battery) before your desired depar-
ture time. It is also possible to set
the air conditioning to make the
interior in a comfortable state
before your desired departure time.
At your destination
Use a public charging station to
charge the hybrid battery (traction
battery).
If there are no charging facilities at
your destination, the hybrid battery
(traction battery) can be charged
using the hybrid battery (traction
battery) charge mode. ( P. 89)
