■When the outside temperature
is low or high
The level shown on the SOC (State
of Charge) gauge ( P.165) may
drop slightly when the power switch
is turned to ON, e ven if charging
has been completed and the hybrid
battery (traction battery) is fully
charged. However, this does not
indicate a malfunction.

■Calendar settings
Current date and time information is
automatically set using GPS. How-
ever, if GPS calibra tion of clock is
turned off in the multimedia system
settings, the date needs to be set on
the multi-inform ation display.
If the calendar settings check
screen is displayed when an
attempt was made to register a
charge schedule, check that the cor-
rect date is set. If it is incorrect, be
sure to correct it.
If the calendar information is wrong,
the charging sche dule function will
not operate normally.
When registering the charging
schedule, the following settings
can be changed.
■Select the charging mode
One of the two following
charging modes can be
selected.
“Start”
Starts charging at the set time
*1
and finishes charging when fully
charged.
*2
“Departure”
Starts charging to finish at the
set time.
*3, 4
When this setting is selected,
the air conditioning-linked func-
tion can be used.
*1: Charging schedule function is performed in accordance with
the clock in the multi-information
display. Before registering the
charging 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 bat-
tery (traction battery).
*3: When the system determines that there is no time to finish
charging by the set scheduled
departure time, it starts charging.
Check the charging schedules.
*4: If sudden changes in tempera-ture or changes in the condition
of the power source occur while
charging, charging may not end
exactly at the time estimated by
the system.
■Repeated setting
The periodic charging schedule
can be set by selecting your
desired day of the week. (If no
days are selected, charging is
only carried out once.)
Using the charging
schedule function
Charging can be carried out
at the desired time by regis-
tering the charging sched-
ule. Also, it is possible to
set the charging schedule 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.

■Air conditioning-linked set-
ting (“Climate Prep”)
When the charging mode is set
to “Departure”, the vehicle air
conditioning system ( P.396)
can be set to automatically oper-
ate
* 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 20 minutes before the set depar-
ture time.
■Turning “Charge Now” on
and off
If even one charging schedule is
registered, charging does not
start until the set time, even if
the AC charging cable is con-
nected to the vehicle. To start
charging without changing the
charging schedule setting, turn
“Charge Now” on to temporarily
cancel the charging schedule
and enable charging after con-
necting the AC charging cable.
■Changing “Next Event”*1
It is possible to temporarily set
the time of the next charging
schedule without changing the
registered repeated setting.
*2
*1: The “Next Event” refers to the closest charging schedule from
the current time among the regis-
tered charging schedules.
Charging schedule is performed
based on the “Next Event”.
*2: When “Next Event” is changed, the current charging schedule
will be temporarily ignored and
charging will not be carried out
until the time specified by “Next
Event”. (For example, when
“Next Event” is set for 2 days
later, even if items are registered
on the charging schedule,
charging will not be carried out
until the time specified by “Next
Event”.)
The charging schedule can be
registered on the multi-informa-
tion display or audio system
screen (vehicles with Premium
Audio).

schedule

1322-2. Charging
■To make sure that the charging
schedule function operates cor-
rectly
Check the following items.
●A d j u s t t h e c l o c k t o t h e c o r r e c t t i m e
(  P.169)
●The calendar is set to the correct
date ( P.177)
●Check that the power switch is
turned off
●After registering the charging
schedule, connect the AC
charging cable
The charging sta rt time is deter-
mined based on the charging
schedule at the time that the AC
charging cable was connected.
●After connecting the AC charging
cable, check that the charging
indicator of the charging port
flashes ( P.100)
●Do not use an ou tlet that has a
power cut off function (including a
timer function)
Use an outlet that constantly sup-
plies electricity. For outlets 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.
■When the AC charging cable
remains connected to the vehi-
cle
Even if multiple consecutive
charging schedules are registered,
the next charge will not be carried
out according to the charging
schedule until the AC charging
cable is removed and reconnected
after charging completes. Also,
when the hybrid battery (traction
battery) is fully charged, charging
according to the charging schedule
will not be carried out.
■“Climate Prep”
●When the air conditioning-linked
setting is turned on, the air condi-
tioning operates until the set departure time. Therefore, the air
conditioning will co
nsume electric-
ity and charging may not complete
by the set departure time.
●If the hybrid batte ry (traction bat-
tery) is fully charged, charging will
not be carried o ut, even if the
charging schedule is set. How-
ever, if “Climate Prep” is turned
on, the air conditioning will oper-
ate only once when it nears the
time set in “Departure”. If this
occurs, the air conditioning will
consume electricity and the
remaining charge of the hybrid
battery (traction battery) when
departing may be decreased.
●When the doors are unlocked, the
air conditioning system does not
operate.
■Smartphone-linked operation
(vehicles with Premium Audio)
After applying to Toyota Apps, it is
possible to use the smartphone
application to change charging
schedule settings.

■When charging schedules are
ignored
When the following operations are
performed while the charging
schedule is on standby, charging
schedule is temporarily canceled
and charging is started.
●When the Remote Air Condition-
ing System ( P.405) is operated
●When turning “My Room Mode”

■Effects of outside temperature
When the charging mode is set to
“Departure”, charging schedule may
be ignored due to the outside tem-
perature and charging may start.
■“Battery Heater” ( P.115) /
“Battery Cooler” ( P.116)
When charging is c arried out using
the charging schedule, the hybrid
battery (traction battery) heating or
cooling function may operate
according to the te mperature of the
hybrid battery (traction battery).
●When the charging mode is set to
“Start”, the function starts at the
set charging start time.
●“Battery Heater”: When the
charging mode is set to “Depar-
ture”, the function starts automati-
cally to complete heating by the
desired departure time.
●“Battery Cooler”: When the
charging mode is set to “Depar-
ture”, cooling starts approximately
30 minutes before the charging
start time. However, if there is no
time to finish charging by the
charging schedule, the hybrid bat-
tery (traction battery) cooling time
may be shortened and “Battery
Cooler” may not operate.
