■When charging
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause an unexpected accident, resulting in death or
serious injury.
● Connect to a power source suitable for charging. ( P. 132)
● Before charging, check that the charging inlet does not have deformations,
damage, corrosion, dust or other foreign materials such as snow or ice
adhering to it. If anything is adhering to the inlet, be sure to completely
remove the material before connecting the charging connector.

● Make sure that the charging cable, plug and socket are free of foreign mat-
ter and not deformed or damaged.
● Only use outlets where the plug can be securely inserted.
● Do not charge if the charging cable is coiled or bundled.
● Wrapping 120 V charging cable while in-use is not recommended b ecause
cable may overheat. Failure to rewrap charging cable when not in-use
could result in strangulation or tripping hazard.
● Do not touch the terminals of the charging connector and chargi ng inlet
with a sharp metal objects (needles etc.) or hands, or short th em with for-
eign objects.

WARNING
■If the error warning indicator on the CCID (Charging Circuit In terrupt-
ing Device) illuminates or flashes during charging
There may be an electrical leakage in the power source path, or there may
be a malfunction in the charging cable or CCID (Charging Circuit Interrupt-
ing Device). Refer to P. 119 and follow the correction procedure. If the error
warning indicator does not turn off even after performing the correction pro-
cedure, immediately stop charging, remove the charging cable an d contact
your Toyota dealer. Continuing to charge the vehicle in that condition may
lead to unforeseen accidents or serious injury.
■ After charging
Remove the plug if it will not be used for a long time.
Dirt and dust may accumulate plug or outlet, which could cause a malfunc-
tion or fire, possibly leading to death or serious injury.
■ Onboard traction battery charger

sure to observe the following precautions regarding the onboard traction
battery charger. Failure to observe these precautions may resul t in death or
serious injury such as burns and electric shocks.
● The onboard traction battery charger is hot during charging. Do not touch
the onboard traction battery charger, as doing so may result in burns.
● Do not disassemble, repair or modify the onboard traction battery charger.
When the onboard traction battery charger needs to be repaired, consult
your Toyota dealer.

NOTICE
■Using private power generator
Do not use private power generators as a power source for charg ing.
Doing so may make charging unstable, the voltage may be insuffi cient, and
the error warning indicator on the CCID (Charging Circuit Inter rupting
Device) of the charging cable may flash.
■ Charging station
Due to the environment in which the power equipment is located, charging
may be unstable due to noise, the voltage may be insufficient, and the error
warning indicator on the CCID (Charging Circuit Interrupting Device) of the
charging cable may flash.

Using the charging schedule function
When registering the charge schedule, the following settings ca n be
changed.
■Select the charging mode
One of the two following c harging modes can be selected.
*1: Charging schedule function is performed in accordance with the clock in
the instrument cluster. Before registering the charge schedule, check the
clock settings to the proper time.
*2: There might be a slight error in the timing when charging star ts due to the
state of the hybrid battery (traction battery).
■
Repeated setting
The periodic charging schedule can be set by selecting your
desired day of the week.
■Air conditioning-linked s etting (“Climate Prep”)
When the charging mode is set to “Departure”, the vehicle air c ondi-
tioning system ( P. 508, 520) can be set to automatically operate*
according to the set time.
By adjusting the cabin temperature in advance, passengers can e njoy a
pleasant interior immediately after entering the vehicle.
*: Operation starts approximately 10 minutes before the set depar ture time.
Charging can be carried out at the desired time by registering
the charge schedule. Also, it is possible to set the charging
schedule to one’s preferences, such as having charging com-
plete by a certain departure time or be carried out at the same
time on certain days.
Settings of the charging schedule function

■Turning “Charge Now” on and off
If even one charge schedule is registered, charging does not start
until the set time, even if the charging cable is connected to the
vehicle. To start charging with out changing the charge schedule
setting, turn “Charge Now” on to temporarily cancel the charge
schedule and enable charging afte r connecting the charging cable.
■Changing “Next Charging Event”*1
It is possible to temporarily set the time of the next schedule d
charge without changing the r egistered repeated setting.
*2
*1: The “Next Charging Event” refers to the closest charge schedul e from the
current time among the registered charge schedules. Charging schedule is
performed based on the “Next Charging Event”.
*2: When “Next Charging Event” is changed, the current charge sche dule will
be temporarily ignored and charging will not be carried out unt il the time
specified by “Next Charging Event”. (For example, when “Next Ch arging
Event” is set for 2 days later, even if items are registered on the charge
schedule, charging will not be carried out until the time speci fied by “Next
Charging Event”.)
The charge schedule can be reg-
istered on the multi-information
display or 11.6-inch display (if
equipped).
● Multi-information display opera-
tion: P. 162
● 11.6-inch display operation (if
equipped): P. 171

■Charging schedule
●The charge schedule cannot be set while driving.
● A maximum of 15 charge schedules can be registered.
■ To make sure that the charging schedule function operates corre ctly
Check the following items.
● Adjust the clock to the correct time ( P. 197)
● The calendar is set to the correct date ( P. 199)
● 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. 115)
● Do not use an outlet that has a power cut off function (including 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 charging schedu le until the
charging cable is removed and reconnected after charging comple tes. Also,
when the hybrid battery (traction battery) is fully charged, ch arging according
to the charging schedule 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.
● When the doors are unlocked, the air conditioning system does n ot operate.
■ Smartphone-linked operation (vehicles with 11.6-inch display)
After applying to Entune App Suite, it is possible to use the s martphone appli-
cation to change charging schedule settings.
