1-3. Charging with the EV system
charging will not start even if the AC
charging cable is connected. Also,
charging fee may occur due to connec-
tion of the AC charging cable.

Capacity reduction of the traction bat-
tery
The capacity of the traction battery will
decline gradually when the traction battery
is in use. The rate at which it declines will dif-
fer in accordance with environmental con-
ditions and the way in which the vehicle is
used. Observing the following can help
suppress the decline in the traction battery
capacity.
●
Avoid parking the vehicle in high tem-
perature areas, under direct sunlight
when the traction battery is fully charged.
●
Avoid accelerating and decelerating fre-
quently and suddenly.
Avoid frequent driving at high speed.
●
●
Use the charging schedule function as
much as possible in order to fully charged
the traction battery before starting off.
(P.60)
Avoid frequent DC charging
●
Also, if the capacity of the traction battery
capacity reduces, the distance that can be
driven decreases. However, vehicle per-
formance does not significantly become
worse.
When the remaining charge of the trac-
■
tion battery is low after charging
In the following situations, the remaining
charge of the traction battery after charging
completes may be less than normal in order
to protect the traction battery (the driving
range after the battery is fully charged may
*
be shorter).
●
Charging is performed when the outside
temperature is low or high
Charging is performed immediately after
●
high-load driving or in extreme heat
In any other situation, if the remaining
charge of the traction battery is signifi-
cantly lower than normal after charging
completes, have the vehicle inspected by
your Lexus dealer.
*
: When this occurs, even if the remaining
charge display of the traction battery
shows that it is fully charged, the remain-
ing charge rapidly decreases faster than
normal.
The charging amount sent to the trac-
■
tion battery or the remaining charge
amount of the traction battery may
decrease when
When the operation of the battery heater,
etc. reduces the charging power sent to the
traction battery, the charging amount sent
to the traction battery or the remaining
charge amount of the traction battery may
decrease.
Certification
■
This device complies with Part 15 of the
FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the fol-
lowing two conditions:
(1) this device may not cause harmful inter-
ference, and (2) this device must accept any
interference received, including interfer-
ence that may cause undesired operation.
Charging time may increase
■
In the following situations, charging time
may become longer than normal:
●
In very hot or very cold temperatures.
When the traction battery becomes hot,
●
such as immediately after high-load driv-
ing.
●
The vehicle is consuming a lot of electric-
ity, for example, when the headlights are
on, etc.
When using My Room Mode. (P.65)
●
●
There is a power outage during charging.
●
When adjusting the power supply with
the charger.
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.
When the upper limit of charging current
