WARNING
QRoutine inspection
Check the following points regularly.
Failure to do so may cause an unex- pected accident, resulting in death or serious injury.
OThe AC charging cable, plug, charging connector, CCID (Charging Circuit Interrupting
Device) etc. have not been dam- aged.
OThe socket has not been damaged.
OThe plug can be securely inserted
into the socket.
OThe plug does not get extremely hot
during use.
OThe tip of the plug has not been
deformed.
OThe plug is not dirtied by dust etc.
Remove the plug from the socket
before inspecting it. If any abnormali-
ties are found in the AC charging
cable as a result of the inspection,
immediately stop use and consult any
authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota
authorized repairer, or any reliable
repairer.
QMaintaining the AC charging cable
When the AC charging cable is dirty,
first remove the dirt with a hard, wringed cloth, and then wipe the cable with a dry cloth.
However, never wash it with water. If the AC charging cable is washed with water, fire or electric shock may occur
during charging, possibly resulting in death or serious injury.
QWhen not using the AC charging cable for a long time
Remove the plug from the socket.
Dust could accumulate on the plug or in the socket, possibly causing over-heating which could lead to a fire.
Also, keep the cable in a place free from moisture.

Plug-in hybrid system
*: If the AC charging cable is equipped.
 Connect to an AC 220 V - 240 V
socket with a Residual Current
Circuit-Breaker (RCCB) and a
circuit breaker. Use of a 13A
individual circuit is strongly rec-
ommended to ensure AC
charging cable will operate prop-
erly.
 We strongly recommend that you
use an exclusive connection
from the junction box for
charging. If you connect on a
socket that is on a shared circuit,
and other electrical appliances
are used on other sockets on the
same circuit, then the circuit
breaker might trip.*
NOTICE
ODo not apply excessive force to the charging connector after the
charging connector is inserted. When removing the charging con-nector, make sure to unlock the
charging connector.
Power sources that can
be used*
An external power source that
fulfills the following criteria is
necessary for charging this
vehicle. Confirm this before
charging.
WARNING
QWarnings for electrical faults
Make sure to observe the precautions in this Owner’s Manual when charging the vehicle.
Failure to use a power source that ful- fills the requirements, or failure to observe regulations while charging
could lead to an accident, possibly resulting in death or serious injury.
Power sources

1242-2. Charging
Ensure that the junction box is
equipped with a Residual Cur-
rent Circuit-Breaker (RCCB). If it
is not, have one installed by a
duly qualified professional.
When charging outdoors, make
sure to connect to a rain-tight
socket that is certified for outdoor
use. Checking Residual Current
Circuit-Breaker (RCCB) opera-
tion before its use is recom-
mended.
Check whether there are any
local EV-charging regulations in
place, and adhere to them.
*: For detailed information, consult an
electrician.
QThe charging environment
For safe charging, the following
charging equipment and settings are
recommended.
ORain-tight socket
When charging outdoors, connect the
plug to a rain-tight socket, and ensure
that the plug remains waterproof while
the plug is connected.
ODedicated circuit
• To reduce the risk of fire, connect only
to an at least 13A branch circuit with
an over-current protection.
• To reduce the risk of electric shock
when working with the plug, connect
to a socket that has a Residual Cur-
rent Circuit-Breaker (RCCB) installed.
ORemote switch
Allows the electricity from the socket to
be interrupted by operating a switch,
thus allowing safe removal and insertion
of the plug on rainy days.
QWhen your circuit breaker trips
during charging
The upper limit of the charging current
can be changed in “Vehicle Settings” on
the multi-information display.
1Press or of the meter control
switches to select .
2Press or of the meter control
switches to select “Vehicle Settings”,
and then press and hold .
3Press or of the meter control
switches to select “Charging Set-
tings”, and then press .
The “Charging Settings” screen will
be displayed.
4Press or of the meter control
switches to select “Charging Cur-
rent”, and then press .
The “Charging Current” screen will
be displayed.
5Press or of the meter control
switches to select “16A”
*1 or “8A”,
and then press .
During charging, the maximum
charging current will be restricted to
the set current or lower.
*2
If the breaker still trips while charging,
even after changing the upper limit of
the charging current, check if the con-
nected power source meets the speci-
fied charging conditions. (P.123)
*1: Vehicles with 6.6 kW onboard trac-
tion battery charger only
*2: Restricting the charging current will
lengthen the charging time.

WARNING
QPower sources precautions
Observe the following precautions.
If you do not follow them, fire, electri- cal shock and/or damages may occur, possibly resulting in death or serious
injury.
OConnect to an AC 220 V - 240 V
socket with a Residual Current Cir- cuit-Breaker (RCCB) and supplied by a circuit breaker in line with local
regulations. Use of an individual cir- cuit provided with at least 13A is strongly recommended.
ODo not connect the AC charging cable to a multi-socket adaptor,
multi-plugs, or conversion plug.
OConnecting the AC charging cable
to an extension cord is strictly pro- hibited. The extension cord may overheat and does not contain a
Residual Current Circuit-Breaker (RCCB).The leakage detection function of
the CCID (Charging Circuit Inter- rupting Device) ( P.112) may not operate correctly.
ODo not connect to a branch electri-cal socket.
OMake sure to connect the charging connector and AC charging inlet directly. Do not connect a convert-
ing adaptor or extension cord between the charging connector and AC charging inlet.

1262-2. Charging
QCharging from an external
power source (P.134)
This is a charging method used
when charging from an AC socket
(220 V - 240 V) with the AC
charging cable equipped to the
vehicle or charging at a public
charging station.
The charging start time (or departure
time) and day can be set to carry out
charging using the charging schedule
at the desired date and time. (P.143)
QUsing the hybrid battery (trac-
tion battery) charge mode
(P.87)
The plug-in hybrid system can be
switched to hybrid battery (traction
battery) charge mode to charge the
hybrid battery (traction battery)
using electricity generated by gaso-
line engine operation.
The maximum charge amount in the
hybrid battery (traction battery) charge
mode is approximately 80% of the fully
charged capacity for the charging from
an external power source.
The time required to charge the
hybrid battery (traction battery) dif-fers according to the charging volt-
age and charging current.
