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.

the hybrid battery (traction battery) for
starting “My Room Mode”.
Wait until the charge of the hybrid bat-
tery (traction battery) increases, then
start “My Room Mode”.
●““My Room Mode” has stopped due to low traction battery”
The remaining charge in the hybrid bat-
tery (traction battery) is insufficient.
Stop using “My Room Mode” and
charge the hybrid battery (traction bat-
tery).
●““My Room Mode” will stop when trac- tion battery is too low Reduce power usage to continue using “My Room
Mode””
The power consumption inside the vehi-
cle 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 the
power consumption inside the vehicle is improved.• To continue using “My Room Mode”,
turn off the power of systems such as the air conditioning system and audio system to increase the remaining
charge of the hybrid battery (traction battery).*: The power balance status during “My
Room Mode” can be checked from the
