■“Traction Battery Cooler”
●When the hybrid battery (traction battery) is above a certain temperature
and the power switch is turned off, a check screen is displayed on the multi-
information display that indicates whether “Traction Battery Co oler” is imple-
mented. Approximately 5 minutes after selecting “Yes” on this s creen, sys-
tem operation becomes possible.
● When charging starts, “Traction Battery Cooler” only operates i f the hybrid
battery (traction battery) temperature is hot.
● The charging indicator is illuminated while “Traction Battery C ooler” is on
standby or operating.
● “Traction Battery Cooler” is implemented for a maximum of appro ximately
30 minutes. However, when the “Departure” time is set ( P. 147) and there
is not sufficient time between the current time and the time that charging will
complete, “Traction Battery Cooler” operation time may become s horter.
● When there is a small amount of remaining charge in the hybrid battery
(traction battery), even if the hybrid battery (traction battery) is hot, “Traction
Battery Cooler” may not be implemented.
● When the following operations are performed while “Traction Bat tery Cooler”
is operating, the hybrid battery (traction battery) cooling operation stops.
• A door is opened
• The hood is opened
• The power switch is turned to any mode other than off
• The shift position is changed to any position other than P
• The Remote Air Conditioning System is operated ( P. 5 1 0 )
• “Charge Now” is implemented ( P. 156, 165)
• The amount of remaining charge in the hybrid battery (traction battery) is
below a certain amount
● When the power switch is turned off, a check screen is displaye d on the
multi-information display that indicates whether “Traction Batt ery Cooler” is
implemented. This check screen can be turned on and off in the “Meter Cus-
tomize” settings on the multi-information display ( P. 234). However, when
the check screen is set to “Off”, “Traction Battery Cooler” is no longer oper-
ates.
● “Traction Battery Cooler” uses the power of the hybrid battery (traction bat-
tery) and external power source.
• While “Traction Battery Cooler” is operating, the amount of th e remaining
charge of the hybrid battery (traction battery) increases and d ecreases in
a certain range, and does not increase as in normal charging.
• The operation of “Traction Battery Cooler” is recognized as ch arging by a
charging equipment. The charging equipment that calculates the fee
according to charging time causes a charging fee.

● The headlights are switched off or set to AUTO, and lights such as
the emergency flashers and interi or lights etc. are switched off.
If these light switches are turned ON, then these features will consume
electricity, and charging time will increase.
● The power switch is off. ( P. 3 2 4 )
Before charging, make sure that each part of the charging cable is in
good condition. ( P. 11 2 )
■Safety functions
●The hybrid system will not start while the charging cable is at tached to the
vehicle, even if the power switch is operated.
● If the charging cable is connected while the “READY” indicator is illumi-
nated, the hybrid system will stop automatically and driving wi ll not be possi-
ble.
● When the charging cable is connected to the vehicle, the shift position can-
not be changed from P to another position.
■ During charging
The followings occur, however, it does not indicate a malfuncti on.
● The charging starting time may differ depending on the state of the vehicle.
● During charging, the sound of the fan may be heard from the cha rging

charging cable is connected.
Also, charging will be stopped if the latch release button is pressed and held
for several seconds during charging. When restarting charging, reinsert the
charging connector after pulling it out, and check that the charging indicator
illuminates.
■ When the outside tempe rature is low or high
The level shown on the remaining charge display ( P. 216) may drop slightly
when the power switch is turned to ON mode, even if charging ha s been com-
pleted and the hybrid battery (traction battery) is fully charg ed. However, this
does not indicate a malfunction.
■ Charging time may increase
P. 126
■ While charging
When the power switch is turned to ON mode and the energy monit or dis-
plays, the charging connector is displayed on the energy monito r and the flow
of electricity during charging is displayed ( P. 208). Also, when the charging
