*: By using a smart phone, pre-climate operations and so forth can
be performed from a distant location. ( P. 58)
■ Important things to check be fore charging and pre-climate
operations (Remote Climate Control)
Before charging and pre-climate operations, always check that:
● The parking brake is securely set ( P. 216)
● The shift position is in P ( P. 206)
● All windows and doors are closed
● The motor compartment hood is securely closed
If the hood is open the electric cooling fans will not operate, raising
the temperature of the charger and traction battery. This may
increase charging time or cause charging to be aborted.
●All lights are turned off (For example, the headlights, emer-
gency flashers, interior lights, etc.)
If any lights are turned on, then these features will consume electric-
ity, and charging time will increase.
SystemDetails
Pre-climate
(Remote Climate
Control)*
The time when pre-climate operations are to be
completed by can be set for each day of the
week. Cabin temperature is adjusted before depar-
ture by performing climate control operations,
thereby reducing traction battery consumption
after departure. If these operations are per-
formed while the vehicle is plugged in, the
traction battery's power consumption is
reduced, increasing driving range. ( P. 66)
If the amount of charge remaining in the trac-
tion battery is 50% or less at the time pre-cli-
mate operations begin, pre-climate operations
will not be performed in order to preserve driv-
ing range.

62 1-3. Charging
Confirm the charging cable con-
nector’s direction and insert it
into the charging port.
When inserting the connector,
insert it without pressing the latch
release button.
Align with the guide position
shown on the underside of the
charging connector with the
charging port, and push it in
straight and firmly until a click is
heard. Then, confirm that the con-
nector is securely locked.
When plugging in has been com-
pleted correctly, the plug-in indi-
cator on the meter comes on in
green. If there has been a prob-
lem with plugging in, the plug-in
indicator comes on in yellow.
(P. 419)
If the schedule is not set for any
days of the week or the charge
immediately function is selected,
charging will begin by simply
plugging in the charging cable.
If the EV system is on when the
vehicle is plugged in, the READY
indicator will automatically turn off
and a message will be shown on
the multi-information display.

CAUTION
■Operating the back door
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause parts of the body to be caught, resulting in death
or serious injury.
●When opening or closing the back door, thoroughly check to make sure
the surrounding area is safe.
● If anyone is in the vicinity, make sure they are safe and let them know that
the back door is about to open or close.
● Use caution when opening or closing the back door in windy weather as it
may move abruptly in strong wind.
● Do not attach any accessories other than genuine Toyota parts to the back
door. Such additional weight on the back door may interfere with the safety
opening and closing operation of the back door.
● If the open back door hides the stop, tail, rear side marker or rear turn sig-
nal lights while you are parked, other road users must be warned of the
presence of your vehicle by a warning triangle or other device.
●The back door may close if it is not
opened fully. It is more difficult to open
or close the back door on an incline
than on a level surface, so beware of
the back door unexpectedly opening or
closing by itself. Make sure that the
back door is fully open and secure
before using the luggage compartment.
● When closing the back door, take extra
care to prevent your fingers etc. from
being caught.
● When closing the back door, make sure
to press it lightly on its outer surface.

● Stop the vehicle on level ground, set the parking brake and shift the shift
position to P.
● Do not fold the rear seatback when passengers sit or luggage is placed on
the seat.
● Do not allow passengers to ride on the folded seat or in the luggage com-
partment while driving.
● Make sure that no passengers or luggage are on the rear seats.
● Make sure the seatback is securely locked by pushing forward and rear-
ward on the top of the seatback.
● Do not allow anyone to sit on a folded seatback or in the luggage compart-
ment while driving.
● Do not allow children to enter the luggage compartment.
