Pre-climate (Remote Climate Control) 
Adjusting cabin temperature before driving reduces traction battery consumption 
after departure, thereby increasing driving range. If the amount of charge 
remaining in the traction battery is less than 50% at the time Pre-climate 
operation is scheduled to begin, Pre-climate operations will not be performed in 
order to preserve driving range.
The climate control system can be turned on before entering the vehicle by 
setting the Pre-climate schedule or using the Smartphone Entune
® EV Remote 
Climate application on a smartphone.
Pre-climate operations completion can be set for a specific time on each day of 
the week.
Charging settings
The RAV4 EV may be charged immediately, or scheduled to charge at a specific 
time each day.
Smartphone Entune® EV Applications
Drivers with a smartphone and active Entune® and Safety Connect® subscriptions 
may remotely interact with several features of the RAV4 EV.
For details, please refer to http://www.toyota.com/entune or call
