ELECTRIC VEHICLE SYSTEM
Starting the EV System
The RAV4 EV uses electricity in a rechargeable traction battery to power the 
electric motor. The driving range is extended by using regenerative braking to 
store electricity in the traction battery. This technology is clean and has a low 
impact on the environment by not emitting exhaust such as CO
2 or NOX during 
operation.
Tips for reducing battery consumption
-Keep the EV System indicator needle within the ECO area.
-Drive in normal mode.
-When possible, avoid driving on steep inclines. 
-Avoid driving at speeds that are higher than necessary, especially on the highway.
-When possible, avoid sudden stops to maximize regenerative braking energy.
-Minimize use of Air Conditioning and heating; the seat heater may also be used to 
supplement heating.
-Maintain recommended tire pressure and avoid carrying unnecessary luggage.
-Utilize the Pre-climate function to warm or cool cabin before driving.
Electric Vehicle SystemRange Map screen
The driving area possible on the current charge level can be displayed as a 
reference, as can charge stations in the surrounding area.
Refer to the  Owner’s Manual  for more details.
(1) Depress the brake pedal, and 
press the “POWER” switch 
while in Park.
(2) After a few seconds the  “READY” light comes on and a 
beep sounds.

Step 6 Insert the charging cable connector into the charging port.
- Do not press the latch release button when inserting the connector.
- Align with the guide position shown  on underside of the charging 
connector, and push it in straight 
and firmly until it clicks. Confirm 
connector is securely locked.
- The plug-in indicator on the meter  illuminates in green if correctly 
plugged in. Incorrect plug-in results 
in a yellow plug-in indicator.
- If no schedule is set, or the charge  immediately function is selected, 
charging will begin by simply 
plugging in the charging cable.
- If EV System is on when the vehicle  is plugged in, the READY indicator 
will turn off and a message will show 
in the Multi-Information Display.
Step 7 Check the status of the charging indicator.
Ligh t ALight B
The charging indicator consists of two lights that display charging status by 
illuminating, flashing and turning off as follows:
The indicator lights will not flash or turn on if the charging cable is not 
connected properly. During charging, current charging status and the estimated 
time until charge completion can be checked on the Multi-Information Display or 
navigation display.

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  
1-800-331-4331.
