2023 TOYOTA RAV4 PLUG-IN HYBRID remote start

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.

“Departure time” and schedule departure
time is close to current timeWhen the system determines that there
is no time to finish charging by the set
scheduled departure time, it starts
charging. Check the charging schedules.
AC charging cable was removed and
reinserted while charging indicator of the
charging port was flashing
If the AC charging cable is removed and
reinserted while the charging indicator is
flashing, the charging schedule is can-
celed (P.138).
Temporarily remove the AC charging
cable, and then reconnect it.
The “My Room Mode” or the Remote Air
Conditioning System was operated
When the “My Room Mode” or the
