■Air conditioning system
Use the air conditioning only when necessary. Doing so can help con-
trol excessive energy consumption. Even when the air conditioning is
on, driving range can be extended by setting it to “ECO LO” or “ECO
HI”, or by turning the A/C off. ( P. 276) If pre-climate (Remote Climate
Control) is operated before departure when the vehicle is plugged in,
depending on air-conditioning specifications, traction battery power
consumption can be reduced. ( P. 53)
Additionally, keep in mind the following during heavy air conditioning
use in summer and winter. In summer: In high temperatures, use the recirculated mode. Doing so
can help control excessive power consumption.
In winter: By combining use with the seat heater, the set temperature
for the heater can be reduced. This can increase power efficiency.
■ Checking tire inflation pressure
Make sure to check the tire inflation pressure frequently. Improper tire
inflation pressure can cause poor power consumption.
Also, as snow tires can cause large amounts of friction, their use on dry
roads can lead to poor power consumption. Use a tire that is appropri-
ate for the season.
■Luggage
Carrying luggage can lead to poor power consumption. Avoid carrying
unnecessary luggage. Installing a roof rack can also cause poor power
consumption.

1-3. Charging
Before driving
Charging and pre-climate (Remote Climate Control) procedures
On the RAV4 EV, setting the charge and pre-climate (Remote Climate
Control) schedule is performed on the navigation system's screen. A
variety of settings are available including charging and pre-climate
operations according to departure ti me. After thoroughly reading the
following instructions, make sure to correctly follow the procedures
when charging your vehicle.
■ Charging and pre-climate (Remote Climate Control)
Depending on the settings of the following functions, this vehicle
does not start charging by simply just plugging in the charging
cable.
Set any of the following functions before or after charging.
SystemDetails
Charging
Charge immediately function
Regardless of the charging schedule settings,
starts charging immediately. ( P. 64)
However, when this function is used, pre-cli-
mate schedule operations cannot be per-
formed simultaneously.
Scheduled charging function
The time when charging is to be completed by
can be set for each day of the week. ( P. 6 6 )
Even when the schedule is set, the charge
immediately function can be selected if the EV
system is off. ( P. 64)
After the immediate charge is complete, the
schedule will be returned to.
If the schedule is not set for any days of the
week, the charge immediately function will be
automatically selected.

54 1-3. Charging
*: 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.

Keys
Using the mechanical keyTo take out the mechanical key,
push the release button and take
the key out.
After using the mechanical key,
store it in the electronic key. Carry
the mechanical key together with
the electronic key. If the electronic
key battery is depleted or the
entry function does not operate
properly, you will need the
mechanical key.
(P. 468)
The following keys are provid ed with the vehicle.
Electronic keys
• Operating the smart key
system ( P. 96)
• Operating the wireless remote control function
( P. 108)
Mechanical keys
Key number plate

Before driving
■
When required to leave a key to th e vehicle with a parking attendant
Lock the glove box as circumstances demand. ( P. 297)
Remove the mechanical key for your own use and provide the attendant with
the electronic key only.
■ Key number plate
Keep the plate in a safe place such as your wallet, not in the vehicle. In the
event that a key is lost, a new key can be made by your Toyota dealer using
the key number plate. ( P. 467)
■ When riding in an aircraft
When bringing a key with wireless remote control function onto an aircra\
ft,
make sure you do not press any buttons on the key while inside the aircraft
cabin. If you are carrying the key in your bag etc, ensure that the buttons are
not likely to be pressed accidentally. Pressing a button may cause the key to
emit radio waves that could interfere with the operation of the aircraft.
NOTICE
■To prevent key damage
●Do not subject the keys to strong shocks, expose them to high tempera-
tures by placing them in direct sunlight, or get them wet.
● Do not expose the keys to electromagnetic materials or attach any mate-
rial that blocks electromagnetic waves to the key surface.
● Do not disassemble the key.
