Also, if the hybrid battery (traction
battery) capacity reduces, the dis-
tance that can be driven in EV mode
or AUTO EV/HV mode decreases.
However, vehicle performance does
not significantly become worse.
■When the remaining charge of
the hybrid battery (traction bat-
tery) is low after charging
In the following situations, the
remaining charge of the hybrid bat-
tery (traction battery) after charging
completes may be less than normal
in order to protect the system (the
EV driving range after the hybrid
battery [traction battery] is fully
charged may be shorter).
*
●Charging is carried out when the
outside temperature is low or high.
●Charging is carried out immedi-
ately after high-load driving or in
extreme heat.
When none of the above situations
apply and there is a drastic drop in
the remaining charge of the hybrid
battery (traction battery) after
charging completes, have the vehi-
cle inspected by your Toyota dealer.
*: When this occurs, even if the remaining charge display of the
hybrid battery (traction battery)
shows that it is fully charged, the
remaining charge rapidly
decreases faster than normal.
■When the charging amount sent
to the hybrid battery (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
hybrid battery (traction battery), the
charging amount sent to the hybrid
battery (traction battery) may
decrease.
