● The parking brake is applied. ( P. 345)
● The headlights are switched off or set to AUTO, and lights such as
the emergency flashers and interi or lights etc. are switched off.
If these light switches are turned ON, then these features will consume
electricity, and charging time will increase.
●The power switch is off. ( P. 3 3 2 )
Before charging, make sure that each part of the charging cable is in
good condition. ( P. 11 8 )
■Safety functions
●The hybrid system will not start while the charging cable is at tached to the
vehicle, even if the power switch is operated.
● If the charging cable is connected while the “READY” indicator is illumi-
nated, the hybrid system will stop automatically and driving wi ll not be possi-
ble.
● When the charging cable is connected to the vehicle, the shift position can-
not be changed from P to another position.

■During charging
●The surface of the CCID (Charging Circuit Interrupting Device) may become
hot, but this does not indicate a malfunction.
● Depending on radio wave conditions, interference may be heard o n the
radio.
● The current charging condition and the estimated time until cha rging will
complete can be checked on the multi-information display or 11. 6-inch dis-
play (if equipped). ( P. 137)
● During charging, the hybrid battery (traction battery) status i ndicator illumi-
nates and flashes, and changes according to the charging amount .
( P. 110)

■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 cha rge
schedule setting, turn “Charge Now” on to temporarily cancel th e
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 schedule d
charge without changing the r egistered repeated setting.
*2
*1: The “Next Charging Event” refers to the closest charge schedul e 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 sche dule will
be temporarily ignored and charging will not be carried out unt il the time
specified by “Next Charging Event”. (For example, when “Next Ch arging
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 speci fied by “Next
Charging Event”.)
The charge schedule can be reg-
istered on the multi-information
display or 11.6-inch display (if
equipped).
● Multi-information display opera-
tion: P. 158

■Timer settings
A maximum of 15 charge schedules can be registered.
■ To make sure that the charging timer function operates correctl y
Check the following items.
● Adjust the clock to the correct time ( P. 193)
● The calendar is set to the correct date ( P. 194)
● 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 sched ule at the
time that the charging cable was connected.
● After connecting the charging cable, check that the charging indicator
flashes ( P. 112)
● 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 no t be carried
out according to plan if the power is cut off during the set ti me.
■ When the charging cable remains connected to the vehicle
Even if multiple consecutive charge schedules are registered, t he next
charge will not be carried out according to the timer until the charging cable is
removed and reconnected after charging completes. Also, when th e 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. Therefore, the air condi tioning will con-
sume electricity and charging may not complete by the set depar ture time.
● If the hybrid battery (traction battery) is fully charged, char ging 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 c onsume electricity
and the remaining charge of the hybrid battery (traction batter y) when
departing may be decreased.
■ Smartphone-linked operation (vehicles with 11.6-inch display)
After applying to Entune, it is possible to use the smartphone application to
change charging timer settings.
For details about Entune, refer to http://www.toyota.com/entune/.
