PRIUS PHV_OM_OM47A89E_(EE)■When the charging cable remains connected to the vehicle
Even if multiple consecutive charge schedules are registered, the next
charge will not be carried out according to the timer until the charging cable is
removed and reconnected after charging completes. Also, when the hybrid
battery (traction battery) is fully charged, charging according to the timer will
not be carried out.
■“Climate Prep” (if equipped)
●When the air conditioning-linked setting is turned on, the air conditioning
operates until the set departure time. Therefore, the air conditioning will con-
sume 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 charge 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 consume electricity
and the remaining charge of the hybrid battery (traction battery) when
departing may be decreased.
■When timer settings are ignored
When the following operations are performed while the charging timer is on
standby, timer charging is temporarily canceled and charging is started imme-
diately.
●When the Remote Air Conditioning System (P. 516) is operated
●When turning “Charge Now” on (P. 171)
●When an operation that temporarily cancel charging using the timer
(P. 155)
■Effects of outside temperature
When the charging mode is set to “Departure”, timer settings may be ignored
due to the outside temperature and charging may start immediately.
■“Traction Battery Cooler” (if equipped) (P. 142)
When charging is carried out using the timer, the hybrid battery (traction bat-
tery) cooling function may operate according to the temperature of the hybrid
battery (traction battery).
●When the charging mode is set to “Start”, cooling starts at the set charging
start time.
●When the charging mode is set to “Departure”, cooling starts approximately
30 minutes before the charging start time. However, if there is no time to fin-
ish charging by the timer setting, the hybrid battery (traction battery) cooling
time may be shortened and “Traction Battery Cooler” may not operate.
