● The vehicle is consuming a lot of el ectricity, for example, when the head
light switch is on etc.
● There is a power outage during charging.
● There is an interruption in the electrical supply.
● There is a drop in the voltage of external power source.
● The charge in the 12-volt battery is low, for example due to the vehicle being
left unused for a long period of time.
● The maximum charging current is set to 8A through the “Vehicle Settings”
settings. ( →P. 123)
● When the “Traction Battery Heater” operates.
● When the “Traction Battery Cooler” is operated before charging. ( →P. 127)

■Electronic key battery depletion
●The standard battery life is 1 to 2 years.
● If the battery becomes low, an alarm will sound in the cabin and a message
will be displayed on the multi-information display when the hybrid system
stops.

depleted even if the electronic key is not used. The following symptoms indi-
cate that the electronic key battery may be depleted. Replace the battery
when necessary. ( →P. 627)
• The smart key system or the wireless remote control does not operate.
• The detection area becomes smaller.
• The LED indicator on the key surface does not turn on.
You can replace the battery by yourself ( →P. 627). However, as there is a
danger that the electronic key may be damaged, it is recommended that
replacement is carried out by your Toyota dealer.

(1 m) of the following electrical appliances that produce a magnetic field:
