Information related to charging can be displayed and checked on the
vehicle’s multi-information display.
■While charging
When any door is opened
during charging, the current
charging condition and remain-
ing time until charging is com-
plete can be checked.
■After charging is complete
After charging is complete, the
first time that the hybrid system
is started, a message detailing
the results of the charging is
displayed. Also, a message is
displayed if an operation that
cannot be performed or a situa-
tion that charging cannot be
performed occurs during
charging is performed.
When a message is displayed, follow the instructions displayed on the
screen. (P. 192)
■Combination meter display during charging
If approximately 100 seconds elapse after the power switch is turned to ON
mode during charging, the power switch will automatically turn off and the dis-
play will disappear.

PRIUS PHV_OM_OM47C99E_(EE)■Capacity reduction of the hybrid battery (traction battery)
The capacity of the hybrid battery (traction battery) will decline gradually
when the hybrid battery (traction battery) is in use. The rate at which it
declines will differ in accordance with environmental conditions and the way
in which the vehicle is used. Observing the following can help suppress bat-
tery capacity decline.
●Avoid parking the vehicle in areas with a high temperature under direct sun-
light when the hybrid battery (traction battery) is fully charged.
●Avoid accelerating and decelerating frequently and suddenly when EV driv-
ing.
●Avoid frequent driving near the top speed for EV driving. (P. 1 0 6 )
●Leave a low level of charge in the hybrid battery (traction battery) when
leaving the vehicle undriven for a long period of time.
After confirming that EV mode has switched to HV mode, turn the power
switch off.
●Use the charging timer function as much as possible in order to fully charge
the hybrid battery (traction battery) immediately before starting off.
(P. 171)
Also, if the hybrid battery (traction battery) capacity reduces, the distance that
can be driven in EV mode decreases. However, vehicle performance does
not significantly become worse.
■When the remaining charge of the hybrid battery (traction battery) is low
after charging
In the following situations, the remaining charge of the hybrid battery (traction
battery) after charging completes may be less than normal in order to protect
the system (the EV driving range after the battery is fully charged may be
shorter).
*
●Charging is carried out when the outside temperature is low or high
●Charging is carried out immediately after high-load driving or in extreme
heat
When none of the above situations apply and there is a drastic drop in the
remaining charge of the hybrid battery (traction battery) after charging com-
pletes, have the vehicle inspected by any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota
authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
*: When this occurs, even if the remaining charge display of the hybrid battery
(traction battery) shows that it is fully charged, the remaining charge rapidly
decreases faster than normal.

If the charging indicator flashes
after inserting the charging con-
nector:
The charge schedule is regis-
tered (P. 171). Carry an elec-
tronic key and press the
charging connector lock switch
to unlock the charging connec-
tor.
After temporarily removing the charging connector, reinsert it within

Device) flashes during charging, check P. 129 and follow the correction
procedure.
The charging indicator will turn off when charging is completed.
■During charging
●The surface of the CCID (Charging Circuit Interrupting Device) may become
hot, but this does not indicate a malfunction. (When using Mode 2 charging
cable.)
●Depending on radio wave conditions, interference may be heard on the
radio.
●The current charging condition and the estimated time until charging will
complete can be checked on the multi-information display. (P. 154)
●During charging, the hybrid battery (traction battery) status indicator illumi-
nates and flashes, and changes according to the charging amount.
(P. 123)
■If the charging indicator flashes after connecting the charging cable
The charge schedule (P. 171) is registered and charging cannot be per-
formed immediately. To cancel charging using the timer and start charging
immediately, perform any of the following procedures.
●Turn “Charge Now” on (P. 179)
●While the charging indicator is flashing, remove and reconnect the charging
connector within 5 seconds

■ Safety function
Charging will not start when the charging connector is not locked. If the
charging indicator does not illuminate even when the charging connector is
inserted, remove and reinsert the connector, and then check that the charging
indicator illuminates.
■ When the outside temperature is low or high
The level shown on the remaining charge display ( P. 235) may drop slightly
when the power switch is turned to ON mode, even if charging has been com-
pleted and the hybrid battery (traction battery) is fully charged. However, this
does not indicate a malfunction.
■ Charging time may increase
 P. 149
■ While charging
When the power switch is turned to ON mode and the energy monitor dis-
plays, the charging connector is displayed on the energy monitor and the flow
