Charging starts immediately, even though charge schedule is registered
“Charge Now” is set to “On”
When charging according to the
timer, set “Charge Now” to “Off”.
(P. 171)
Charge schedule is set to “Off”Check that charge schedule is not
set to “Off”. (P. 169)
Charging mode is set to “Departure”
and schedule departure time is
close to current time
When the system determines that
there is no time to finish charging by
the set scheduled departure time, it
starts charging immediately. Check
the charge schedules.
Charging cable was removed and
reinserted while charging indicator
was flashing
If the charging cable is removed and
reinserted while the charging indica-
tor is flashing, the charging timer is
canceled (P. 155). Temporarily
remove the charging cable, and then
reconnect it.
The Remote Air Conditioning Sys-
tem was operated
When the Remote Air Conditioning
System is operated, the system will
start charging immediately, even if
the charge schedule is registered.
To carry out charging using the
timer, stop the Remote Air Condi-
tioning System, and then reconnect
the charging cable.
“Traction Battery Heater” (P. 141)
operated
When the charging mode is set to
“Departure”, “Traction Battery
Heater” may operate before
charging starts. Check the status of
the charging indicator. (P. 117)
Charging ends earlier than time set in “Departure”
Charging end time does not match
estimated end time due to condition
of power source or outside tempera-
tureIf sudden changes in temperature or
changes in the condition of the
power source occur while charging,
charging may end earlier than the
time estimated by the system.

If charging cannot be carried out,
even though the proper procedures
were followed, have the vehicle
inspected by any authorized Toyota
dealer or repairer, or another duly
qualified and equipped professional.
Charging connector was unlocked
while charging
When the charging connector is
unlocked while charging, charging
stops. To continue charging, recon-
nect the charging connector.
If “Charging Complete Limited Due to Battery Temp” is shown
Charging was stopped to protect the
hybrid battery (traction battery) as it
continued to remain hot for a certain
period of time.Allow the hybrid battery (traction
battery) to cool down and perform
charging again if the charging
amount has not reached the desired
amount.

WARNING
■If a safety system warning light does not come on
Should a safety system light such as the ABS and SRS warning light not
come on when you start the hybrid system, this could mean that these sys-
tems are not available to help protect you in an accident, which could result
in death or serious injury. Have the vehicle inspected by any authorized
Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped profes-
sional immediately if this occurs.
NOTICE
■ To prevent damage to the engine and its components
The engine may be overheating if the high coolant temperature warning
light comes on or flashes. In this case, immediately stop the vehicle in a
safe place, and check the engine after it has cooled completely. ( P. 688)

Eco score
The driving status for the following 3 situations are evaluated in 5
levels: Smooth start-off acceleration (“Eco-Start”), driving without
sudden acceleration (“Eco-Cruise”) and smooth stopping (“Eco-
Stop”). Each time the vehicle is stopped, a score result is displayed
out of a perfect score of 100 points.
Score result
“Eco-Start” status
“Eco-Cruise” status
“Eco-Stop” status
How to read the bar display:
*: For items not currently evaluated, the display reads 0.
●The Eco score is reset each time the vehicle starts off to start a new
evaluation.
●When the shift position is P, only the Eco score display area is
enlarged and displayed. When the shift position is shifted from P,
the display returns to normal.
●When the hybrid system stops, the current total score result and
advice on how to increase the score are displayed. (P. 194)

PRIUS PHV_OM_OM47A89E_(EE)■Remaining charge amount warning of hybrid battery (traction battery)
●While driving, when the remaining charge amount of the hybrid battery (trac-
tion battery) drops below a fixed amount, the buzzer sounds intermittently. If
the remaining charge amount drops further, the buzzer sounds continuously.
●When a warning message is shown on the multi-information display and the
buzzer sounds, follow the instructions displayed on the screen to perform
troubleshooting.
■About the Eco score
●After starting off, Eco score display does not start until the vehicle speed
exceeds approximately 20 km/h (12 mph).
●In addition to the vehicle driving status, the Eco score also evaluates the air
conditioning system usage condition (P. 239). The score displayed when
the hybrid system stops is the total result of the driving status after the
hybrid system starts and the air conditioning usage condition.
■“EV Distance” and “EV Energy” display
The rate at which the “EV Distance” and “EV Energy” remaining amount
decreases depends on the driving conditions of the vehicle. Also, the “EV
Distance” and “EV Energy” remaining amount may decrease due to system
power consumption even though the vehicle is not being driven.
