■“Traction Battery Cooler” (if equipped)
●When the hybrid battery (traction battery) is above a certain temperature
and the power switch is turned off, a check screen is displayed on the multi-
information display that indicates whether “Traction Battery Cooler” is imple-
mented. Approximately 5 minutes after selecting “Yes” on this screen, sys-
tem operation becomes possible.
●When charging starts, “Traction Battery Cooler” only operates if the hybrid
battery (traction battery) temperature is hot.
●The charging indicator is illuminated while “Traction Battery Cooler” is on
standby or operating.
●“Traction Battery Cooler” is implemented for a maximum of approximately
30 minutes. However, when the “Departure” time is set (P. 166) and there
is not sufficient time between the current time and the time that charging will
complete, “Traction Battery Cooler” operation time may become shorter.
●When there is a small amount of remaining charge in the hybrid battery
(traction battery), even if the hybrid battery (traction battery) is hot, “Traction
Battery Cooler” may not be implemented.
●When the following operations are performed while “Traction Battery Cooler”
is operating, the hybrid battery (traction battery) cooling operation stops.
• A door is opened
• The hood is opened
• The power switch is turned to any mode other than off
• The alarm operates (if equipped) (P. 7 6 )
• The shift position is changed to any position other than P
• The Remote Air Conditioning System is operated (P. 535)
• “Charge Now” is implemented (P. 167)
• The amount of remaining charge in the hybrid battery (traction battery) is
below a certain amount
●When the power switch is turned off, a check screen is displayed on the
multi-information display that indicates whether “Traction Battery Cooler” is
implemented. This check screen can be turned on and off in the “Meter Cus-
tomize” settings on the multi-information display (P. 250). However, when
the check screen is set to “Off”, “Traction Battery Cooler” is no longer oper-
ates.
●“Traction Battery Cooler” uses the power of the hybrid battery (traction bat-
tery) and external power source.
• While “Traction Battery Cooler” is operating, the amount of the remaining
charge of the hybrid battery (traction battery) increases and decreases in
a certain range, and does not increase as in normal charging.
• The operation of “Traction Battery Cooler” is recognized as charging by a
charger. The charger that calculates the fee according to charging time
causes a charging fee.

If even one charge schedule is registered, charging does not start
until the set time, even if the charging cable is connected to the
vehicle. To start charging without changing the charge schedule
setting, turn “Charge Now” on to temporarily cancel the charge
schedule and enable charging after connecting the charging cable.
■Changing “Next Charging Event”*1
It is possible to temporarily set the time of the next scheduled
charge without changing the registered repeated setting.
*2
*1: The “Next Charging Event” refers to the closest charge schedule from the
current time among the registered charge schedules. Charging schedule is
performed based on the “Next Charging Event”.
*2: When “Next Charging Event” is changed, the current charge schedule will
be temporarily ignored and charging will not be carried out until the time
specified by “Next Charging Event”. (For example, when “Next Charging
Event” is set for 2 days later, even if items are registered on the charge
schedule, charging will not be carried out until the time specified by “Next
Charging Event”.)
■Charging schedule
●The charge schedule cannot be set while driving.
