Charging methods
The following methods can be used to charge the traction battery .
Types of charging methods
■ AC charging ( �P . 104 )
This is a charging method used when charging from an AC outlet with the AC charging cable or charging that use an AC charger .
By setting charging schedule , it is also possible to charge at the desired date and time . ( �P . 117 )
■ DC charging ( �P . 112 )
This is a charging method that uses a DC charger that complies with SAE J 1772 . The traction battery can be charged in a shorter time than AC charging .
SAE is an abbreviation for an industrial standard issued by the Society of Automotive Engineers .
Charging-linked functions
This vehicle is equipped with several functions that are linked with charging .
■ My Room Mode ( �P . 127 )
When the charging cable is connected to the vehicle , electrical components such as the air conditioning system and audio system can be used by the power supply from an external power
source * . * : Depending on the situation , electricity of the traction battery may be consumed .
■ Traction battery heater
When the outside temperature is low and the charging cable is connected to the vehicle , this function automatically warms the traction battery until it reaches or exceeds a certain temperature .
• The operation of this function is stopped automatically when the charging cable is disconnected or if the charging cable is left connected to the vehicle for approximately 3 days .
• When the timer is charging ( �P . 117 ), it operates according to the charging start time .
■ Traction battery warming control
This control operates after the charging cable remains connected to the vehicle for approximately 3 days and the traction battery heater automatically stops . It automatically insulates the traction battery in extremely low temperatures .
• This control stops 31 days after the charging cable is connected , even if it is still connected to the vehicle .
