When the AC charging cable is
connected to the vehicle, electrical
components such as the air condi-

be used using the external power
source

: The power of the hybrid battery (trac-
tion battery) may be used depending
on the situation.
■ “Battery Heater”
When the outside temperature is
low and the AC charging cable is
connected to the vehicle, this func-
tion automatically warms the hybrid
battery (traction battery) until it
reaches or exceeds a certain tem-
perature.
“Battery Heater” will operate when
the “Battery Heater” of the
“Charging Settings” on the multi-
information display is on. (P.207)
■ Hybrid battery (traction bat-
tery) warming control (Green-
land only)
This control operates after the AC
charging cable remains connected
to the vehicle for 3 days and “Bat-
tery Heater” automatically stops. It
automatically insulates the hybrid
battery (traction battery) in
extremely low temperatures.
This control stops 31 days after
the AC charging cable is con-
nected, even if it is still con-
nected to the vehicle.
When this control operates,
charging schedule settings are
ignored and charging starts.
■ “Battery Cooler”
When the hybrid battery (traction
battery) is hot and the AC charging
cable is connected to the vehicle,
this function cools the hybrid bat-
tery (traction battery) before
charging is carried out.
“Battery Cooler” will operate when
the “Battery Cooler” of the
“Charging Settings” on the multi-
information display is on. (P.207)
■ Traction battery heating and cool-
ing system (“Battery Heater” and
“Battery Cooler”)
● The system operates when the hybrid
battery (traction battery) is below or
above a certain temperature.
● The system may operate when
charging is not being performed.
● When the charging schedule is used
(P.144), this function will operate
according to the charging schedule.
■ “Battery Heater”
● When “Battery Heater” is operating,
the charging indicator illuminates.
● When the AC charging cable is
removed from the vehicle or remains
connected to the vehicle for approxi-
mately 3 days, the system automati-
cally stops.
● When “Battery Heater” is operating
during charging, the charging time
may be longer than normal.
● If the outside temperature becomes
high while “Battery Heater” is operat-
ing, charging may complete earlier
than the “Departure” or “Departure
time” time set. (P.144)
