QSolar charging system
OIn the following cases, charging the hybrid battery (traction battery) via the
solar charging system is not performed. Solar power generation stops when
the solar battery becomes fully charged.
• Charging via an external power source
• The power switch is not off
• The “Traction Battery Heater” is operating (P. 144)
• The Remote Air Conditioning System is operating
• When the amount of remaining charge in the hybrid battery (traction bat-
tery) is approximately 90% or more of the fully charged capacity for the
charging from an external power source
OIn the following cases, the solar charging system stops solar power genera-
tion and power supply to the hybrid battery (traction battery) and auxiliary
systems.
• The temperature preservation function of the solar charging system oper-
ates
• There is a malfunction in the solar charging system
• When the 12-volt battery terminals are disconnected
OThe amount of power generated by the solar roof differs according to the
season, climate, weather conditions, vehicle angle and surrounding condi-
tions.
OIf even part of the solar roof is in the shade, there may be an extreme drop
in power generation.
OPlease adhere to the following in order to allow full performance of the solar
roof.
• Clean the roof on a routine basis (Especially fallen leaves and bird drop-
pings can lead to a substantial decrease in power generation)
• Remove snow from the roof as soon as possible
• Do not attach any seals or stickers to the roof
It is recommended not to install a roof carrier etc. unless it is necessary
OWhen the hybrid battery (traction battery) is fully charged, charging the bat-
tery via the solar charging system is not performed. When it is not neces-
sary to perform charging from an external power source, charge the vehicle
as much as possible using the solar charging system during the day and
use the external power source only at night. As a result, the solar charging
system can be used effectively.
OWhen the vehicle is left in the hot weather, the temperature preservation
function of the solar charging system becomes easy to operate due to high
temperature of the vehicle interior. The solar charging system can be used
effectively by using a sunshade or parking the vehicle facing north, etc.

Q Solar battery
When the solar roof is not exposed to sunlight or the vehicle i s not driven for a
long period of time, the solar battery may be discharged, negat ively affecting
the system.
If storing the vehicle inside of a garage away from the sun or if the vehicle will
not be used for a long period of time, use one of the following methods to
charge the solar battery at least once every 2 to 3 months.
O Start the hybrid system and keep the READY indicator turned on for approx-
imately 60 minutes or more
O Park the vehicle outside of the garage so that the solar roof is in direct sun-
light for approximately 2 hours or more
(In this case, it is not necessary to start the hybrid system)
NOTICE
Q To protect the solar charging system from damage
O Make sure to observe the following precautions.
• Do not modify the solar roof
• Do not condense sunlight onto the solar roof
• Do not place anything on top of the solar roof
• Do not subject the solar roof to strong impacts or apply force with sharp
objects from the inside roof of the vehicle.
O If the solar roof is damaged, do not touch the damaged area and immedi-
ately request repairs from any authorized Toyota retailer or To yota autho-
rized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
Q If luggage is loaded on the roof
