Turning “Charge Now” on and off
If even one charge schedule is registered, charging does not start
until the set time, even if the charging cable is connected to the
vehicle. To start charging immediately without changing the charge
schedule setting, turn “Charge Now” on to temporarily cancel the
charge schedule and enable charging immediate after connecting
the charging cable.
■Changing “Next Charging Event”*1
It is possible to temporarily set the time of the next scheduled
charge without changing the registered repeated setting.
*2
*1: The “Next Charging Event” refers to the closest charge schedule from the
current time among the registered charge schedules. Timer charging is
performed based on the “Next Charging Event”.
*2: When “Next Charging Event” is changed, the current charge schedule will
be temporarily ignored and charging will not be carried out until the time
specified by “Next Charging Event”. (For example, when “Next Charging
Event” is set for 2 days later, even if items are registered on the charge
schedule, charging will not be carried out until the time specified by “Next
Charging Event”.)
■Timer settings
A maximum of 15 charge schedules can be registered.
■To make sure that the charging timer function operates correctly
Check the following items.
●Adjust the clock to the correct time (P. 196)
●Check that the power switch is turned off
●After registering the charge schedule, connect the charging cable
The charging start time is determined based on the charge schedule at the
time that the charging cable was connected.
●After connecting the charging cable, check that the charging indicator
flashes (P. 1 1 7 )
●Do not use a socket that has a power cut off function (including a timer func-
tion)
Use a socket that constantly supplies electricity. For sockets where the
power is cut off due to a timer function, etc., charging may not be carried
out according to plan if the power is cut off during the set time.

WARNING
■When starting the hybrid system
Always start the hybrid system while sitting in the driver’s seat. Do not
depress the accelerator pedal while starting the hybrid system under any
circumstances.
Doing so may cause an accident resulting in death or serious injury.
■ Stopping the hybrid system in an emergency
● If you want to stop the hybrid system in an emergency while driving the
vehicle, press and hold the power switch for more than 2 seconds, or
press it briefly 3 times or more in succession. ( P. 633)
However, do not touch the power switch while driving except in an emer-
gency. Turning the hybrid system off while driving will not cause loss of
steering or braking control, however, power assist to the steering will be
lost. This will make it more difficult to steer smoothly, so you should pull
over and stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so.
● If the power switch is operated while the vehicle is running, a warning
message will be shown on the multi-information display and a buzzer
sounds.
● When restarting the hybrid system after an emergency shutdown while
driving, press the power switch. When restarting the hybrid system after
stopping the vehicle, change the shift position to P and then press the
power switch.
