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
changes in the condition of the power
source occur while charging, charging may
end earlier than the time estimated by the
system.
Charging is not complete, even though it is time set in “Departure”
“Climate Prep” is set to “On”
When “Climate Prep” is set to “On”, the air
conditioning operates until the set departure
time. Therefore, charging may not complete
by the set time due to charging conditions.
To have the hybrid battery (traction battery)
fully charged, allow charging to continue.
Charging end time does not
match estimated end time
due to condition of power
source or outside tempera-
tureIf 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
