When charging with a charger,
follow the procedures for using
each charger.
When charging using a public
charging facility, check the set-
ting of the charging schedule
function.
• When the charging schedule is regis-
tered, temporarily turn off the function
or turn “Charge Now” on. (P.150,
156, 162)
• When the charging schedule is set to
on, charging will not start even if the
AC charging cable is connected.
Also, charging fee may occur due to
connection of the AC charging cable.
Before charging, always check the
following items.
The parking brake is applied.
(P.320)
Lights such as the headlights,
emergency flashers and interior
lights etc. are turned off.
If these light switches are turned on,
then these features will consume elec-
tricity, and charging time will increase.
The power switch is turned to
OFF. (P.313)
Before charging, make sure that
each part of the AC charging cable
is in good condition. (P.117)
■During charging
●The charging starting time may differ
depending on the state of the vehicle,
but this does not indicate a malfunc-
tion.
●Cooling fan sounds may be heard
from near the rear seat. (P.99)
●During charging, sounds may be
heard from near the hybrid battery
(traction battery) in accordance with
the operation of the air conditioning
system or “Battery Cooler” (P.128).
●During and after charging, the rear
seat and its surrounding area in which
the onboard traction battery charger is
installed may get warm.
●The surface of the CCID (Charging
Circuit Interrupting Device) may
become hot, but this does not indicate
a malfunction. (When using Mode 2
AC charging cable.)
●Depending on radio wave conditions,
interference may be heard on the
radio.
●The current charging condition and
the estimated time until charging will
complete can be checked on the
multi-information display.
■Capacity reduction of the hybrid
battery (traction battery)
The capacity of the hybrid battery (trac-
tion battery) will decline gradually when
the hybrid battery (traction battery) is in
use. The rate at which it declines will dif-
fer in accordance with environmental
conditions and the way in which the
vehicle is used. Observing the following
can help suppress battery capacity
decline.
●Avoid parking the vehicle in areas with
a high temperature under direct sun-
light when the hybrid battery (traction
battery) is fully charged.
●Avoid accelerating and decelerating
frequently and suddenly when EV
driving.
●Avoid frequent driving near the top

speed for EV driving. (P.90)
●Leave a low level of charge in the
hybrid battery (traction battery) when
leaving the vehicle undriven for a long
period of time.
After confirming that EV mode or
AUTO EV/HV mode has switched to
HV mode, turn the power switch off.
●Use the charging schedule function as
much as possible in order to fully
charge the hybrid battery (traction bat-
tery) immediately before starting off.
(P.144)
Also, if the hybrid battery (traction bat-
tery) capacity reduces, the distance that
can be driven in EV mode or AUTO
EV/HV mode decreases. However, vehi-
cle performance does not significantly
become worse.
■When the remaining charge of the
hybrid battery (traction battery) is
low after charging
In the following situations, the remaining
charge of the hybrid battery (traction
battery) after charging completes may
be less than normal in order to protect
the system (the EV driving range after
the battery is fully charged may be
shorter).
*
●Charging is carried out when the out-
side temperature is low or high.
●Charging is carried out immediately
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 com-
pletes, have the vehicle inspected by
any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota
authorized repairer, or any reliable
repairer.
*: When this occurs, even if the remain-
ing charge display of the hybrid bat-
tery (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 bat-
tery (traction battery), the charging
amount sent to the hybrid battery (trac-
tion battery) may decrease.
■Charging time may increase
In the following situations, charging time
may become longer than normal:
●In very hot or very cold temperatures.
●When the hybrid battery (traction bat-
tery) becomes hot, such as immedi-
ately after high-load driving.
●The vehicle is consuming a lot of elec-
tricity, for example, when the head-
lights are on etc.
●When using “My Room Mode”.
(P.164)
●There is a power outage during
charging.
●There is an interruption in the electri-
cal supply.
●There is a drop in the voltage of exter-
nal 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.
●The maximum charging current is set
to 8A or 16A*. (P.125, 126)
●When the “Battery Heater” operates.
(P.128)
