■ 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 the head
light switch is on etc.
● There is a power outage during charging.
● There is an interruption in the electrical supply.
● There is a drop in the voltage of external power source.
● The charge in the 12-volt battery is low, for example due to the vehicle being
left unused for a long period of time.
● The maximum charging current is set to 8A through the “Vehicle Settings”
settings. (P. 132)
● When the “Traction Battery Heater” operates.
● When the “Traction Battery Cooler” is operated before charging. (P. 136)
● When the plug generates heat due to a loose outlet connection etc.
■ Using a DC Charger
DC Chargers cannot be used with this vehicle.
This vehicle is equipped with several functions that are linked with
charging.
■ “Traction Battery Heater”
When the outside temperature is low and the charging cable is con-
nected to the vehicle, this function automatically warms the hybrid
battery (traction battery) until it reaches or exceeds a certain tem-
perature.
● When the charging cable is removed from the vehicle or remains
connected to the vehicle for approximately 3 days, the system
automatically stops.
● When the charging timer is used (P. 157), this function will
operate according to the timer settings.
