2 2-2. Charging
Plug-in hybrid system
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
Confirm the following before
charging
Inspecting the AC charging
cable

mation display
Vehicles with 12.3-inch multi-
information display
Discharging status
Charging status
When the electricity supply from the AC
charging cable is larger than the power
consumption inside the vehicle,
becomes larger. When the power con-
sumption is larger than the electricity
supply, becomes larger.
When the electricity supply and con-
sumption are balanced (when the
power balance is judged to be zero),
and are displayed as the same
size.
■When a door is unlocked while
using “My Room Mode”
The charging connector unlocks,
charging stops and “My Room Mode”
stops. In order to use “My Room Mode”
again, reconnect the AC charging cable
and start “My Room Mode” (P.164).
When using “My Room Mode” with pub-lic charging station, operation to start
charging using the charger may be
required again before starting “My Room
Mode”.
■Meter display during charging
If “My Room Mode” is not turned on for
approximately 100 seconds after the
power switch is turned on during
charging, the power switch will automat-
ically turn off.
■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 condi-
tioning system automatically turns off.
In this situation, the air conditioning
system cannot be used until the
remaining charge of the hybrid battery
(traction battery) increases. Turn the
power switch off and use “My Room
Mode” after the remaining charge of
the hybrid battery (traction battery) is
restored.
●When the outside temperature is low,
the heater output may be limited due
to the air conditioning system opera-
tion being restricted.
●Warning lights and indicators such as
electric power steering system warn-
ing light (yellow) and malfunction indi-
cator lamp may turn on, but this is not
a malfunction.
Also, when the surrounding area is
dark, the headlights are turned on.
(P.326)
■When a charging schedule is regis-
tered
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 (traction
battery) is fully charged
When the power switch is turned on

shown
■If “Charging System Malfunction See Owner’s Manual” is shown
■If “The Traction Battery Temp is low System put priority on
charging to preserve battery condition” is shown (Greenland only)
Likely causeCorrection procedure
Power is being consumed by electrical
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 sufficiently charged.
Operate the hybrid system for approxi-
mately 15 minutes or more to charge the
auxiliary battery.
Likely causeCorrection procedure
Malfunction occurred in charging system
Have the vehicle inspected by any autho-
rized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized
repairer, or any reliable repairer.
Likely causeCorrection procedure
The Hybrid battery (traction battery)
warming control was operated (P.128)
When the hybrid battery (traction battery)
warming control operates, the charging
schedule is not used and charging is per-
formed.
This is a control to protect the hybrid bat-
tery (traction battery), and not a malfunc-
tion.
