each part of the AC charging cable
is in good condition. (P.117)
■During charging
●The charging starting time may differ
depending on the state of the vehicle,
but this does not indicate a malfunc-
tion.
●Cooling fan sounds may be heard
from near the rear seat. (P.98)
●During charging, sounds may be
heard from near the hybrid battery
(traction battery) in accordance with
the operation of the air conditioning
system or “Battery Cooler” (P.129).
●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. (When using Mode 2
AC charging cable.)
●Depending on radio wave conditions,
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 (trac-
tion battery) will decline gradually when
the hybrid battery (traction battery) is in
use. The rate at which it declines will dif-
fer 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 sun-
light when the hybrid battery (traction
battery) is fully charged.
●Avoid accelerating and decelerating frequently and suddenly when EV
driving.
●Avoid frequent driving near the top
speed for EV driving. (P.90)
●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 function as
much as possible in order to fully
charge the hybrid battery (traction bat-
tery) immediately before starting off.
(P.144)
Also, if the hybrid battery (traction bat-
tery) capacity reduces, the distance that
can be driven in EV mode or AUTO
EV/HV mode decreases. However, vehi-
cle performance does not significantly
become worse.
■When the remaining charge of the
hybrid battery (traction battery) is
low after charging
In the following situations, the remaining
charge of the hybrid battery (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 out-
side temperature is low or high.
●Charging is carried out immediately
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 com-
pletes, have the vehicle inspected by
any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota
authorized repairer, or any reliable
repairer.
*: When this occurs, even if the remain-
ing charge display of the hybrid bat-
tery (traction battery) shows that it is

1462-2. Charging
connected.
●After connecting the AC charging
cable, check that the charging indica-
tor of the charging port flashes
(P.106)
●Do not use an socket that has a power
cut off function (including a timer func-
tion)
Use an socket that constantly supplies
electricity. For sockets where the
power is cut off due to a timer func-
tion, 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 vehicle
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 recon-
nected 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 set-
ting is turned on, the air conditioning
operates until the set departure time.
Therefore, the air conditioning will
consume electricity and charging may
not complete by the set departure
time.
●If the hybrid battery (traction battery)
is fully charged, charging will not be
carried out, even if the charging
schedule is set. However, if “Climate
Prep” is turned on, the air conditioning
will operate only once when it nears
the time set in “Departure”. If this
occurs, the air conditioning will con-
sume 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.
■When charging schedules are
ignored
When the following operations are per-
formed while the charging schedule is
on standby, charging schedule is tempo-
rarily canceled and charging is started.
●When the Remote Air Conditioning
System (P.460) is operated
●When turning “My Room Mode” on
(P.153)
●When turning “Charge Now” on
(P.150)
●When an operation that temporarily
cancel charging using the charging
schedule (P.138)
■Effects of outside temperature
When the charging mode is set to
“Departure”, charging schedule may be
ignored due to the outside temperature
and charging may start.
■“Battery Heater” (P.128) /“Battery
Cooler” (P.129)
When charging is carried out using the
charging schedule, the hybrid battery
(traction battery) heating or cooling func-
tion may operate according to the tem-
perature of the hybrid battery (traction
battery).
●When the charging mode is set to
“Start”, the function starts at the set
charging start time.
●“Battery Heater”: When the charging
mode is set to “Departure”, the func-
tion starts automatically to complete
heating by the desired departure time.
●“Battery Cooler”: When the charging
mode is set to “Departure”, cooling
starts approximately 30 minutes
before the charging start time. How-
ever, if there is no time to finish
charging by the charging schedule,
the hybrid battery (traction battery)
cooling time may be shortened and
“Battery Cooler” may not operate.
