When the system determines that there is no time to finish charging by the set scheduled departure time, it starts charging. Check the charging schedules.

*4: If sudden changes in tempera- ture or changes in the condition of the power source occur while charging, charging may not end exactly at the time estimated by the system.

    Repeated setting
    Air conditioning-linked set- ting (“Climate Prep”)

When the charging mode is set to “Departure”, the vehicle air conditioning system (P.396) can be set to automatically oper- ate* according to the set time.

By adjusting the cabin temperature in advance, passengers can enjoy a pleasant interior immediately after entering the vehicle.

*: Operation starts approximately 20 minutes before the set depar- ture time.

    Turning “Charge Now” on and off
    Changing “Next Event”*1

It is possible to temporarily set the time of the next charging schedule without changing the registered repeated setting.*2

*1: The “Next Event” refers to the closest charging schedule from the current time among the regis- tered charging schedules.

Charging schedule is performed based on the “Next Event”.

*2: When “Next Event” is changed, the current charging schedule will be temporarily ignored and charging will not be carried out until the time specified by “Next Event”. (For example, when “Next Event” is set for 2 days later, even if items are registered on the charging schedule, charging will not be carried out until the time specified by “Next Event”.)

    Charging schedule
    The charging schedule cannot be set while driving.
    A maximum of 15 charging sched- ules can be registered.
    To make sure that the charging schedule function operates cor- rectly

Check the following items.

    Adjust the clock to the correct time (P.169)
    The calendar is set to the correct date (P.177)
    Check that the power switch is turned off
    After registering the charging schedule, connect the AC charging cable

The charging start time is deter- mined based on the charging schedule at the time that the AC charging cable was connected.

    After connecting the AC charging cable, check that the charging indicator of the charging port flashes (P.100)
    Do not use an outlet that has a power cut off function (including a timer function)

Use an outlet that constantly sup- plies electricity. For outlets where the power is cut off due to a timer function, etc., charging may not be carried out according to plan if the power is cut off during the set time.

    When the AC charging cable remains connected to the vehi- cle

Even if multiple consecutive charging schedules are registered, the next charge will not be carried out according to the charging schedule until the AC charging cable is removed and reconnected after charging completes. Also, when the hybrid battery (traction battery) is fully charged, charging according to the charging schedule will not be carried out.

    “Climate Prep”
    When the air conditioning-linked setting is turned on, the air condi- tioning operates until the set

departure time. Therefore, the air conditioning will consume electric- ity and charging may not complete by the set departure time.

    If the hybrid battery (traction bat- tery) is fully charged, charging will not be carried out, even if the charging schedule is set. How- ever, if “Climate Prep” is turned on, the air conditioning will oper- ate only once when it nears the time set in “Departure”. If this occurs, the air conditioning will consume electricity and the remaining charge of the hybrid battery (traction battery) when departing may be decreased.
    When the doors are unlocked, the air conditioning system does not operate.

“Charge Now” is set to on

When charging according to the charging schedule, set “Charge Now” to off. (P.137, 142)

Charging schedule is set to off

Check that charging schedule is not set to off. (P.135, 136)

Charging mode is set to “Departure” and schedule departure time is close to current time

When the system determines that there is no time to finish charging by the set scheduled departure time, it starts charging. Check the charging schedules.

Likely cause

Correction procedure

AC charging cable was removed and reinserted while charging indicator of the charging port was flashing

If the AC charging cable is removed and reinserted while the charging indicator is flashing, the charging schedule is canceled (P.125).

Temporarily remove the AC charging cable, and then reconnect it.

The Remote Air Conditioning Sys- tem was operated

When the Remote Air Conditioning System is operated, the system will start charging, even if the charging schedule is registered. To carry out charging using the charging sched- ule, stop the Remote Air Condition- ing System, and then reconnect the AC charging cable.

“Battery Heater” (P.115) operated

When the charging mode is set to “Departure”, “Battery Heater” may operate before charging starts.

Check the status of the charging indicator of the charging port. (P.100)

Outside temperature is low and hybrid battery (traction battery) warming control (P.116) operated (Alaska and Canada only)

When hybrid battery (traction bat- tery) warming control operates, the charging schedules are ignored and charging starts. In order to protect the hybrid battery (traction battery), allow charging to continue.

    Charging ends earlier than time set in “Departure”

Likely cause

Correction procedure

Charging end time does not match estimated end time due to condition of power source or outside tempera- ture

If sudden changes in temperature or changes in the condition of the power source occur while charging, charging may end earlier than the time estimated by the system.

    Charging is not complete, even though it is time set in “Departure”

Likely cause

Correction procedure

“Climate Prep” is set to on

When “Climate Prep” is set to on, the air conditioning operates until the set departure time.

Therefore, charging may not com- plete by the set time due to charging conditions.

To have the hybrid battery (traction battery) fully charged, allow charging to continue.

Charging end time does not match estimated end time due to condition of power source or outside tempera- ture

If sudden changes in temperature or changes in the condition of the power source occur while charging, charging may not end exactly at the time estimated by the system.

    Charging does not start, even though it is time set in “Start”

Likely cause

Correction procedure

AC charging cable was connected after set time

Connect the AC charging cable before the time set in “Start”.

When this occurs, follow the instructions displayed on the screen.

    If “Charging Stopped Due to Pulled Charging Connector” is shown

Likely cause

Correction procedure

Charging connector is removed while charging

When the charging connector is removed while charging, charging stops. If you want to fully charge the hybrid battery (traction battery), reconnect the charging connector.

After the hybrid battery (traction bat- tery) is fully charged, the charging connector is removed while the hybrid battery (traction battery) is being recharged again because electricity-consuming functions* have been used and the remaining charge is now reduced.

Charging connector is not securely connected

Check the connection status of the charging connector.

    When connecting the charging connector, make sure not to touch the latch release button. Insert the charging connector securely until you hear a click. The charging con- nector may not be connected cor- rectly if the latch release button is pressed while inserting.
    After connecting the charging con- nector, check that the latch release button is not pressed and the charging indicator of the charging port is turned on.

If charging cannot be carried out, even though the proper procedures were followed, have the vehicle inspected by your Toyota dealer.

Latch release button of charging connector was pressed while charging

When the latch release button is pressed while charging, charging stops. To continue charging, recon- nect the charging connector.

*: Electricity is consumed when operating “Battery Heater” (P.115), the air conditioning-linked function (P.131) or Remote Air Conditioning System (P.405).

    If “Charging Complete Limited Due to Battery Temp” is shown

Likely cause

Correction procedure

Charging was stopped to protect the hybrid battery (traction battery) as it continued to remain hot for a certain period of time.

Allow the hybrid battery (traction bat- tery) to cool down and perform charging again if the charging amount has not reached the desired amount.

    If “Charging Stopped Check Charging Source” is shown (1)

Likely cause

Correction procedure

Problem in power supply from exter- nal power source

Check the following items.

    Plug is not disconnected
    Power source indicator on the CCID (Charging Circuit Interrupting Device) is illuminated
    The circuit breaker has tripped

If there is no problem with any of the above items, there may be a prob- lem with the outlet of the building.

Contact an electrician and request an inspection. (Contact the facility manager of the charging station when there is a problem with charging station.)

If charging cannot be carried out, even though there is no problem with the power source path, there may be a malfunction in the system. Have the vehicle inspected by your Toyota dealer.

Furthermore, if the error warning indicator on the CCID (Charging Cir- cuit Interrupting Device) is flashing, there may be an electrical leakage. Consult your Toyota dealer.

Likely cause

Correction procedure

Charger has stopped charging

Charging may be canceled by an interruption of power supply depend- ing on specifications of a charger.

Refer to the instructions provided with the charger.

    When charging is stopped using the charger
    Equipment with charging schedule function
    Equipment that is not compatible with the charging schedule func- tion of the vehicle

Check if it is possible to charge with the AC charging cable equipped to the vehicle.

If charging cannot be carried out, even when using the genuine AC charging cable, consult your Toyota dealer.

    If “Charging Stopped Check Charging Source” is shown (2)

Likely cause

Correction procedure

Charger is not compatible with vehi- cle

Check if it is possible to charge with the AC charging cable equipped to the vehicle.
