Step 1 Pull the charging connector toward you while pressing the latch release
button.
If the charging connector is
disconnected during charging (while
the charging indicator indicates the
vehicle is being charged), charging
will be interrupted.
Step 2 Attach the charging connector cap.
Firmly push the charging port cap
and charging port door, and check
that they are securely locked.
Step 3 Close the charging port cap, and then close the charging port door.
- Hold the body of the plug while
removing.
- Make sure to put the cable away immediately after disconnecting.
- When leaving the plug inserted, check the plug and connector once a month
for accumulation of dirt or dust.
Step 4 Remove the plug from the electrical receptacle when the charging
equipment will not be used for a long period of time.
Depending on the charge settings, the vehicle may not start charging just by
plugging in the charging cable. Use the navigation screen to set the charging and
Pre-climate/remote climate control schedules. Before either function starts, it is
recommended that:
-Parking brake is securely set with shift position in “P”
-All windows and doors are closed
-Engine hood is securely closed
-All lights are turned off
When the EV System is turned off, the screen changes to the charging and
Pre-climate settings screen. If no operations are performed for approximately 30
seconds, the screen turns off.

Pre-climate (Remote Climate Control)
Adjusting cabin temperature before driving reduces traction battery consumption
after departure, thereby increasing driving range. If the amount of charge
remaining in the traction battery is less than 50% at the time Pre-climate
operation is scheduled to begin, Pre-climate operations will not be performed in
order to preserve driving range.
The climate control system can be turned on before entering the vehicle by
setting the Pre-climate schedule or using the Smartphone Entune
® EV Remote
Climate application on a smartphone.
Pre-climate operations completion can be set for a specific time on each day of
the week.
Charging settings
The RAV4 EV may be charged immediately, or scheduled to charge at a specific
time each day.
Smartphone Entune® EV Applications
Drivers with a smartphone and active Entune® and Safety Connect® subscriptions
may remotely interact with several features of the RAV4 EV.

Confirming charge settings
The amount of charge remaining in the traction battery and charging/Pre-climate
schedule settings can be confirmed, and the schedule can be adjusted according
to your next departure time.
Step 1 Touch EV.
Step 2 Touch “Charge Summary.”
The next scheduled charge (if previously set) will also be shown on this screen. If
an earlier charge time is desired, a one-time departure may be scheduled here.
Step 3 Touch “Edit.”
Step 4 Touch “Yes.”
The previously scheduled charge
will be ignored until the one-time
departure is completed.
In the unlikely event that the electrical leakage detection function is not
operating properly, contact your Toyota dealer as soon as possible.
Check that it is operating properly by following the procedure below.
Step 1 Insert the charging cable into the electrical receptacle of the external power source.
Step 2 Press the test button on the CCID (Charging Circuit Interrupting Device).
Step 3 Press the reset button on the CCID (Charging Circuit Interrupting Device).
Turn off the error warning indicator. Charging cannot be carried out while the
error warning indicator is illuminated.
Charging can be continued by following the normal procedure. If not charging,
store the charging cable.
See the Owner’s Manual for important precautionary information.
