nected after set time
Connect the AC charging connector
before the time set in “Start” or “Start
at set time”.
When the charging mode is set to
“Start-Stop” or “Start and stop at set
times”, the hybrid battery (traction
battery) will charge even if the start
time has passed, if the AC charging
connector is connected before the
stop time.
Likely causeCorrection procedure
Smartphone is outside its coverage
area
Check the signal strength. If the
smartphone is outside its coverage
area, move to a place with a better
signal.
Likely causeCorrection procedure

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
instructions displayed on the
screen.
AC charging connector was removed
and reinserted while charging indica-
tor of the charging port was flashing
If the AC charging connector is
removed and reinserted while the
charging indicator is flashing, the
charging schedule is canceled
( P.118).
Temporarily remove the AC charging
connector, and then reconnect it.
Outside temperature is low and
hybrid battery (traction battery)
warming control ( P.109) operated
(Alaska and Canada only)
 When hybrid battery (traction bat-
tery) warming control operates, the
charging schedules are ignored
and charging starts. In order to
protect the hybrid battery (traction
battery), allow charging to con-
tinue.
 After the 12-volt battery is removed
and reconnected, the charging
schedule setting may be disabled
due to the initial setting of the tem-
perature control system for the 12-
volt battery, even when the outside
temperature is not low. In this
case, after driving a few times, the
system initial settings will be com-
pleted and the charging schedule
settings will be enabled when the
outside temperature is not low.

■If “Charging Stopped Due to Pulled Charging Connector” is
shown
*: Electricity is consumed when operating “Battery Heater”. (P.108)
Likely causeCorrection procedure
AC charging connector is removed
while AC charging
When the AC charging connector is
removed while AC charging,
charging stops. If you want to fully
charge the hybrid battery (traction
battery), reconnect the AC charging
connector.After the hybrid battery (traction bat-
tery) is fully charged, the AC
charging connector is removed while
the hybrid battery (traction battery) is
being recharged again because
electricity-consuming functions
* have
been used and the remaining charge
is now reduced.
AC charging connector is not
securely connected
Check the connection status of the
AC charging connector.
 When connecting the AC charging
connector, make su re not to touch
the latch release button. Insert the
AC charging connector securely
until you hear a click. The AC

 After AC connecting the charging
connector, check that the latch
release button is not pressed and
the charging indicator of the
charging port is turned on.
If charging cannot be carried out,
even though the proper procedures
were followed, have the vehicle
inspected by your Toyota dealer.

■If “Charging Complete Limited Due to Battery Temp” is
shown
■If “Charging Stopped Check Charging Source” is shown
Likely causeCorrection procedure
Charging was stopped to protect the
hybrid battery (traction battery) as it
continued to remain hot for a certain
period of time.Allow the hybrid battery (traction bat-
tery) to cool down and perform
charging again if the charging
amount has not reached the desired
amount.
Likely causeCorrection procedure
Problem in power supply from exter-
nal power source
Check the following items.
 The plug is secu rely inserted.
 Extension cord is not used and
electrical outlet is not overloaded.
 The remote switch is not off.
 Connected to a dedicated power
line.
 Power outage has occurred or not.
 The power indicator on the CCID
(Charging Circuit Interrupting
Device) is illuminated.
 The circuit breakers have not
tripped.
If all of the above conditions are met,
the electrical outlet may be malfunc-
tioning. Contact an electrician and
request an inspection.
Furthermore, if the error warning
indicator on the CCID (Charging Cir-
cuit Interrupting Device) is flashing,
there may be electrical leakage.
Contact your Toyota dealer.
If charging cannot be performed,
even though there is no problem with
the power source path, there may be
a malfunction in the system. Have
the vehicle inspected by your Toyota
dealer.

Power is being consumed by electri-
cal components of vehicle
Check the following items, and then
carry out charging again.
If the headlights and audio are
turned on, turn them off.

Malfunction occurred in charging
systemHave the vehicle inspected by your
Toyota dealer.
Likely causeCorrection procedure
The Hybrid battery (traction battery)
warming control was operated
(  P.109)
When the hybrid battery (traction
battery) warming control operates,
the charging schedule is not used
and charging is performed.
This is a control to protect the hybrid
battery (traction battery), and not a
