Starts charging to finish at the set
time.
*3, 4
When this setting is selected, the air
conditioning-linked function can be
used.
*1: There might be a slight error in the
timing when charging starts due to
the state of the hybrid battery (trac-
tion battery).
*2: Charging schedule function is per-
formed in accordance with the clock.
Before registering the charging
schedule, check and set the clock to
the proper time.
*3: If the system determines that
charging cannot be completed by
the set departure time, it will start
charging. Check the charging sched-
ule.
*4: If the outside temperature changes
suddenly or the state of the power
source being used is changed during
charging, the system may not com-
plete the charging as estimated.
■Repeated setting

If even one charging schedule is
registered, charging does not start
until the set time, even if the AC
charging cable is connected to the
vehicle. To start charging without
changing the charging schedule
setting, turn “Charge Now” on to
temporarily cancel the charging
schedule and enable charging after
connecting the AC charging cable.

est charging schedule from the cur-
rent time among the registered
charging schedules. Charging
schedule is performed based on the “Next Event”.
*2: “Next Event” can not be changed on
the multimedia display.
*3: When “Next Event” is changed, the
current charging schedule will be
temporarily ignored and charging will
not be carried out until the time
specified by “Next Event”. (For
example, when “Next Event” is set
for 2 days later, even if items are
registered on the charging schedule,
charging will not be carried out until
the time specified by “Next Event”.)

Registering the charging
schedule

1462-2. Charging
●A maximum of 15 charging schedules
can be registered.
■To make sure that the charging
schedule function operates cor-
rectly
Check the following items.
●The clock is adjusted to the proper
time
●The calendar is set to the correct date
●Check that the power switch is turned
off
●After registering the charging sched-
ule, connect the AC charging cable
The charging start time is determined
based on the charging schedule at the
time that the AC charging cable was
connected.
●After connecting the AC charging
cable, check that the charging indica-
tor of the charging port flashes
(P.107)
●Do not use an socket that has a power
cut off function (including a timer func-
tion)
Use an socket that constantly supplies
electricity. For sockets where the
power is cut off due to a timer func-
tion, etc., charging may not be carried
out according to plan if the power is
cut off during the set time.
●The automatic adjustment of the clock
by GPS is set to on.
For details regarding setting clock, refer
to “Multimedia Owner’s Manual”.
■When the AC charging cable
remains connected to the vehicle
Even if multiple consecutive charging
schedules are registered, the next
charge will not be carried out according
to the charging schedule until the AC
charging cable is removed and recon-
nected after charging completes. Also,
when the hybrid battery (traction battery)
is fully charged, charging according to
the charging schedule will not be carried
out.
■“Climate Prep” or “Climate prepa-
ration”
●When the air conditioning-linked set-
ting is turned on, the air conditioning
operates until the set departure time.
Therefore, the air conditioning will
consume electricity and charging may
not complete by the set departure
time.
●If the hybrid battery (traction battery)
is fully charged, charging will not be
carried out, even if the charging
schedule is set. However, if “Climate
Prep” or “Climate preparation” is
turned on, the air conditioning will
operate only once when it nears the
time set in “Departure” or “Departure
time”. If this occurs, the air condition-
ing will consume electricity and the
remaining charge of the hybrid battery
(traction battery) when departing may
be decreased.
●When the doors are unlocked, the air
conditioning system does not operate.
■When charging schedules are
ignored
When the following operations are per-
formed while the charging schedule is
on standby, charging schedule is tempo-
rarily canceled and charging is started.
●When the Remote Air Conditioning
System (P.438) is operated
●When turning “My Room Mode” on
(P.164)
●When turning “Charge Now” on
(P.150, 156, 162)
●When an operation that temporarily
cancels charging using the charging
schedule is performed (P.138)
■Effects of outside temperature
When the charging mode is set to
“Departure” or “Departure time”,
charging schedule may be ignored due
to the outside temperature and charging
may start.

■“Battery Heater” (P.128) /“Battery
Cooler” (P.128)
When charging is carried out using the
charging schedule, the hybrid battery
(traction battery) heating or cooling func-
tion may operate according to the tem-
perature of the hybrid battery (traction
battery).
●When the charging mode is set to
“Start” or “Start at set time”, the func-
tion starts at the set charging start
time.
●“Battery Heater”: When the charging
mode is set to “Departure” or “Depar-
ture time”, the function starts automat-
ically to complete heating by the
desired departure time.
●“Battery Cooler”: When the charging
mode is set to “Departure” or “Depar-
ture time”, cooling starts approxi-
mately 30 minutes before the charging
start time. However, if there is no time
to finish charging by the charging
schedule, the hybrid battery (traction
battery) cooling time may be short-
ened and “Battery Cooler” may not
operate.
When operating charging schedule,
use the meter control switches.
