54 1-3. Charging
*: By using a smart phone, pre-climate operations and so forth can
be performed from a distant location. ( P. 58)
■ Important things to check be fore charging and pre-climate
operations (Remote Climate Control)
Before charging and pre-climate operations, always check that:
● The parking brake is securely set ( P. 216)
● The shift position is in P ( P. 206)
● All windows and doors are closed
● The motor compartment hood is securely closed
If the hood is open the electric cooling fans will not operate, raising
the temperature of the charger and traction battery. This may
increase charging time or cause charging to be aborted.
●All lights are turned off (For example, the headlights, emer-
gency flashers, interior lights, etc.)
If any lights are turned on, then these features will consume electric-
ity, and charging time will increase.
SystemDetails
Pre-climate
(Remote Climate
Control)*
The time when pre-climate operations are to be
completed by can be set for each day of the
week. Cabin temperature is adjusted before depar-
ture by performing climate control operations,
thereby reducing traction battery consumption
after departure. If these operations are per-
formed while the vehicle is plugged in, the
traction battery's power consumption is
reduced, increasing driving range. ( P. 66)
If the amount of charge remaining in the trac-
tion battery is 50% or less at the time pre-cli-
mate operations begin, pre-climate operations
will not be performed in order to preserve driv-
ing range.

1-3. Charging
1
Before driving
■
If charging has not been car ried out in a long time
The charging port cap's lever may get stuck and not open automatically
even if the knob is moved. If this occurs, push aside the release button and
open the cap by hand.
■ When the outside temperature is low or high
The level shown on the SOC gauge ( P. 218) may drop slightly when the
“POWER” switch is turned to ON mode, even if charging has been com-
pleted and the traction battery is fully charged. However, this does not indi-
cate a malfunction.
■ Charging in extremely cold temperatures
If the vehicle is parked in ambient temperatures below freezing, 240 V
charging is recommended.
If only a 120 V outlet is available, the following will improve your charge pro-
cess:
●Charge at mid-day (when it is warmest)
● Protect the vehicle from wind during charging.
If the vehicle is still too cold to charge, please contact your Toyota dealership
or tow it to a warmer charging location.
