c
a a Can set the location to use the scheduled charging and climate controls.
b b Can use the scheduled charging and climate controls only in the set location.
c c Can set the charging current to use in the set location.

A
The charging time may vary depending on charging conditions.

A
If a problem occurs while charging, lower the charging current and try again. When the
charging current is lowered, charging may take longer.
Setting the target battery level
You can set the battery amount to charge.
1 On the Charge Management screen, press Max. % Charge.
2 Select a charging type to set the target battery level.
3 Set the target battery level and then press OK.

A
AC charging ensures the optimal battery performance for a long time compared to DC
charging.

A
When the battery amount reaches the target level, charging stops. When you charge only
the required battery amount, it can ensure the optimal battery performance for a long
time, compared to full battery charging.

Configuring the EV settings (EV only)
You can set to display the warning message when the remaining battery amount is low for
the destination and you can also see the drivable distance. In winter, you can also set to
increase the battery temperature in advance.
1 On the Electric Vehicle screen, press EV Settings.
2 Select and then change the settings.

Winter Mode
 Winter Mode: Can increase the battery temperature in advance to enhance the charging
and driving performance when scheduling charge or climate controls in winter. This
decreases the drivable distance because it causes to drain the battery faster.
Warning
Range Warning: When the destination is beyond your reach with the remaining battery
amount during route guidance, the range warning appears.
EV Route
Show on the Map: When the destination is guided using the navigation system, the
drivable range under the remaining battery amount appears on the route. The drivable
range appears in blue, the range beyond reach appears in gray, and the icon to search for
charging stations also appears.
