2-2. Charging
■Searching charging stations (vehicles with 11.6-inch display)
After applying to Entune, it is possible to use the smartphone application to
search the nearby charging stations.
For details about Entune, refer to http://www.toyota.com/entune/.
Information related to charging can be displayed and checked on the
vehicle’s multi-inform ation display or 11.6-inch display (if eq uipped).
Refer to P. 252 for details on the screen display for the 11.6- inch display (if
equipped).
■
While charging
When any door is opened
during charging, the current
charging condition and remain-
ing time until charging is com-
plete can be checked.
■After charging is complete
After charging is complete, the
first time that the hybrid system
is started, a message detailing
the results of the charging is
displayed. Also, a message is
displayed if an operation that
cannot be performed or a situa-

Plug-in hybrid system
■Timer settings
A maximum of 15 charge schedules can be registered.
■ To make sure that the charging timer function operates correctl y
Check the following items.
● Adjust the clock to the correct time ( P. 185)
● The calendar is set to the correct date ( P. 186)
● Check that the power switch is turned off
● After registering the charge schedule, connect the charging cable
The charging start time is determined based on the charge sched ule at the
time that the charging cable was connected.
● After connecting the charging cable, check that the charging indicator
flashes ( P. 106)
● Do not use an outlet that has a power cut off function (includi ng a timer func-
tion)
Use an outlet that constantly supplies electricity. For outlets where the
power is cut off due to a timer function, etc., charging may no t be carried
out according to plan if the power is cut off during the set ti me.
■ When the charging cable remains connected to the vehicle
Even if multiple consecutive charge schedules are registered, t he next
charge will not be carried out according to the timer until the charging cable is
removed and reconnected after charging completes. Also, when th e hybrid
battery (traction battery) is fully charged, charging according to the timer will
not be carried out.
■ “Climate Prep”
●When the air conditioning-linked setting is turned on, the air conditioning
operates until the set departure time. Therefore, the air condi tioning will con-
sume electricity and charging may not complete by the set depar ture time.
● If the hybrid battery (traction battery) is fully charged, char ging will not be
carried out, even if the charge schedule is set. However, if “Climate Prep” is
turned on, the air conditioning will operate only once when it nears the time
set in “Departure”. If this occurs, the air conditioning will c onsume electricity
and the remaining charge of the hybrid battery (traction batter y) when
departing may be decreased.
■ Smartphone-linked operation (vehicles with 11.6-inch display)
After applying to Entune, it is possible to use the smartphone application to
change charging timer settings.
For details about Entune, refer to http://www.toyota.com/entune/.

Charging ends earlier than time set in “Departure”
Charging end time does not match
estimated end time due to condition
of power source or outside tempera-
tureIf sudden changes in temperature or
