2-2. Charging
Plug-in hybrid system
This vehicle has been designed to
allow charging from an external
power source using a AC charging
cable for exclusive use with stan -
dard household AC sockets.
However, the vehicle differs greatly
from standard household electrical
goods in the following ways, and
incorrect usage could cause fire or
electric shock, possibly leading to
death or serious injury.
The charging operation is
designed to ope rate at 8A-10A
continuously for the charge dura -
tion (approximately 9 hours).
( →P.127)
Charging can be conducted out-
doors.
To charge properly, follow the pro -
cedure after reading the explana -
tion below. Charging is intended to
be carried out by licensed drivers
only who properly understand the
charging procedure.
Do not allow children to use the
AC charging cable without
supervision. Also, keep the AC
charging cable out of reach of
infants.
When charging with a charger,
follow the procedures for using
each charger.
When charging using a public
charging facility, check the set -
ting of the charging schedule
function.
• When the charging schedule is regis -
tered, temporarily turn off the function
or turn “Charge Now” on. ( →P.145)
• When the charging schedule is set to
on, charging will not start even if the
AC charging cable is connected.
Also, charging fee may occur due to
connection of the A C charging cable.
Before charging, always check the
following items.
The parking brake is applied.
( →P.326)
Lights such as the headlights,
emergency flashers and interior
lights etc. are turned off.
If these light switche s are turned on,
then these features will consume elec-
tricity, and charging time will increase.
The power switch is turned to
OFF. ( →P.320)
Before charging, make sure that
WARNING
■When the AC charging cable is
connected to the vehicle
Do not operate the shift lever.
In the unlikely event that the AC
charging cable ha s been damaged,
the shift position may change from P to another positio n and the vehicle
could move, possibly leading to an
accident.

■Calendar settings
Current date and tim e information is
automatically set u sing GPS. However, if GPS calibration of clock is turned off in
the multimedia system s ettings, the date
needs to be set on t he multi-information display.
If the calendar settings check screen is
displayed when an attempt was made to register a charge schedule, check that
the correct date is set. If it is incorrect,
be sure to correct it.
If the calendar information is wrong, the
charging schedule function will not oper -
ate normally.
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”
Starts charging at the set time*1 and fin -
ishes charging when fully charged.*2
“Departure”
Starts charging to finish at the set
time.*3, 4
When this setting is selected, the air
conditioning-linked function can be
used.
*1: Charging schedule function is per -
formed in accordance with the clock
in the multi-information display.
Before registering the charging
schedule, check the clock settings to
the proper time.
*2: There might be a slight error in the
timing when charging starts due to
the state of the hy brid battery (trac-
tion battery).
*3: When the system d etermines that
there is no time to finish charging by
the set scheduled departure time, it
starts charging. Check the charging
schedules.
*4: If sudden changes in temperature or
changes in the condition of the
power source occur while charging,
charging may not end exactly at the
time estimated by the system.
■Repeated setting
The periodic charging schedule can
be set by select ing your desired
day of the week. (If no days are
selected, charging is only carried
out once.)
■Air conditioning-linked set -
ting (“Climate Prep”)
When the charging mode is set to
“Departure”, the vehicle air condi -
tioning system ( →P.452) can be set
to automatically operate* according
Using the charging
schedule function
Charging can be carried out at
the desired time by registering
the charging schedule. Also, it
is possible to set the charging
schedule to one’s prefer -
ences, such as having
charging complete by a certain
departure time or be carried
out at the same time on certain
days.

to the set time.
By adjusting the cabi n temperature in
advance, passengers can enjoy a
pleasant interior immediately after
entering the vehicle.
*: Operation starts approximately 20
minutes before the set departure
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 connected to the
vehicle. To start c harging without
changing the charging schedule
setting, turn “Charge Now” on to
temporarily cancel the charging
schedule and enable charging after
connecting the AC charging cable.*
*: If the charging connector is removed
during charging while the charging
schedule is registered and “Charge
Now” is on, “Charg e Now” turns off.
■Changing “Next Event”*1
It is possible to temporarily set the
time of the next charging schedule
without changing the registered
repeated setting.*2
*1: The “Next Event” refers to the clos -
est charging sched ule from the cur-
rent time among t he registered
charging schedules. Charging
schedule is performed based on the
“Next Event”.
*2: 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 “Ne xt Event”. (For
example, when “Nex t Event” is set
for 2 days later, e ven 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 reg-
istered on the multi-information dis -
play: →P.147

WARNING
■Cautions while performing the
setting operation
When performing the setting opera- tion while the hybrid system is oper -
ated, ensure that the vehicle is parked
in a place with adequate ventilation. In a closed area such as a garage,
exhaust gases including harmful car -
bon monoxide (CO) may collect and
enter the vehicle. This may lead to death or a serious health hazard.
NOTICE
■While performing the setting operation
When performing the setting opera-
tion while the hybrid system is stopped, be careful that the 12-volt
battery will not be discharged.

■Charging ends earlier than time set in “Departure”
■Charging is not complete, even though it is time set in “Departure”
■Charging does not start, even though it is time set in “Start”
When a door is opened with the
power switch off, after charging, a
message is displayed in the multi-
information display.
When this occurs, follow the instruc -
tions displayed on the screen.
Likely causeCorrection procedure
Charging end time doe s not match esti-
mated end time due to condition of power
source or outside temperature
If sudden changes in temperature or
changes in the condition of the power
source occur while charging, charging
may end earlier than t he time estimated
by the system.
Likely causeCorrection procedure
“Climate Prep” is set to on
When “Climate Prep” is set to on, the air
conditioning operates until the set depar-
ture time.
Therefore, charging may not complete by
the set time due to charging conditions.
To have the hybrid b attery (traction bat-
tery) fully charged, allow charging to con -
tinue.
Charging end time doe s not match esti-
mated end time due to condition of power
source or outside temperature
If sudden changes in temperature or
changes in the condition of the power
source occur while charging, charging
may not end exactly at the time esti-
mated by the system.
