●Adjust the clock to the correct time ( →P. 185)
● Check that the power switch is turned off
● After registering the charge schedule, connect the charging cable

flashes ( →P. 106)
● Do not use an outlet that has a power cut off function (including a timer func-
tion)
Use an outlet that constantly supplies electricity. For outlets 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.
■ When the charging cable rema ins 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”
●When the air conditioning-linked setting is turned on, the air conditioning
operates until the set departure time. T herefore, the air conditioning will con-

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.
