NOTICE
■Using private power generator
Do not use private power generators as a power source for charg ing.
Doing so may make charging unstable, the voltage may be insuffi cient, and
the error warning indicator on the CCID (Charging Circuit Inter rupting
Device) of the charging cable may flash.
■ Usable temperature range
● Do not charge if the outside temperature is -22 F (-30 C) or below, as it is
likely that charging will take longer, and equipment related to charging will
be damaged.
● Do not leave the vehicle or the charging cable in areas where t he outside
temperature is lower than -40 F (-40 C). The vehicle or charging cable will
probably be damaged.
■ Charging equipment
Due to the environment in which the power equipment is located, charging
may be unstable due to noise, the voltage may be insufficient, and the error
warning indicator on the CCID (Charging Circuit Interrupting De vice) of the
charging cable may flash.

Using the charging timer function
When registering the charge schedule, the following settings ca n be
changed.
■Select the charging mode
One of the two following c harging modes can be selected.
*: There might be a slight error in the timing when charging star ts due to the
state of the hybrid battery (traction battery).
■
Repeated setting
The periodic timer charging can be set by selecting your desire d
day of the week.
■Air conditioning-linked s etting (“Climate Prep”)
When the charging mode is set to “Departure”, the vehicle air c ondi-
tioning system ( P. 496, 507) can be set to automatically operate*
according to the set time.
By adjusting the cabin temperature in advance, passengers can e njoy a
pleasant interior immediately after entering the vehicle.
*: Operation starts approximately 10 minutes before the set depar ture 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.

■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
● 11.6-inch display operation (if

■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/.

■ Effects of outside temperature
When the charging mode is set to “Departure”, timer settings ma y be ignored
due to the outside temperature and charging may start immediate ly.
■ “Traction Battery Cooler” ( P. 133)
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 “Departure”, cooling starts ap proximately
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 ope rate.
