1462-2. Charging
■When “My Room Mode” is used
while the hybrid battery (trac-
tion battery) is fully charged
When the power switch is turned on
while the hybrid battery (traction
battery) is fully charged and the
charging connector that supplies
power is connected, “Charging Port
Lid is Open” is displayed on the
multi-information display. In this
case, press on the meter control
switches to display the setting
screen of “My Room Mode”, and
then select “My Room Mode”.
When “My Room Mode” is used
while the hybrid battery (traction
battery) is fully charged, the electric
power of the hybrid battery (traction
battery) may be consumed. In this
case, charging may be performed
again.
■When a message related to “My
Room Mode” is displayed
When a message is displayed on
the multi-informat ion display while
using or attempting to start “My
Room Mode”, take the following cor-
rection procedures.
●“Traction battery is too low for “My
Room Mode””
There is insufficient remaining
charge in the hybrid battery (traction
battery) for starting “My Room
Mode”.
Wait until the char ge of the hybrid
battery (traction battery) increases,
then start “My Room Mode”.
●““My Room Mode” has stopped
due to low traction battery”
The remaining charge in the hybrid
battery (traction battery) is insuffi-
cient.
Stop using “My Room Mode” and
charge the hybrid battery (traction
battery).
●““My Room Mode” will stop when
traction battery is too low Reduce
power usage to continue using
“My Room Mode””
The power consumption inside the
vehicle is greater than the power
being charged to the hybrid battery
(traction battery), and the remaining
charge of the hybrid battery (traction
battery) is low.
*
• “My Room Mode” will end unless the power consumption inside the
vehicle is improved.
• To continue using “My Room Mode”, turn off the power of sys-
tems such as the air conditioning
system and audio system to
increase the remaining charge of
the hybrid battery (traction bat-
tery).
*: The power balance status during
“My Room Mode” can be checked
from the remaining charge dis-
play screen for the hybrid battery
(traction battery) displayed on the
multi-information display.
WARNING
■Cautions for using “My Room
Mode”
Make sure to observe the follow-
ing precautions.
Failure to do so may result in seri-
ous health problems or even
death.
●Do not leave children, people
who need assistance, or pets
inside the vehicle. The system
may turn off aut omatically and
the interior temperature may
become high or low, resulting in
heat stroke, dehydration or
hypothermia. Devices such as
the wipers can also be used,
which may lead to mistaken
operation and an accident.
●Check the safety around the
vehicle carefully before use.
