mate Ctrl. Timer and the tolerance of
charging time, etc. In that case, the
charging continues until the Li-ion
battery is fully charged.
TIMER DISPLAY
The timer display appears for approxi-
mately 30 seconds when the power switch
is placed in the OFF position.
1Charging time
The estimated time of charging the Li-ion
battery (start time and end time) is dis-
played.
• When the charging timer is set, the charg- ing system calculates the estimated time
to charge the Li-ion battery based on the
electrical power supplied in the last
charging using the timer, and the start
time and end time are displayed.
• The estimated time may be recalculated depending on the actual electrical power
af ter the charge cable is connected. Al-
though the estimated time may be differ- ent from the time that was displayed
when the power switch was placed in the
OFF position, this is not a malfunction.
•
When the charging timer is set to OFF, the
estimated end time to charge the Li-ion
battery to a full level in the case of perform-
ing the immediate charge. The end time is
calculated based on the electrical power
selected in the “Charge Time Screen”.

is longer than 24 hours, “Over 24h” is
displayed.
• When the charging is set to start immedi- ately af ter connecting the charge con-
nector to the vehicle, the start time is dis-
played as “Charge Now”.
• While being charged, the time when the charging has actually started is displayed
as the start time. The end time is dis-
played according to the estimated charg-
ing time that was calculated based on the
electrical power being supplied.
•
For models with Li-ion battery warmer, the
charging system calculates the electrical
power used by the battery warmer when
the Li-ion battery temperature is low, and
longer charging time will be displayed.
• When “Chg. Timer Only at HOME” is set to ON (models with Navigation System) in
the EV Settings, the start time is displayed
only when the power switch is placed in
the OFF position at home. If the power
switch is placed in the OFF position other
than at home, the immediate charge mode is selected and “Charge Now” will
appear as the start time.
• When “Full charge has priority” is set to ON in the EV Settings and the Li-ion battery
cannot be charged to a full level within the
hours between the scheduled start time
and end time of the charging timer, the
charging time shows the time that ex-
ceeds the scheduled hours in the charg-
ing timer.
•
If you need to confirm the estimated charg-
ing time depending on the available electri-
cal power (supplied to the charger), see the
Estimated Charge Time display. Refer to
“Meters and gauges” in the “Instruments
and controls” section of this manual.
NOTE:
• The displayed end time of charging is
an estimation. The Li-ion battery may
not be charged to a full level by the es-
timated end time.
• If the charging timer and the Climate
Ctrl. timer are set to operate at the same
time, longer charging time will be dis-
played or the Li-ion battery may not be
charged to a full level at the scheduled
end time.
