Timer Charge And A/C-Heater Timer Function

Time for timer charge and A/C-heater timer can be set from the navigation setting screen.
The AV control unit sends the current time signal received with GPS antenna to VCM via CAN communication, and it compensates the current VCM time.

Timer Charge Function

Set the timer charge start time on the navigation setting screen. When the charging plug is connected, the time mode is activated.
If the charging plug fitting is not sufficient, unplugged status is notified. For details of unplugged status notification, refer to "TELEMATICS SYSTEM: SYSTEM DESCRIPTION ".
After the power switch is OFF, VCM is activated at the set charge start time and charge is started. (The time of the timer function is controlled by VCM.)
VCM sends the VCM status signal and VCM wake-up signal to TCU via CAN communication to notify that VCM is activated. For details of the charging function, refer to "SYSTEM DESCRIPTION ".
Charge is completed.

NOTE: Information of charge completion sent to the user is also given if charge is abnormally completed for some reason (e.g. disconnection of charging plug).

A/C-Heater Timer Function

Set the A/C-heater timer start time on the navigation setting screen. When the charging plug is connected, the time mode is activated.
After the power switch is OFF, VCM is activated at the set air conditioning start time and air conditioning is started. (The time of the timer function is controlled by VCM.)
VCM sends the VCM status signal and VCM wake-up signal to TCU via CAN communication to notify that VCM is activated. For details of air conditioner system, refer to "REFRIGERATION SYSTEM: SYSTEM DESCRIPTION ".

NOTE:

A/C-heater timer performs air conditioning with the settings of temperature 25°C, AUTO, fan AUTO and REC.
Power consumption of the compressor or the PTC heater is limited according to allowable power from VCM. Sufficient air conditioning may not be performed if charge has priority or 100 V charge is performed.
