Using the charging timer function
When registering the charge schedul e, the following settings can be
changed.
■Select the charging mode
One of the two following charging modes can be selected.
*: There might be a slight error in the timing when charging starts due to the state of the hybrid battery (traction battery).
■
Repeated setting
The periodic timer charging can be set by selecting your desired
day of the week.
■Air conditioning-linked setting (“Climate Prep”)
When the charging mode is set to “D eparture”, the vehicle air condi-
tioning system ( →P. 488, 498) can be set to automatically operate*
according to the set time.
By adjusting the cabin temperature in advance, passengers can enjoy a
pleasant interior immediately after entering the vehicle.
*: Operation starts approximately 10 minutes before the set departure time.
Charging can be carried out at the desired time by registering
the charge schedule. Also, it is possible to set the timer to one’s
preferences, such as having charging complete by a certain
departure time or be carried out at the same time on certain
days.

■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. 185)
● 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. 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-
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.
■ Smartphone-linked op eration (vehicles with 11.6-inch display)
After applying to Entune, it is possible to use the smartphone application to
change charging timer settings.

■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. 509) is operated
● When turning “Charge Now” on ( →P. 156, 165)
● When an operation that temporarily cancel charging using the timer
(→P. 139)
■ Effects of outs ide temperature
When the charging mode is set to “Depar ture”, timer settings may be ignored
due to the outside temperature and charging may start immediately.
■ “Traction Battery Cooler” ( →P. 127)
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 “D eparture”, 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.

● When the charging mode is “Departure”, the current charging is interrupted
or continued depending on the remaining time until the charging is com-
pleted.
● When the charging mode is “Start”, the current charging is interrupted, the
next charging will start at the set time.
■ When the power switch is turned off
*2: When the power switch is turned off, the “Next Charging Event” confirma-
tion screen may be displayed.
It is possible to check the next charge

WARNING
■ Cautions while performing the setting operation
When performing the setting operation while the hybrid system is operated,
ensure that the vehicle is parked in a place with adequate ventilation. In a
closed area such as a garage, exhaust gases including harmful carbon
monoxide (CO) may collect and enter the vehicle. This may lead to death or
a serious health hazard.
NOTICE
■While performing the setting operation
When performing the setting operation while the hybrid system is stopped,
be careful that the 12-volt battery will not be discharged.
