■When leaving the vehicle
To prevent vehicle theft and to increase the efficiency of pre-climate opera- tion, check that all windows are closed. ■Amount of time required for charging
The amount of time required to fully charge the traction battery varies according to a number of factors, such as the amount of charge remaining in the traction battery, the power source being used, the charge settings, ambi- ent temperature, battery temperature and so forth. Only use the following times as a guide to estimate charging time. The esti- mated times are to fully charge a completely discharged battery in normal charge mode or extended charge mode.

■During charging
●The surface of the CCID (Charging Circuit Interrupting Device) may
become hot, but this does not indicate a malfunction.
●Depending on radio wave conditions, interference may be heard on the
radio.
■If charging has been interrupted
If charging is interrupted before the traction battery is fully charged (before both charging indicator lights illuminate), the EV system cannot be started and the shift position cannot be shifted from P for approximately 6 seconds. Start the EV system after 6 seconds have elapsed.
■Charging time may increase
In the following situations, charging time may become longer than normal: ●In very hot or very cold temperatures. ●The vehicle is consuming a lot of electricity, for example, when pre-cli-
mate is used.
●There is a power outage during charging. ●There is an interruption in the electrical supply. ●There is a drop in the voltage of your panel’s AC supply. ●The charge in the 12-volt battery is low, for example due to the vehicle
being left unused for a long period of time.
79
1-3. Charging
■Capacity reduction of the traction battery
The capacity of the traction battery will decline gradually with normal use over the life of the vehicle. The rate at which it declines is dependant on a number of factors, including environmental conditions and the way the vehi- cle is used. By observing the following precautions, battery capacity decline can be suppressed. ●Avoid parking the vehicle for prolonged periods in areas with a high tem- perature under direct sunlight when the traction battery is fully charged. When storing the vehicle for prolonged periods, it is recommended to park the vehicle in a shaded area or a cool garage. This helps minimize traction battery capacity decline.
●When not driving long distances, it is recommended to charge using nor-
mal charge mode to help minimize traction battery capacity decline. (P. 58, 72)
●Regular use of the scheduled charging function helps mitigate battery
capacity decline by avoiding storage at high SOC.

■When not using the vehicle for an extended period of time
In order to preserve the traction battery, Toyota recommends plugging in the vehicle whenever it is not in use. Pre-climate operations will occur while the amount of charge remaining in the traction battery is more than 50% at the time pre-climate operations begin. If the schedule is left set, pre-climate operations will continue to func- tion up to the maximum of 15 minutes even if the vehicle is not used for extended periods of time. Because this uses energy from the traction bat- tery, temporarily suspend the pre-climate schedule (smart phone exclusive setting P. 58) or delete the pre-climate schedule, if the vehicle is not being regularly used. When using navigation screen operations, only canceling the schedule is available. Because the schedule will need to be set once again when it is used next time, Toyota recommends using a smart phone and temporarily suspending the schedule.
■If the amount of charge remaining in the traction battery becomes low
while driving The driving power restriction output control warning light illuminates and driving range is extended by automatically restricting driving power and air conditioning system operations. Using the navigation system, promptly search for the closest charging station and charge the vehicle. If the traction battery fully discharges, driving will not be possible. For information on how to search for a charging station, refer to the “Naviga- tion System Owner's Manual”.
■Charging schedule confirmation display after switching the EV system
off The current charging schedule will be displayed for a while after the EV sys- tem is turned off. To change the charging schedule, set the schedule using the navigation system’s screen. (P. 64, 70)

■Pre-climate operations automatic shut-off
Pre-climate will automatically shut off under the following conditions: ●After about 15 minutes have passed since operations began ●If any one of the operating conditions are not met ●If there is only a slight difference between the air conditioning set temper-
ature and the inside temperature.
●When a door is opened.
■While pre-climate is operating
●The effectiveness of the pre-climate operations may differ according to outside temperature. Pre-climate operations may be unable to reach the set temperature during very cold or very hot weather.
●Sometimes during normal operation of the pre-climate schedule, the electric fan may spin and an operating noise may be heard. However, this does not indicate a malfunction.
■Safety functions
●For safety purposes, the EV system cannot be started while the charging cable is connected to the vehicle, even if the “POWER” switch is oper- ated. (P. 443)
●If the charging cable is connected while the “READY” indicator light is illuminated, the EV system will stop automatically and driving will not be possible. (P. 443)
●When the charging cable is connected to the vehicle, the shift position
cannot be shifted out of P.
●For safety reasons, even if the charging cable is connected, charging will
not start while the latch release button is being pressed.
However, if the latch release button is pressed and held for a few seconds or more while charging, charging will be canceled. To recommence charging, reinsert the charging cable.

■If charging has not been carried out in a long time
The charging port cap's lever may get stuck and not open automatically even if the knob is moved. If this occurs, push aside the release button and open the cap by hand.
■When the outside temperature is low or high
The level shown on the SOC gauge (P. 218) may drop slightly when the “POWER” switch is turned to ON mode, even if charging has been com- pleted and the traction battery is fully charged. However, this does not indi- cate a malfunction.
■Charging in extremely cold temperatures
If the vehicle is parked in ambient temperatures below freezing, 240 V charging is recommended. If only a 120 V outlet is available, the following will improve your charge pro- cess: ●Charge at mid-day (when it is warmest) ●Protect the vehicle from wind during charging. If the vehicle is still too cold to charge, please contact your Toyota dealership or tow it to a warmer charging location.

■Precautions for the pre-climate
Do not use pre-climate if people are in the vehicle. Even when pre-climate is used, the temperature inside the vehicle may become very high or very low due to features such as the automatic shut-off. Do not leave children and/or pets inside the vehicle. ●When in the sun, the temperature inside a vehicle with all its windows
closed may rise rapidly, possibly causing heat stroke or dehydration.
●When in cold weather, the temperature inside the vehicle may drop rapidly,
possibly causing hypothermia.
Both of the above cases can lead to a serious health hazard or even death.
■Handling the traction battery
No part of the traction battery can be repaired by you or a non-Toyota techni- cian. Never open the traction battery or perform any modifications to it. If you find a malfunction with the battery, always contact your Toyota dealer.

■When required to leave a key to the vehicle with a parking attendant
Lock the glove box as circumstances demand. (P. 297) Remove the mechanical key for your own use and provide the attendant with the electronic key only.
■Key number plate
Keep the plate in a safe place such as your wallet, not in the vehicle. In the event that a key is lost, a new key can be made by your Toyota dealer using the key number plate. (P. 467)
■When riding in an aircraft
When bringing a key with wireless remote control function onto an aircraft, make sure you do not press any buttons on the key while inside the aircraft cabin. If you are carrying the key in your bag etc, ensure that the buttons are not likely to be pressed accidentally. Pressing a button may cause the key to emit radio waves that could interfere with the operation of the aircraft.

■Note for the entry function
●Even when the electronic key is within the effective range (detection
areas), the system may not operate properly in the following cases. • The electronic key is too close to the window or outside door handle, near the ground, or in a high place when the doors are locked or unlocked.
• The electronic key is on the instrument panel, in the auxiliary box, on the floor or in the glove box when the EV system is started or “POWER” switch modes are changed.
●Do not leave the electronic key on top of the instrument panel or near the door pockets when exiting the vehicle. Depending on the radio wave reception conditions, it may be detected by the antenna outside the cabin and the door will become lockable from the outside, possibly trapping the electronic key inside the vehicle.
●As long as the electronic key is within the effective range, the doors may
be locked or unlocked by anyone.
●Even if the electronic key is not inside the vehicle, it may be possible to
start the EV system if the electronic key is near the window.
●The doors may unlock if a large amount of water splashes on the door handle, such as in the rain or in a car wash. (The doors will automatically be locked after approximately 60 seconds if the doors are not opened and closed.)
●Gripping the door handle when wearing a glove may not unlock the door. ●If the wireless remote control is used to lock the doors when the elec- tronic key is near the vehicle, there is a possibility that the door may not be unlocked by the entry function. (Use the wireless remote control to unlock the doors.)
