Using the charging schedule function
When registering the charge schedule, the following settings can be
changed.
■Select the charging mode
One of the two following charging modes can be selected.
*1: Charging schedule function is performed in accordance with the clock in
the instrument cluster. Before registering the charge schedule, check the
clock settings to the proper time.
*2: There might be a slight error in the timing when charging starts due to the
state of the hybrid battery (traction battery).
■
Repeated setting
The periodic charging schedule can be set by selecting your
desired day of the week.
■Air conditioning-linked setting (“Climate Prep”) (if equipped)
When the charging mode is set to “Departure”, the vehicle air condi-
tioning system (P. 572) can be set to automatically operate
*
according to the set time.
By adjusting the cabin temperature in advance, passengers can enjoy a
pleasant interior immediately after entering the vehicle.
*: Operation starts approximately 10 minutes before the set departure time.
Charging can be carried out at the desired time by registering
the charge schedule. Also, it is possible to set the charging
schedule to one’s preferences, such as having charging com-
plete 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 without changing the charge schedule
setting, turn “Charge Now” on to temporarily cancel the charge
schedule and enable charging after connecting the charging cable.
■Changing “Next Charging Event”*1
It is possible to temporarily set the time of the next scheduled
charge without changing the registered repeated setting.
*2
*1: The “Next Charging Event” refers to the closest charge schedule from the
current time among the registered charge schedules. Charging schedule is
performed based on the “Next Charging Event”.
*2: When “Next Charging Event” is changed, the current charge schedule will
be temporarily ignored and charging will not be carried out until the time
specified by “Next Charging Event”. (For example, when “Next Charging
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 specified by “Next
Charging Event”.)
■Charging schedule
●The charge schedule cannot be set while driving.
●A maximum of 15 charge schedules can be registered.
■To make sure that the charging schedule function operates correctly
Check the following items.
●Adjust the clock to the correct time (P. 210)
●The calendar is set to the correct date (P. 212)
●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 schedule at the

●After connecting the charging cable, check that the charging indicator
flashes (P. 125)
●Do not use a socket that has a power cut off function (including a timer func-
tion)
Use a socket that constantly supplies electricity. For sockets where the
power is cut off due to a timer function, etc., charging may not be carried
out according to plan if the power is cut off during the set time.
