1142-2. Charging
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.
■Certification
This device complies with Part 15 of
the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) this device may not cause harm-
ful interference, and
(2) this device must accept any
interference received, including
interference that may cause unde-
sired operation.
■Charging time may increase
In the following si tuations, charging
time may become longer than nor-
mal:
●In very hot or very cold tempera-
tures.
●When the hybrid battery (traction
battery) becomes hot, such as
immediately after high-load driv-
ing.
●The vehicle is consuming a lot of
electricity, for example, when the
headlights are on etc.
●When using “My Room Mode”.
( P.134)
●There is a power outage during
charging.
●There is an interruption in the
electrical supply.
●There is a drop in the voltage of
external power source.
●The charge in the 12-volt battery
is low, for example due to the
vehicle being left unused for a
long period of time.
●When the upper limit of charging
current is changed in the charging
current setting of the vehicle.
( P.119)
●When the “Battery Heater” oper-
ates. ( P.108)
●When the “Battery Cooler” is oper-
ated before charging. ( P.109)
●When the plug generates heat
due to a loose outlet connection
etc.
●When the temperature of
charging-related parts is high.
1162-2. Charging
The parking brake is applied.
( P.263)
Lights such as the head-
lights, emergency flashers
and interior lights etc. are
turned off.
If these light switches are turned
on, then these features will con-
sume electricity, and charging time
will increase.
The power switch is turned to
OFF. ( P.251)
Before charging, make sure that
each part of the AC charging
cable is in good condition.
( P.101)
Inspecting the AC
charging cable
How to charge
This section explains the
procedure for charging the
hybrid battery (traction bat-
tery) with AC charging
cable.
When using an AC charger,
make sure to check the
operation instructions on
the AC charger.
When the charging schedule
is registered, make sure
“Charge Now” is turned on
before charging. ( P.128,
132)
NOTICE
■When using the AC charging
cable and related parts
To prevent damage to the AC
charging cable and related parts,
observe the following precautions.
●When interrupting or canceling
charging, remove the charging
connector before removing the
plug.
●When removing the AC
charging cable, check that the
charging connector is unlocked.
●Do not forcefully pull the
charging connector cap.
●Do not apply a vibration to the
charging connector while
charging.
Charging may be stopped.
●Do not insert anything but the
charging connector into the AC
charging inlet.

Plug-in hybrid system
■While using “My Room Mode”
Any of the following may occur.
●When the remaining charge of the
hybrid battery (traction battery)
reaches the lower limit, the air
conditioning system automatically
turns off.
In this situation, the air conditioning
system cannot be used until the
remaining charge of the hybrid bat-
tery (traction battery) increases.
Turn the power switch off and use
“My Room Mode” after the remain-
ing charge of the hybrid battery
(traction battery) is restored.
●When the outside temperature is
low, the heater output may be lim-
ited due to the air conditioning
system operation being restricted.
●Warning lights and indicators such
as electric power steering system
warning light (yellow) and mal-
function indicator lamp may turn
on, but this is not a malfunction.
Also, when the headlight switch is
in the AUTO position (if equipped)
and the surrounding area is dark,
the headlights are turned on.
( P.269)
■When a charging schedule is
registered
When “My Room Mode” starts while
the charging schedule is on
standby, charging schedules are
ignored and charging starts.
■When “My Room Mode” is used
while the hybrid battery (trac-
tion battery) is fully charged
When the power switch is turned on
while the hybrid battery (traction
battery) is fully charged and the
charging connector that supplies
power is connected, “Charging Port
Lid is Open” is displayed on the
multi-information di splay. In this
case, press on the meter control switches to display the setting
screen of “My Room Mode”, and
then select “My Room Mode”.
When “My Room Mode” is used
while the hybrid
battery (traction
battery) is fully charged, the electric
power of the hybrid battery (traction
battery) may be consumed. In this
case, charging may be performed
again.
■When a message related to “My
Room Mode” is displayed
When a message is displayed on
the multi-information display while
using or attempti ng to start “My
Room Mode”, take the following cor-
rection procedures.
●“Traction battery is too low for “My
Room Mode””
There is insufficient remaining
charge in the hybrid battery (traction
battery) for starting “My Room
Mode”.
Wait until the charge of the hybrid
battery (traction battery) increases,
then start “My Room Mode”.
●““My Room Mode” has stopped
due to low traction battery”
The remaining charge in the hybrid
battery (traction ba ttery) is insuffi-
cient.
Stop using “My Room Mode” and
charge the hybrid battery (traction
battery).
●““My Room Mode ” will stop when
traction battery is too low Reduce
power usage to continue using
“My Room Mode””
The power consumption inside the
vehicle is greater than the power
being charged to the hybrid battery
(traction battery), and the remaining
charge of the hybrid battery (traction
battery) is low.
*
• “My Room Mode” will end unless

is shown
■If “Charging System Malfunction See Owner’s Manual” is
shown
■If “The Traction Battery Temp is low System put priority on

Canada only)
Likely causeCorrection procedure
Power is being consumed by electri-
cal components of vehicle
Check the following items, and then
carry out charging again.
If the headlights and audio are
turned on, turn them off.
Turn the power switch off.
If charging cannot be carried out,
even after performing the above, the
auxiliary battery may not be suffi-
ciently charged. Operate the hybrid
system for approximately 15 minutes
or more to charge the 12-volt battery.
Likely causeCorrection procedure
Malfunction occurred in charging
systemHave the vehicle inspected by your
Toyota dealer.
Likely causeCorrection procedure
The Hybrid battery (traction battery)
warming control was operated
( P.109)
When the hybrid battery (traction
battery) warming control operates,
the charging schedule is not used
and charging is performed.
This is a control to protect the hybrid
battery (traction battery), and not a
malfunction.
