*1: The “Next Event” refers to the
closest charging schedule from
the current time among the regis-
tered charging schedules.
Charging schedule is performed
based on the “Next Event”.
*2: “Next Event” can not be changed on the Multimedia Display.
*3: When “Next Event” is changed, the current charging schedule
will be temporarily ignored and
charging will not be carried out
until the time specified by “Next
Event”. (For example, when
“Next Event” is set for 2 days
later, even if items are registered
on the charging schedule,
charging will not be carried out
until the time specified by “Next
Event”.)
The charging schedule can be
registered on the multi-informa-
tion display or Multimedia Dis-
play

■Charging schedule
●The charging schedule cannot be
set while driving.
●A maximum of 15 charging sched-
ules 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
schedule, connect the AC
charging cable
The charging sta rt time is deter-
mined 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
indicator of the charging port
flashes ( P.98)
●Do not use an ou tlet that has a
power cut off function (including a
timer function)
Use an outlet that constantly sup-
plies electricity. For outlets where
the power is cut off due to a timer
function, etc., charging may not be
carried out according to plan if the
power is cut off during the set
time.
●The automatic ad justment of the clock by GPS is set to on.
For details regarding setting clock,
refer to the “MULTIMEDIA
OWNER’S MANUAL”.
■When the AC charging cable
remains connected to the vehi-
cle
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 reconnected
after charging co mpletes. 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
preparation”
●When the air conditioning-linked
setting is turned on, the air condi-
tioning operates until the set
departure time. Therefore, the air
conditioning will co nsume electric-
ity and charging may not complete
by the set departure time.
●If the hybrid batte ry (traction bat-
tery) is fully charged, charging will
not be carried o ut, even if the
charging schedule is set. How-
ever, 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 conditioning
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.
■Smartphone-linked operation (if
equipped)
After applying to Toyota Apps, it is
possible to use the smartphone
application to change charging

( P.135, 141, 147)
●When an operation that temporar-
ily cancels charg ing using the
charging schedule is performed
(  P.123)
■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.
■“Battery Heater” ( P.113) /
“Battery Cooler” ( P.114)
When charging is c arried out using
the charging schedule, the hybrid
battery (traction battery) heating or
cooling function may operate
according to the te mperature of the
hybrid battery (traction battery).
●When the charging mode is set to
“Start” or “Start at set time”, the
function starts at the set charging
start time.
●“Battery Heater”: When the
charging mode is set to “Depar-
ture” or “Departure time”, the func-
tion starts automatically to
complete heating by the desired
departure time.
●“Battery Cooler”: When the
charging mode is set to “Depar-
ture” or “Departu re time”, cooling
starts approximately 30 minutes
before the charg ing start time.
However, if there i s no time to fin-
ish charging by the charging
schedule, the hybrid battery (trac-
tion battery) cooling time may be
shortened and “Battery Cooler”
may not operate.
