1-3. Charging with the EV system
The function may operate when
continuously driving at high speeds
such as driving on highways or free-
ways, or during DC charging.
For AC charging: Traction battery
cooler will operate when the "Bat-
tery cooling" of the "Charging" on

■
AC charging
AC charging requires less load on the trac-
tion battery than DC charging, leading to
longer traction battery life.
■
Traction battery heater
●
Traction battery heater may operate
when charging is not being performed.
When Traction battery heater is operat-
●
ing, the charging indicator will illuminate.
●
When Traction battery heater is operat-
ing during charging, the charging may
take longer than normal.
The remaining charge of the traction bat-
●
tery declines when the traction battery
heater operates, it might be necessary to
recharge the traction battery again in
order to supplement the remaining
charge.
■
Traction battery cooler
●
The charging indicator will illuminate
when the traction battery cooler is on
standby or operating.
When the charge level of the traction
●
battery is low, the traction battery cooler
may not operate, even if the temperature
of the traction battery is high.
●
When the following conditions are met
while the traction battery cooler is oper-
ating, the cooling operation will stop.
• The hood is opened
• The power switch is turned to ACC or
ON.
• The shift position is changed to any posi-
tion other than P
• The remaining charge of the traction bat-
tery drops below a certain amount
●
The traction battery cooler operates
using power supplied by the traction bat-
tery and an external power source.
• While the traction battery cooler is oper-
ating, the charge of the traction battery
will increase and decrease within a cer-
tain range, and will not increase as during
AC charging.
• When the traction battery cooler oper-
ates, charger will recognize it as the bat-
tery being charged. If this function
operates while a charger which charges a
charging fee is connected to the vehicle,
AC charging fees will apply.
