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.

78 1-3. Charging
■When leaving the vehicle
To prevent vehicle theft and to increase the efficiency of pre-climate opera-
tion, check that all windows are closed.
■ Amount of time required for charging
The amount of time required to fully charge the traction battery varies
according to a number of factors, such as the amount of charge remaining in
the traction battery, the power source being used, the charge settings, ambi-
ent temperature, battery temperature and so forth.
Only use the following times as a guide to estimate charging time. The esti-
mated times are to fully charge a completely discharged battery in normal
charge mode or extended charge mode.
*
1: Charging time will vary with ambient temperature.
*
2: Toyota supplied charging cable at time of purchase
Because a 240 V power source charges more quickly than a 120 V power
source, Toyota recommends charging at 240 V.
■ Automatic OFF function when th e charging cable is connected
If the charging cable is connected while the EV system is on, the EV system
is automatically turned off.
■ Default charge mode setting
The factory default setting is normal charge mode.
■ Charge mode setting
The charge mode will remain in the last charge mode selected for the next
time charging is performed.

CAUTION
■Precautions for the pre-climate
Do not use pre-climate if people are in the vehicle.
Even when pre-climate is used, the temperature inside the vehicle may
become very high or very low due to features such as the automatic shut-off.
Do not leave children and/or pets inside the vehicle.
●When in the sun, the temperature inside a vehicle with all its windows
closed may rise rapidly, possibly causing heat stroke or dehydration.
● When in cold weather, the temperature inside the vehicle may drop rapidly,
possibly causing hypothermia.
Both of the above cases can lead to a serious health hazard or even deat\
h.
■ Handling the traction battery
No part of the traction battery can be repaired by you or a non-Toyota techni-
cian. Never open the traction battery or perform any modifications to it. If you
find a malfunction with the battery, always contact your Toyota dealer.
■ If the error warning indicator on the CCID (Charging Circuit Interrupt-
ing Device) stays on during charging
Press the reset button on the CCID (Charging Circuit Interrupting Device)
(P. 91). If the error warning indicator does not turn off even when the reset
button is pressed, an electrical leakage may be occurring in the path to the
power source, or there may be a problem with the charging cable or the
charging system. In this event, stop charging immediately, remove the
charging cable and contact your Toyota dealer. An accident may occur or
damage may be inflicted if charging continues.
■ When the charging cable is connected to the vehicle
Do not operate the shift lever.
In the unlikely event that the charging cable has been damaged, the shift
position may change from P to another position and the vehicle could move,
possibly leading to an accident.

104 1-5. Opening, closing and locking the doors
■Battery-saving function
In the following circumstances, the entry function is disabled in order to pre-
vent the 12-volt battery from discharging and the electronic key battery from
depleting.
●When the entry function has not been used for 2 weeks or more.
● When the electronic key has been left within approximately 3 ft. (1 m) of
the vehicle for 10 minutes or more.
The system will resume operation when
● The vehicle is locked using the door handle lock switch when carrying the
electronic key on your person.
● The vehicle is locked/unlocked using the wireless remote control.
( P. 108)
● The vehicle is locked/unlocked using the mechanical key. ( P. 468)
■ Conditions affecting operation
The smart key system uses weak radio waves. In the following situations,
the communication between the electronic key and the vehicle may be
affected, preventing the smart key system and wireless remote control from
operating properly. (Ways of coping: P. 468)
● When the electronic key battery is depleted
● Near a TV tower, electric power plant, gas station, radio station, large dis-
play, airport or other facility that generates strong radio waves or electri-
cal noise
● When carrying a portable radio, ce llular phone, cordless phone or other
wireless communication devices
● When the electronic key is in contact with, or is covered by a metallic
object
● When multiple electronic keys are in the vicinity
● When carrying or using the electronic key together with one or move of
the following devices that emit radio waves
• Another vehicle’s electronic key
• A wireless key that emits radio waves
• Personal computer
● If window tint with a metallic content or metallic objects is attached to the
rear window

■
Note for the entry function
●Even when the electronic key is within the effective range (detection
areas), the system may not operate properly in the following cases.
• The electronic key is too close to the window or outside door handle,
near the ground, or in a high place when the doors are locked or
unlocked.
• The electronic key is on the instrument panel, in the auxiliary box, on the floor or in the glove box when the EV system is started or
“POWER” switch modes are changed.
● Do not leave the electronic key on top of the instrument panel or near the
door pockets when exiting the vehicle. Depending on the radio wave
reception conditions, it may be detected by the antenna outside the cabin
and the door will become lockable from the outside, possibly trapping the
electronic key inside the vehicle.
● As long as the electronic key is within the effective range, the doors may
be locked or unlocked by anyone.
● Even if the electronic key is not inside the vehicle, it may be possible to
start the EV system if the electronic key is near the window.
● The doors may unlock if a large amount of water splashes on the door
handle, such as in the rain or in a car wash. (The doors will automatically
be locked after approximately 60 seconds if the doors are not opened
and closed.)
● Gripping the door handle when wearing a glove may not unlock the door.
● If the wireless remote control is used to lock the doors when the elec-
tronic key is near the vehicle, there is a possibility that the door may not
be unlocked by the entry function. (Use the wireless remote control to
unlock the doors.)
■ When the vehicle is not dr iven for extended periods
To prevent theft of the vehicle, do not leave the electronic key within 6 ft. (2
m) of the vehicle.

Folding the mirrors
Press the switch to fold the mir-
rors.
Press it again to extend them to
the original position.
■Mirror angle can be adjusted when
The “POWER” switch is in ACCESSORY or ON mode.
■ When the mirrors are fogged up
The outside rear view mirrors can be cleared using the mirror defoggers.
Turn on the rear window defogger to turn on the outside rear view mirror
defoggers. ( P. 292)
