Charging methods
XCharging from an external power source (P. 155)
This is a charging method used when charging from an AC socket
(220 V-240 V) with the charging cable equipped to the vehicle or
charging at a public charging station.
The charging start time (or departure time) and day can be set to carry
out charging using the charging schedule at the desired date and time.
(P. 166)
XUsing the hybrid battery (traction battery) charge mode
(P. 8 9 )
The plug-in hybrid system can be switched to hybrid battery (trac-
tion battery) charge mode to charge the hybrid battery (traction bat-
tery) using electricity generated by gasoline engine operation.
The maximum charge amount in the hybrid battery (traction battery)
charge mode is approximately 80% of the fully charged capacity for the
charging from an external power source.
XSolar charging system (if equipped) (P. 178)
In certain conditions, when the vehicle is parked, the hybrid battery
(traction battery) can be charged by using electricity generated by
the solar panel equipped to the roof of the vehicle.
The maximum charge amount of the solar charging system is approxi-
mately 90% of the fully charged capacity for the charging from an exter-
nal power source. (This does not mean the battery can be fully charged
in one day.)
The following methods can be used to charge the hybrid battery
(traction battery).

WARNING
QIf a safety system warning light does not come on
Should a safety system light such as the ABS and SRS warning li ght not
come on when you start the hybrid system, this could mean that these sys-
tems are not available to help protect you in an accident, whic h could result
in death or serious injury. Have the vehicle inspected by any a uthorized
Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer imme-
diately if this occurs.
NOTICE
Q To prevent damage to the engine and its components
The engine may be overheating if the high coolant temperature w arning
light comes on or flashes. In this case, immediately stop the v ehicle in a
safe place, and check the engine after it has cooled completely . (P. 703)

XEnergy monitor
The energy monitor can be used to check the vehicle drive status,
hybrid system operation status and energy regeneration status.
While charging from the external power source, the flow of electrical
energy while charging is displayed.
On vehicles with solar charging system, the approximate power genera-
tion level is also displayed.
When energy is flowing, an arrow appears and a bright point of light
moves to show the direction of the flow of energy. When energy is
not flowing, the bright point of light is not displayed.
OThe arrows from the image of the engine to that of the electric
motor (traction motor) or tires are displayed in red.
OThe arrow indicating energy consumption is displayed in yellow,
and the arrow indicating energy regeneration or charging is dis-
played in green. Also, the color around the image of the hybrid
battery (traction battery) is changed.
As an example, all arrows are shown in the illustration, but the actual
contents of the display will differ.

XHybrid System Indicator
The display changes according to accelerator pedal operation and
displays the current driving status and energy regeneration status.
The display contents of the Hybrid System Indicator are different in EV
mode and HV mode.
The Hybrid System Indicator can be displayed on the sub-screen of the
main display (P. 217) and the head-up display (if equipped)
(P. 255).

OThe current amount of the remaining hybrid battery (traction battery) is dis-
played in the Hybrid System Indicator or the sub-screen on the main display.
(P. 217)
• The remaining battery for EV driving in EV mode is displayed in green,
and the remaining battery used in HV mode is displayed in blue.
• The amount of the remaining battery displayed decrease as the vehicle is
driven and increase when the hybrid battery (traction battery) is charged,
electrical energy is regenerated using the regenerative braking (P. 93)
or electricity is generated by the gasoline engine.
• If the remaining battery is not displayed in green, HV mode is automati-
cally selected and EV mode cannot be used. To enable EV driving,
charge the hybrid battery (traction battery). (P. 111)
OThe amount of the hybrid battery (traction battery) in HV mode is automati-
cally controlled by the hybrid system. The amount of remaining hybrid battery
(traction battery) in HV mode may not reach the top line
* even if electrical
energy is regenerated using the regenerative braking (P. 93) or electricity
is generated by the gasoline engine. However, this does not indicate a mal-
function. Also, even if the display of the remaining hybrid battery (traction
battery) exceeds the top line, the display is shown in blue until the vehicle
returns to EV mode.
*: The position of the boundary line between EV mode and HV mode on the
display of the remaining hybrid battery (traction battery).
ODepending on the charging situation, when the display of the remaining
hybrid battery (traction battery) is shown during charging, charging continues
even after the display of the remaining hybrid battery (traction battery) shows
a fully charged state. However, this does not indicate a malfunction. Please
wait until charging is finished.The hybrid battery (traction battery)
