■Air conditioning-linked set-
ting (“Climate Prep”)
When the charging mode is set
to “Departure”, the vehicle air
conditioning system ( P.396)
can be set to automatically oper-
ate
* according to the set time.
By adjusting the cabin temperature
in advance, passengers can enjoy
a pleasant interior immediately after
entering the vehicle.
*: Operation starts approximately 20 minutes before the set depar-
ture time.
■Turning “Charge Now” on
and off
If even one charging schedule is
registered, charging does not
start until the set time, even if
the AC charging cable is con-
nected to the vehicle. To start
charging without changing the
charging schedule setting, turn
“Charge Now” on to temporarily
cancel the charging schedule
and enable charging after con-
necting the AC charging cable.
■Changing “Next Event”*1
It is possible to temporarily set
the time of the next charging
schedule without changing the
registered repeated setting.
*2
*1: The “Next Event” refers to the closest charging schedule from
the current time among the regis-
tered charging schedules.
Charging schedule is performed
based on the “Next Event”.
*2: When “Next Event” is changed, the current charging schedule
will be temporarily ignored and
charging will not be carried out
until the time specified by “Next
Event”. (For example, when
“Next Event” is set for 2 days
later, even if items are registered
on the charging schedule,
charging will not be carried out
until the time specified by “Next
Event”.)
The charging schedule can be
registered on the multi-informa-
tion display or audio system
screen (vehicles with Premium
Audio).
 Multi-information display
operation:  P.133
 Audio system screen opera-
tion (vehicles with Premium

■To make sure that the charging
schedule function operates cor-
rectly
Check the following items.
●A d j u s t t h e c l o c k t o t h e c o r r e c t t i m e
(  P.169)
●The calendar is set to the correct
date ( P.177)
●Check that the power switch is
turned off
●After registering the charging
schedule, connect the AC
charging cable
The charging sta rt time is deter-
mined based on the charging
schedule at the time that the AC
charging cable was connected.
●After connecting the AC charging
cable, check that the charging
indicator of the charging port
flashes ( P.100)
●Do not use an ou tlet that has a
power cut off function (including a
timer function)
Use an outlet that constantly sup-
plies electricity. For outlets where
the power is cut off due to a timer
function, 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 vehi-
cle
Even if multiple consecutive
charging schedules are registered,
the next charge will not be carried
out according to the charging
schedule until the AC charging
cable is removed and reconnected
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 conditioning-linked
setting is turned on, the air condi-
tioning operates until the set departure time. Therefore, the air
conditioning will co
nsume electric-
ity and charging may not complete
by the set departure time.
●If the hybrid batte ry (traction bat-
tery) is fully charged, charging will
not be carried o ut, even if the
charging schedule is set. How-
ever, if “Climate Prep” is turned
on, the air conditioning will oper-
ate only once when it nears the
time set in “Departure”. If this
occurs, the air conditioning will
consume 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.
■Smartphone-linked operation
(vehicles with Premium Audio)
After applying to Toyota Apps, it is
possible to use the smartphone
application to change charging
schedule settings.

performed while the charging
schedule is on standby, charging
schedule is temporarily canceled
and charging is started.
●When the Remote Air Condition-
ing System ( P.405) is operated
●When turning “My Room Mode”
on ( P.144)
●When turning “Charge Now” on

3885-6. Driving tips
Perform the following according
to the driving conditions:
Do not try to forcibly open a
window or move a wiper that
is frozen. Pour warm water
over the frozen area to melt
the ice. Wipe away the water
immediately to prevent it from
freezing.
 To ensure proper operation of
the climate control system
fan, remove any snow that
has accumulated on the air
inlet vents in front of the wind-
shield.
 Check for and remove any
excess ice or snow that may
have accumulated on the
exterior lights, vehicle’s roof,
chassis, around the tires or on
the brakes.
 Remove any snow or mud
from the bottom of your shoes
before getting in the vehicle. Accelerate the vehicle slowly,
keep a safe distance between
you and the vehicle ahead, and
drive at a reduced speed suit-
able to road conditions.

Park the vehicle and move
the shift lever to P without set-
ting the parking brake. The
parking brake may freeze up,
preventing it from being
released. If the vehicle is
parked without setting the
parking brake, make sure to
block the wheels.
Failure to do so may be dan-
gerous because it may cause
the vehicle to move unexpect-
edly, possibly leading to an
accident.
When the parking brake is in
automatic mode, release the
parking brake after shifting
the shift lever to P. ( P.290)
 If the vehicle is left parked
with the brakes damp in cold
temperatures, there is a pos-
sibility of the brakes freezing.
 If the vehicle is parked without
setting the parking brake,
confirm that the shift lever
cannot be moved out of P
*.
*: The shift lever will be locked if it is
attempted to be sh ifted from P to
any other position without
NOTICE
■Repairing or replacing snow
tires
Request repairs or replacement of
snow tires from your Toyota
dealer or legitimate tire retailers.
This is because the removal and
attachment of snow tires affects
the operation of the tire pressure
warning valves and transmitters.

This information has been pre-
pared in accordance with regu-
lations issued by the National
Highway Traffic Safety Adminis-
tration of the U.S. Department of
Transportation.
It provides the purchasers
and/or prospective purchasers
of Toyota vehicles with informa-
tion on uniform tire quality grad-
ing.
Your Toyota dealer will help answer
any questions you may have as you
read this information.
■DOT quality grades
All passenger vehicle tires must
conform to Federal Safety
Requirements in addition to
these grades. Quality grades
can be found where applicable on the tire sidewall between
tread shoulder and maximum
section width.
For example: Treadwear 200 Trac-
tion AA Temperature A
■Treadwear
The treadwear grade is a com-
parative rating based on the
wear rate of the tire when tested
under controlled conditions on a
specified government test
course.
For example, a tire graded 150
would wear one and a half (1 - 1/2)
times as well on the government
course as a tire graded 100.
The relative performance of tires
depends upon the ac tual conditions
of their use. Performance may dif-
fer significantly from the norm due
to variations in dri ving habits, ser-
vice practices and differences in
road characteristics and climate.
■Traction AA, A, B, C
The traction grades, from high-
est to lowest, are AA, A, B and
C, and they represent the tire’s
ability to stop on wet pavement
as measured under controlled
conditions on specified govern-
ment test surfaces of asphalt
and concrete.
A tire marked C may have poor
traction performance.
Warning: The traction grade
assigned to this tire is based on
braking (straight ahead) traction
tests and does not include corner-
ing (turning) traction.
