tricity of the traction battery may
be consumed.
■Traction battery heater
When the outside temperature
is low and the charging cable is
connected to the vehicle, this
function automatically warms
the traction battery until it
reaches or exceeds a certain
temperature.
 The operation of this function
is stopped automatically when
the charging cable is discon-
nected or if the charging cable
is left connected to the vehicle
for approximately 3 days.
 When the charging schedule
is used ( P.118), this func-
tion will operate according to
the schedule settings.
■Traction battery warming
control
This control operates after the
charging cable remains con-
nected to the vehicle for approx-
imately 3 days and the traction
battery heater automatically
stops. It automatically insulates
the traction battery in extremely
low temperatures.
 This control stops 31 days
after the charging cable is
connected, even if it is still
connected to the vehicle. 

are ignored and charging
starts immediately.
■Traction battery cooler
When the traction battery is hot
and the AC charging cable is
connected to the vehicle, this
function cools the traction bat-
tery to protect it.
The function may operate when
continuously driving at high
speeds such as driving on high-
ways or freeways, or during DC
charging.

action battery
cooler is on standby or operating.
●When the charge level of the trac-
tion battery is low, the traction bat-
tery cooler may n ot operate, even
if the temperature of the traction
battery is high.
●When the following conditions are
met while the trac tion battery
cooler is operating, the cooling
operation will stop.
• The hood is opened
• The power switch is turned to ACC or ON.
• The shift position is changed to any position other than P
• The Remote Air Conditioning Sys- tem is operated ( P.409)

Information related to charging
is displayed and can be checked
on the multi-information display.
■While charging
When any door is opened during
charging with the power switch
off, the current charging condi-
tion and approximate time
remaining until charging is com-
plete are displayed for a certain
period of time.
The actual charging time may
differ depending on conditions
such as the remaining capacity
of the traction battery, outside
temperature, and specifications
of the AC/DC charger.
The time until charging com-
pleted may not be displayed if
the charging current to the trac-
tion battery becomes smaller
and the charging time becomes
longer.
■After charging is complete
When any door is opened with
the power switch off after
charging is complete, a mes-
sage detailing the results of the
charging is displayed for a while.

●Avoid frequent DC charging
Also, if the capacit y of the traction
battery capacity reduces, the dis-
tance that can be driven decreases.
However, vehicle performance does
not significantly become worse.
■When the remaining charge of
the traction battery is low after
charging
In the following situations, the
remaining charge of the traction bat-
tery after charging completes may
be less than normal in order to pro-
tect the traction bat tery (the driving
range after the battery is fully
charged may be shorter).
*
●Charging is perf ormed when the
outside temperature is low or high
●Charging is perf ormed immedi-
ately after high-l oad driving or in
extreme heat
In any other situati on, if the remain-
ing charge of the traction battery is
significantly lower than normal after
charging completes, have the vehi-
cle inspected by your Toyota dealer.
*: When this occurs, even if the remaining charge display of the
traction battery shows that it is
fully charged, the remaining
charge rapidly decreases faster
than normal.
■When the charging amount sent
to the traction battery
decreases
When the amount of power supplied
by the charger is low or operation of
the battery heater, etc., reduces the
charging power sent to the traction
battery, the charging amount sent to
the traction battery may decrease.
