2-2. Charging
Plug-in hybrid system
This vehicle has been designed to
allow charging from an external
power source using a AC charging
cable for exclusive use with stan-
dard household AC sockets.
However, the vehicle differs greatly
from standard household electrical
goods in the following ways, and
incorrect usage could cause fire or
electric shock, possibly leading to
death or serious injury.
 The charging operation is
designed to operate at 8A-10A
continuously for the charge dura-
tion (approximately 9 hours).
( P.127)
 Charging can be conducted out-
doors.
To charge properly, follow the pro-
cedure after reading the explana-
tion below. Charging is intended to
be carried out by licensed drivers
only who properly understand the
charging procedure.
 Do not allow children to use the
AC charging cable without
supervision. Also, keep the AC
charging cable out of reach of
infants.
 When charging with a charger,
follow the procedures for using
each charger.
 When charging using a public
charging facility, check the set-
ting of the charging schedule
function.
• When the charging schedule is regis-
tered, temporarily turn off the function
or turn “Charge Now” on. ( P.145)
• When the charging schedule is set to
on, charging will not start even if the

each part of the AC charging cable
is in good condition. (P.117)
■During charging
●The charging starting time may differ
depending on the state of the vehicle,
but this does not indicate a malfunc-
tion.
●Cooling fan sounds may be heard
from near the rear seat. (P.98)
●During charging, sounds may be
heard from near the hybrid battery
(traction battery) in accordance with
the operation of the air conditioning
system or “Battery Cooler” (P.129).
●During and after charging, the rear
seat and its surrounding area in which
the onboard traction battery charger is
installed may get warm.
●The surface of the CCID (Charging
Circuit Interrupting Device) may
become hot, but this does not indicate
a malfunction. (When using Mode 2
AC charging cable.)
●Depending on radio wave conditions,
interference may be heard on the
radio.
●The current charging condition and
the estimated time until charging will
complete can be checked on the
multi-information display.
■Capacity reduction of the hybrid
battery (traction battery)
The capacity of the hybrid battery (trac-
tion battery) will decline gradually when
the hybrid battery (traction battery) is in
use. The rate at which it declines will dif-
fer in accordance with environmental
conditions and the way in which the
vehicle is used. Observing the following
can help suppress battery capacity
decline.
●Avoid parking the vehicle in areas with
a high temperature under direct sun-
light when the hybrid battery (traction
battery) is fully charged.
●Avoid accelerating and decelerating frequently and suddenly when EV
driving.
●Avoid frequent driving near the top
speed for EV driving. (P.90)

much as possible in order to fully
charge the hybrid battery (traction bat-
tery) immediately before starting off.
(P.144)
Also, if the hybrid battery (traction bat-
tery) capacity reduces, the distance that
can be driven in EV mode or AUTO
EV/HV mode decreases. However, vehi-
cle performance does not significantly
become worse.
■When the remaining charge of the
hybrid battery (traction battery) is
low after charging
In the following situations, the remaining
charge of the hybrid battery (traction
battery) after charging completes may
be less than normal in order to protect
the system (the EV driving range after
the battery is fully charged may be
shorter).
*
●Charging is carried out when the out-
side temperature is low or high.
●Charging is carried out immediately
after high-load driving or in extreme
heat.
