●The finish time setting mode should only be used as a reference for the
time at which charging will finish.
Charging may not complete at the finish time depending on the effects of
the electricity supply, temperature etc. In this event, charging will continue
until completed.
●If the function detects that charging cannot be finished on time, charging
will start immediately, and will continue until fully charged.

Conditioning System use, the indicator will flash for approximately 10
seconds and then turn off.

The level shown on the remaining charge display (→P. 60) may drop slightly
when the “POWER” switch is turned to ON mode, even if charging has been
completed and the hybrid battery (traction battery) is fully charged. However,
this does not indicate a malfunction.

CAUTION
■Caution regarding interference with electronic devices
●People with implanted pacemakers or cardiac defibrillators should keep
away from the smart key system antennas. (→P. 1 1 1 )
The radio waves may affect the operation of such devices. If necessary,
the entry function can be disabled. Ask your Toyota dealer for details, such
as the frequency of radio waves and timing of emitting the radio waves.
Then, consult your doctor to see if you should disable the entry function.
●Users of any electrical medical device other than implanted pacemakers
and implanted cardiac defibrillators should consult the manufacturer of the
device for information about its operation under the influence of radio
waves.
Radio waves could have unexpected effects on the operation of such
medical devices.
Ask your Toyota dealer for details on disabling the entry function.
On vehicles with the Display Audio system or the navigation system, the
entry function can be disabled personally. (→P. 6 3 9 )
