Charging schedule

●

The charge schedule cannot be set while driving.

●

A maximum of 15 charge schedules can be registered.

■

To make sure that the charging schedule function operates correctly

Check the following items.

●

Adjust the clock to the correct time (



P. 197)

●

The calendar is set to the correct date (



P. 199)

●

Check that the power switch is turned off

●

After registering the charge schedule, connect the charging cable
The charging start time is determined based on the charge schedule at the
time that the charging cable was connected.

●

After  connecting  the  charging  cable,  check  that  the  charging  indicator
flashes (



P. 114)

●

Do not use an outlet that has a power cut off function (including a timer func-
tion)
Use  an  outlet  that  constantly  supplies  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 charging cable remains connected to the vehicle

Even  if  multiple  consecutive  charge  schedules  are  registered,  the  next
charge  will  not  be  carried  out  according  to  the  charging  schedule  until  the
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  conditioning
operates until the set departure time. Therefore, the air conditioning will con-
sume electricity and charging may not complete by the set departure time.

●

If the hybrid battery (traction battery) is fully charged, charging will not be
carried out, even if the charge schedule is set. However, if “Climate Prep” is
turned on, the air conditioning will operate 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.

■

P. 432)

• When the BSM function is enabled on the 

 screen of the multi-infor-

mation display, the power switch is turned to ON mode.

If the system is functioning correctly, the BSM outside rear view mirror indi-
cators will turn off after a few seconds.
If the BSM outside rear view  mirror  indicators do not illuminate or do not
turn off, there may be a malfunction in the system.
If this occurs, have the vehicle inspected by your Toyota dealer.

●

side rear view mirrors.

●

In  order  to  confirm  operation,  the  BSM
outside rear view mirror indicators illumi-
nate in the following situations:
• When  the  power  switch  is  in  ON

mode,  the  BSM  function  is  enabled

mation display.

WARNING

■

If a safety system warning light does not come on

Should a  safety  system light  such as  the ABS and  SRS  warning  light  not
come on when you start the hybrid system, this could mean that these sys-
tems are not available to help protect you in an accident, which could result
in death or serious injury. Have the vehicle inspected by your Toyota dealer
immediately if this occurs.

NOTICE

■

To prevent damage to the engine and its components

The  engine  may  be  overheating  if  the  high  coolant  temperature  warning
light  comes  on  or  flashes.  In  this  case,  immediately  stop  the  vehicle  in  a
safe place, and check the engine after it has cooled completely. (
