nector that supplies power is connected,
“Charging Port Lid is Open” is displayed
on the multi-information display. In this
case, press of the meter control
switches to display the setting screen of
“My Room Mode”, and then select “My
Room Mode”.
When “My Room Mode” is used while the hybrid battery (traction battery) is
fully charged, the electric power of the hybrid battery (traction battery) may be
consumed. In this case, charging may be performed again.
■When a message related to “My Room Mode” is displayed
When a message is displayed on the multi-information display while using or attempting to start “My Room Mode”,
take the following correction proce- dures.
●“Traction battery is too low for “My Room Mode””
There is insufficient remaining charge in
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
remaining charge display screen for
the hybrid battery (traction battery)
displayed on the multi-information dis-
play. ( P.164)
WARNING
■Cautions for using “My Room
Mode”

Failure to do so may result in serious health problems or even death.
●Do not leave children, people who need assistance, or pets inside the vehicle. The system may turn off
automatically and the interior tem- perature may become high or low, resulting in heat stroke, dehydration
or hypothermia. Devices such as the wipers can also be used, which may lead to mistaken operation and
an accident.
●Check the safety around the vehicle
carefully before use.

ning lights are not designed for use at
