●After connecting the AC charging
cable, check that the charging indica -
tor of the charging port flashes ( →P.106)
●Do not use an socket that has a power cut off function (including a timer func -
tion)
Use an socket that constantly supplies electricity. For sockets where the
power is cut off due to a timer func -
tion, etc., charging may not be carried out according to plan if the power is
cut off during the set time.
■When the AC charging cable
remains connected to the vehicle
Even if multiple consecutive charging
schedules are registered, the next
charge will not be ca rried out according to the charging schedule until the AC
charging cable is removed and recon-
nected after charging completes. Also, when the hybrid battery (traction battery)
is fully charged, charging according to
the charging schedule will not be carried out.
■“Climate Prep”
●When the air condit ioning-linked set- ting is turned on, the air conditioning
operates until the se t departure time.
Therefore, the air conditioning will consume electricity and charging may
not complete by the set departure
time.
●If the hybrid battery (traction battery)
is fully charged, cha rging will not be carried out, even if the charging
schedule is set. However, if “Climate
Prep” is turned on, the air conditioning will operate only once when it nears
the time set in “De parture”. If this
occurs, the air conditioning will con -
sume electricity and the remaining charge of the hybrid battery (traction
battery) when departing may be
decreased.
●When the doors are unlocked, the air
conditioning system does not operate.
■When charging schedules are
ignored
When the following operations are per -
formed while the charging schedule is
on standby, charging schedule is tempo - rarily canceled and charging is started.
