Full charge has priority
If “Full charge has priority” is turned on, the
charge start timer will be advanced if the
fully charged condition of the Li-ion battery
cannot be achieved during the start time
to end time interval. If the fully charged
battery condition cannot be achieved, the
charge continues until the battery is fully
charged.
NOTE:
If “Full charge has priority ” is turned on, it
is possible that the battery is not
charged fully by the charge end time due
to the operating condition of Climate
Ctrl. Timer and the tolerance of charging
time, etc. In that case, the charging con-
tinues until the Li-ion battery is fully
charged.
TIMER DISPLAY
The timer display appears for approxi-
mately 30 seconds when the power switch
is placed in the OFF position.
O1Charging time
The estimated time of charging the Li-ion
battery (start time and end time) is dis-
played.
• When the charging timer is set, the charg- ing system calculates the estimated time
to charge the Li-ion battery based on the
electrical power supplied in the last
charging using the timer, and the start
time and end time are displayed.

• The estimated time may be recalculateddepending on the actual electrical power
af ter the charge cable is connected. Al-
though the estimated time may be differ-
ent from the time that was displayed
when the power switch was placed in the
OFF position, this is not a malfunction.
• When the charging timer is set to OFF, the estimated end time to charge the Li-ion
battery to a full level in the case of per-
forming the immediate charge. The end
time is calculated based on the electrical
power selected in the “Charge Time

longer than 24 hours, “Over 24h” is dis-
played.
• When the charging is set to start imme- diately af ter connecting the charge con-
nector to the vehicle, the start time is
displayed as “Charge Now”.
• While being charged, the time when the charging has actually started is displayed
as the start time. The end time is dis-
played according to the estimated
charging time that was calculated based
on the electrical power being supplied.
• For models with Li-ion battery warmer, the charging system calculates the elec-
trical power used by the battery warmer
when the Li-ion battery temperature is
low, and longer charging time will be dis-
played.
