■Timer settings
●The charge schedule cannot be set while driving.
● 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. 197)
● The calendar is set to the correct date ( P. 199)
● 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. 114)
● 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/.
