■When a door is unlocked while
using “My Room Mode”
The charging connector unlocks,
charging stops and “My Room Mode”
stops. In order to use “My Room Mode”
again, reconnect the AC charging cable
and start “My Room Mode” (P.164).
When using “My Room Mode” with pub-lic charging station, operation to start
charging using the charger may be
required again before starting “My Room
Mode”.
■Meter display during charging
If “My Room Mode” is not turned on for
approximately 100 seconds after the
power switch is turned on during
charging, the power switch will automat-
ically turn off.
■While using “My Room Mode”
Any of the following may occur.
●When the remaining charge of the
hybrid battery (traction battery)
reaches the lower limit, the air condi-
tioning system automatically turns off.
In this situation, the air conditioning
system cannot be used until the
remaining charge of the hybrid battery
(traction battery) increases. Turn the
power switch off and use “My Room
Mode” after the remaining charge of
the hybrid battery (traction battery) is
restored.
●When the outside temperature is low,
the heater output may be limited due
to the air conditioning system opera-
tion being restricted.
●Warning lights and indicators such as
electric power steering system warn-
ing light (yellow) and malfunction indi-
cator lamp may turn on, but this is not
a malfunction.
Also, when the surrounding area is
dark, the headlights are turned on.
(P.326)
■When a charging schedule is regis-
tered

case, press of the meter control
switches to display the setting screen of
“My Room Mode”, and then select “My
Room Mode”.
When “My Room Mode” is used while the hybrid battery (traction battery) is
fully charged, the electric power of the hybrid battery (traction battery) may be
consumed. In this case, charging may be performed again.
■When a message related to “My Room Mode” is displayed
When a message is displayed on the multi-information display while using or attempting to start “My Room Mode”,
take the following correction proce- dures.
●“Traction battery is too low for “My Room Mode””
There is insufficient remaining charge in
the hybrid battery (traction battery) for
starting “My Room Mode”.
Wait until the charge of the hybrid bat-
tery (traction battery) increases, then
start “My Room Mode”.
●““My Room Mode” has stopped due to low traction battery”
The remaining charge in the hybrid bat-
tery (traction battery) is insufficient.
Stop using “My Room Mode” and
charge the hybrid battery (traction bat-
tery).
●““My Room Mode” will stop when trac- tion battery is too low Reduce power usage to continue using “My Room
Mode””
The power consumption inside the vehi-
cle is greater than the power being
charged to the hybrid battery (traction
battery), and the remaining charge of
the hybrid battery (traction battery) is
low.*
• “My Room Mode” will end unless the
power consumption inside the vehicle is improved.• To continue using “My Room Mode”,
turn off the power of systems such as the air conditioning system and audio system to increase the remaining
charge of the hybrid battery (traction battery).*: The power balance status during “My
Room Mode” can be checked from the
remaining charge display screen for
the hybrid battery (traction battery)
displayed on the multi-information dis-
play. ( P.164)

When hybrid battery (traction battery)
warming control operates, the charging
schedules are ignored and charging
starts. In order to protect the hybrid bat-
tery (traction battery), allow charging to
continue.
Likely causeCorrection procedure
Charging end time does not match esti-
mated end time due to condition of power
source or outside temperature
If sudden changes in temperature or
changes in the condition of the power
source occur while charging, charging
may end earlier than the time estimated
by the system.
Likely causeCorrection procedure
“Climate Prep” or “Climate preparation” is
set to on
When “Climate Prep” or “Climate prepa-
ration” is set to on, the air conditioning
operates until the set departure time.
Therefore, charging may not complete by
the set time due to charging conditions.
To have the hybrid battery (traction bat-
tery) fully charged, allow charging to con-
tinue.
Charging end time does not match esti-
mated end time due to condition of power
source or outside temperature
If sudden changes in temperature or
changes in the condition of the power
source occur while charging, charging
may not end exactly at the time esti-
mated by the system.
