Before registering the charging sched-
ule, check and set the clock to the
proper time.

: If the system determines that charging

cannot be completed by the set depar-
ture time, it will start charging. Check
the charging schedule.

: If the outside temperature changes sud-

denly or the state of the power source
being used is changed during charging,
the system may not complete the
charging as estimated.

Repeated setting

The periodic charging schedule can be
set by selecting your desired day of the
week.
Charging schedule can be performed
only once if the days are not selected.

Air conditioning-linked setting

When the charging mode is set to
“Departure”, the vehicle air condition-
ing system can be set to automatically
operate

according to the set time.

By adjusting the cabin temperature in
advance and matching it with the depar-
ture time, passengers can enjoy a pleasant
interior immediately after entering the
vehicle.

: Operation starts approximately 20 min-

utes before the set departure time.

Turning “Charge Now” on and off

If even one charging schedule is regis-
tered, charging does not start until the
set time, even if the AC charging cable
is connected to the vehicle. To start
charging immediately without chang-
ing the charging schedule setting, turn
“Charge Now” on to temporarily can-

cel the charging schedule and enable
charging after connecting the AC
charging cable.

: If the charging connector is unlocked

during charging while the charging
schedule is registered and “Charge
Now” is on, “Charge Now” turns off.

Changing “Next Event”

It is possible to temporarily set the time
of the next charging schedule without
changing the registered repeated set-
ting.

: The “Next Event” refers to the closest

charging schedule from the current
time among the registered charging
schedules. Charging schedule is per-
formed based on the “Next Event”.

: When “Next Event” is changed, the cur-

rent charging schedule will be tempo-
rarily ignored and charging will not be
performed 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 per-
formed until the time specified by “Next
Event”.)

Charging schedule settings

A maximum of 15 charging schedules can

be registered.

The traction battery is not fully charged.

The automatic adjustment of the clock by

GPS is set to “On”. If the clock has been

adjusted in an area where a GPS signal

cannot be received, set the automatic

adjustment of the clock by GPS to “On”

in an area where a GPS signal can be

received.

For details regarding GPS, refer to the
“NAVIGATION AND MULTIMEDIA
SYSTEM OWNER’S MANUAL”.

When charging is performed regardless

of the charging schedule

When the charging schedule is on standby,

if a temporary cancelation operation is per-

formed, charging schedule will be canceled

and charging will begin immediately.

When the AC charging cable remains

connected to the vehicle

Even if multiple consecutive charging

schedules are registered, the next charge

will not be carried out according to the

schedule until the AC charging cable is

removed and reconnected after charging

completes. Also, when the traction battery

is fully charged, charging according to the

schedule will not be performed.

Air conditioning-linked setting

When the air conditioning-linked setting

is turned on, the air conditioning operates

until the set departure time. Therefore,

depending on the air conditioning elec-

tricity consumption, charging may not be

completed by the set departure time.

If the traction battery is fully charged,

charging will not be carried out, even if

the charging schedule is registered.

However, if Air conditioning-linked set-

ting 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 traction bat-

tery when departing may be decreased.

When the doors are unlocked, the air

conditioning system does not operate.

When charging schedule settings are

ignored

When the following operations are per-

formed while the charging schedule is on

“Traction Battery is too Low
for “My Room Mode””

There is no remaining charge of the traction battery to start
My Room Mode. Wait until the remaining charge of the
traction battery increases, start the My Room Mode.

““My Room Mode” has
stopped due to low traction
battery level”

The remaining charge of the traction battery is insufficient.
Stop using the My Room Mode and charge the traction
battery.

““My Room Mode” will stop
when traction battery level is
too low Reduce power usage
to continue using “My Room
Mode””

The electricity consumption of the vehicle is more than the
charge amount for the traction battery, thus the remaining
charge of the traction battery is low.

• If the electricity consumption of the vehicle can not be

improved, the My Room Mode will be off.

• When My Room Mode continuation is desired, turn off

the air conditioning system, audio system, etc., to
increase the remaining charge of the traction battery.
