■When the outside temperature
is low or high
The level shown on the SOC (State
of Charge) gauge ( P.173, 178)
may drop slightly when the power
switch is turned to ON, even if
charging has bee n completed and
the hybrid battery (traction battery)
is fully charged. However, this does
not indicate a malfunction.

■Calendar settings
The current date an d time is auto-
matically set using GPS. However, if
the automatic setti ng of the clock is
turned off on the Multimedia Dis-
play, it is necessary to set the calen-
dar on the multi-information display
(  P.191, 203). For details, refer to
the “MULTIMEDIA OWNER’S MAN-
UAL”.
If the calendar settings check
screen is displayed when an
attempt is made to register a
charging schedule, make sure that
the calendar settings are correctly. If
the calendar is not set correctly, the
charging schedule function will not
operate properly.
When registering the charging
schedule, the following settings
can be changed.
■Select the charging mode
One of the two following
charging modes can be
selected.
“Start” or “Start at set time”
Starts charging at the set time
*1,
2
and finishes charging when
fully charged.
“Departure” or “Departure
time”
Starts charging to finish at the
set time.
*3, 4
When this setting is selected,
the air conditioning-linked func-
tion can be used.
*1: There might be a slight error in the timing when charging starts
due to the state of the hybrid bat-
tery (traction battery).
*2: Charging schedule function is performed in accordance with
the clock. Before registering the
charging schedule, check and
set the clock to t he proper time.
*3: If the system de termines that
charging cannot be completed
by the set depart ure time, it will
start charging. Check the
charging schedule.
*4: If the outside temperature changes suddenly o r the state of
the power source being used is
changed during charging, the
system may not complete the
charging as estimated.
■Repeated setting
The periodic charging schedule
can be set by selecting your
desired day of the week. (If no
days are selected, charging is
only carried out once.)
Using the charging
schedule function
Charging can be carried out
at the desired time by regis-
tering the charging sched-
ule. Also, it is possible to
set the charging schedule to
one’s preferences, such as
having charging complete
by a certain departure time
or be carried out at the
same time on certain days.

■Air conditioning-linked set-
ting (“Climate Prep” or “Cli-
mate preparation”)
When the charging mode is set
to “Departure” or “Departure
time”, the vehicle air condition-
ing system ( P.422) can be set
to automatically operate
*
according to the set time.
By adjusting the cabin temperature
in advance, passengers can enjoy
a pleasant interior immediately after
entering the vehicle.
*: Operation starts approximately 20 minutes before the set depar-
ture time.
■Turning “Charge Now” on
and off
If even one charging schedule is
registered, charging does not
start until the set time, even if
the AC charging cable is con-
nected to the vehicle. To start
charging without changing the
charging schedule setting, turn
“Charge Now” on to temporarily
cancel the charging schedule
and enable charging after con-
necting the AC charging cable.
*
*: If the charging connector is removed during charging while
the charging schedule is regis-
tered and “Charge Now” is on,
“Charge Now” turns off.
■Changing “Next Event”*1, 2
It is possible to temporarily set
the time of the next charging
schedule without changing the registered repeated setting.
*3
*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
 7-inch multi-information dis-
play operation (if equipped):

Registering the charging
schedule

1302-2. Charging
■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

■When charging schedules are
ignored
When the following operations are
performed while the charging
schedule is on standby, charging
schedule is temporarily canceled
and charging is started.
●When the Remote Air Condition-
ing System ( P.431) is operated
●When turning “My Room Mode”
on ( P.148)
●When turning “Charge Now” on
( 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.
