■Capacity reduction of the hybr id 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 condition s 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 unde r 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. 95)
● Leave a low level of charge in the hybrid battery (traction bat tery) 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. 157)
Also, if the hybrid battery (traction battery) capacity reduces , the distance that
can be driven in EV mode decreases. However, vehicle performanc e 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 or der 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 your Toyota dealer.
*: When this occurs, even if the remaining charge display of the hybrid battery
(traction battery) shows that it is fully charged, the remainin g charge rapidly
decreases faster than normal.
■ When the charging amount sent to the hybrid battery (traction battery)
decreases
When the amount of power supplied by the charging equipment is low or
operation of the “Traction Battery Heater”, etc., reduces the c harging power
sent to the hybrid battery (traction battery), the charging amo unt sent to the
hybrid battery (traction battery) may decrease.

■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. 140, 271)
● During charging, the hybrid battery (traction battery) status i ndicator illumi-
nates and flashes, and changes according to the charging amount .
( P. 112)
■ If the charging indicator flashes after connecting the charging cable
The charge schedule ( P. 157) is registered and charging cannot be per-
formed. To cancel charging using the timer and start charging, perform any of
the following procedures.
● Turn “Charge Now” on ( P. 166, 175)
● While the charging indicator is flashing, remove and reconnect the charging

■ Safety function
If the latch release button is pressed, charging will not begin even if the
charging cable is connected.
Also, charging will be stopped if the latch release button is pressed and held
for several seconds during charging. When restarting charging, reinsert the
charging connector after pulling it out, and check that the charging indicator
illuminates.
■ When the outside tempe rature is low or high
The level shown on the remaining charge display ( P. 229) may drop slightly
when the power switch is turned to ON mode, even if charging ha s been com-
pleted and the hybrid battery (traction battery) is fully charg ed. However, this
does not indicate a malfunction.
■ Charging time may increase

■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 with out changing the charge schedule
setting, turn “Charge Now” on to temporarily cancel the charge
schedule and enable charging afte r 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).

■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.
