Charging messages are shown on the multi-information display
when: the traction battery is bei ng charged using the charging cable,
the driver's door is opened, and th e “POWER” switch is turned to ON
mode after charging has been comp leted (when both charging indica-
tor lights illuminate).
If one of the messages is displayed, follow the correction procedures.

Charging was aborted
due to low traction bat-
tery temperature.Wait for battery warm-
up to be completed.
Pre-climate operations
were aborted due to the
amount of charge
remaining in the traction
battery being low.
Charge the vehicle.
(P. 53)
Pre-climate operations
were aborted due to a
door being opened.Reset the pre-climate
settings or restart oper-
ations using a smart
phone. ( P. 57, 58)
■ Charging Message Details
Depending on operation conditions, the details of a message shown on the
multi-information display and actual vehicle conditions may differ (for exam-
ple the previous condition may be shown). However, the following are not a
malfunction:
If “Charging Not Available Due to IG On turn IG Off to Charge” is shown on
the multi-information display, the message may still be displayed even after
the “POWER” switch is turned off once, the charging cable is reconnected
and the “POWER” switch is turned to ON mode again. However, if the charg-
ing indicator lights are illuminated or flashing ( P. 63), charging has recom-
menced correctly.
If “Canceled” is shown on the multi-in formation display, pre-climate opera-
tions stopped partway through due to the system judging that 15 minutes of
pre-climate operations was unnecessary . For example, soon after pre-cli-
mate operations started, the cabin temperature reached the set temperature
and pre-climate operations were stopped early.
When pre-climate has completed operations normally, “Complete” is shown
on the multi-information display.

If the EV (Electric Vehicle) system will not start
Reasons for the EV system not star ting vary depending on the situa-
tion. Check the following and pe rform the appropriate procedure:

● The electronic key may not be functioning properly. ( P. 468)
● There may be a malfunction in the immobilizer system.
( P. 149)

problem such as an open circuit or a blown fuse. However,
depending on the type of malf unction, an interim measure is
available to start the EV system. ( P. 385)
● There may be a malfunction in th e P position control system.*
(  P. 203)
*: It may not be possible to shift the shift position from P to other posi-
tions.
■The interior lights and headlights are dim, or the horn does
not sound or sounds at a low volume.
One of the following may be the cause of the problem:
●The 12-volt battery may be discharged. ( P. 470)
● The 12-volt battery terminal c onnections may be loose or cor-
roded.

466 5-2. Steps to take in an emergency

Push and hold the “POWER” switch for about 15 seconds
while depressing the brake pedal firmly.
Even if the EV system can be st arted using the above steps, the sys-
tem may be malfunctioning. Have th e vehicle checked by your Toyota
dealer.

472 5-2. Steps to take in an emergency
■Starting the EV system when the 12-volt battery is discharged
The EV system cannot be started by push-starting.
■ To prevent 12-volt battery discharge
●Turn off the headlights and the navigation system while the EV system is
off.
● Turn off any unnecessary electrical components when the vehicle is run-
ning at a low speed for an extended period, such as in heavy traffic.
■ When the 12-volt battery is removed or discharged
●The EV system may not start. (P. 363)
● If the 12-volt battery discharges while the shift position is in P, it may not
be possible to shift the shift position to other positions.
In this case, the vehicle cannot be moved without lifting both front wheels
because the front wheels will be locked. ( P. 413)
● The power windows must be initialized. ( P. 147)
■ Charging the 12-volt battery
The electricity stored in the 12-volt battery will discharge gradually even
when the vehicle is not in use, due to natural discharge and the draining
effects of certain electrical appliances. If the vehicle is left for a long time, the
12-volt battery may discharge, and the EV system may be unable to start.
(The 12-volt battery recharges automatically while the EV system is operat-
ing.)
