Using the charging schedule function

When registering the charge schedule, the following settings can be
changed.

■

Select the charging mode

One of the two following charging modes can be selected.

*

1

: Charging schedule function is performed in accordance with the clock in

the instrument cluster. Before registering the charge schedule, check the
clock settings to the proper time.

*

2

: There might be a slight error in the timing when charging starts due to the

state of the hybrid battery (traction battery).

■

The periodic charging schedule can be set by selecting your
desired day of the week.

■

Air conditioning-linked setting (“Climate Prep”)

When the charging mode is set to “Departure”, the vehicle air condi-
tioning system (



P. 512, 524) can be set to automatically operate*

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 10 minutes before the set departure time.

Charging can be carried out at the desired time by registering
the charge schedule. Also, it is possible to set the charging
schedule to one’s preferences, such as having charging com-
plete by a certain departure time or be carried out at the same
time on certain days.

*

2

*

1

: The “Next Charging Event” refers to the closest charge schedule from the

current time among the registered charge schedules. Charging schedule is
performed based on the “Next Charging Event”.

*

2

: When “Next Charging Event” is changed, the current charge schedule will

be temporarily ignored and charging will not be carried out until the time
specified by “Next Charging Event”. (For example, when “Next Charging
Event” is set for 2 days later, even if items are registered on the charge
schedule, charging will not be carried out until the time specified by “Next
Charging Event”.)

The charge schedule can be reg-
istered on the multi-information
display or 11.6-inch display (if

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.

■

Smartphone-linked operation (vehicles with 11.6-inch display)

After applying to Entune App Suite, it is possible to use the smartphone appli-
cation to change charging schedule settings.

ignored due to the outside temperature and charging may start.

■

“Traction Battery Cooler” (



P. 136)

When charging is carried out using the charging schedule, the hybrid battery
(traction battery) cooling function may operate according to the temperature
of the hybrid battery (traction battery).

●
