Plug-in hybrid system■Charging from an external
power source (P.121)
This is a charging method used
when charging from an AC out-
let (120 V) with the AC charging
cable equipped to the vehicle or
charging at a public charging
station.
The charging start time (or depar-
ture time) and day can be set to
carry out charging using the
charging schedule at the desired
date and time. ( P.128)
■Using the hybrid battery
(traction battery) charge
mode ( P.77)
The plug-in hybrid system can
be switched to hybrid battery
(traction battery) charge mode
to charge the hybrid battery
(traction battery) using electricity
generated by gasoline engine
operation.
The maximum charge amount in
the hybrid battery (traction battery)
charge mode is approximately 80%
of the fully charged capacity for the
charging from an external power
source.
This vehicle is equipped with
several functions that are linked
with charging.
■“My Room Mode” ( P.148)
When the AC charging cable is
connected to the vehicle, electri-
cal components such as the air
conditioning system or audio
system can be used using the
external power source
*.
*: The power of the hybrid battery
(traction battery) may be used
depending on the situation.
■“Battery Heater”
When the outside temperature
is low and the AC charging
cable is connected to the vehi-
cle, this function automatically
warms the hybrid battery (trac-
tion battery) until it reaches or
exceeds a certain temperature.
“Battery Heater” will operate
when the “Battery Heater” of the
“Charging Settings” on the multi-
information display is on.
( P.193)
■Hybrid battery (traction bat-
tery) warming control
(Alaska and Canada only)
This control operates after the
