WARNING
■Warnings for DC charging
Be sure to observe the following
when using DC charging.
Failure to do so may cause an
accident that could lead to death
or serious injury.
●Check that the DC charger and
DC charging inlet are not dam-
aged. If there is any damage to
the DC charging inlet, do not
perform a DC charge and have
it inspected immediately at your
Toyota dealer.
●Do not touch the terminals of
the DC charging connector or
inlet with metallic sharp tips
(wires and needles), or allow a
short circuit to occur with foreign
objects.
●Do not insert anything other
than the DC charging connector
into the DC charging inlet.
●Check that the DC charging
cable is not coiled up or pinned
underneath heavy objects.
●Be sure the DC charging inlet
makes direct contact with the
DC charging connector.
Do not connect conversion
adapters, extension cords, etc.,
between the DC charging con-
nector and DC ch arging inlet.
●When DC charging is inter-
rupted, follow the handling pro-
cedures of the DC charger.
Immediately stop the DC
charging when the re is an out-
break of heat, smoke, strange
noises or smells, etc., during
charging.
●Check that the DC charging
connector and DC charging inlet
do not have foreign objects or
snow or ice attached to it. If any-
thing is attached t o the inlet, be
sure to complete ly remove the
material before connecting the
DC charging connector.
●Do not charge the vehicle when
there is a possibility of lightning.
If you notice lightning while
charging the vehicle, do not
touch the vehicle and the DC
charging cable.
●Do not get the DC charging inlet
terminals wet.
●Close the hood when using DC
charging. The cooling fan may
suddenly start to run. Keep
hands and clothing (especially a
tie, a scarf or a muffler) away
from the fan. Fa ilure to do so
may cause the hands or cloth-
ing to be caught, resulting in
serious injury.

■If “Charging Stopped Check Charging Source” is shown
Likely causeCorrection procedure
Problem in power supply
from external power source
Check the following items.
• The plug is securely inserted.
• Extension cord is not used and outlet is not overloaded.
• The remote switch is not off.
• Connected to a dedicated power line.
• Power outage has occurred or not.
• The power indicator on the CCID (Charging Circuit Interrupting D evice) is illuminated.
• The circuit breakers have not tripped.
If all of the above condit ions are met, the out-
let may be malfunctioni ng. Contact an electri-
cian and request an inspection.
Furthermore, if the error warning indicator on
the CCID (Charging Circuit Interrupting
Device) is flash ing, there may be electrical
leakage. Contact your Toyota dealer.
If charging cannot be performed, even though
there is no problem with the power source
path, there may be a malfunction in the sys-
tem. Have the vehicle inspected by your Toy-
ota dealer.
Charging is stopped by AC
charger
Depending on the specifications of charger,
charging may be canceled by an interruption
of power supply. Charging may be stopped by
the following.
Refer to charger handling methods.
• The charging stop bu tton of charger is
pressed.
• Charger with off timer function canceled charging
• Charger that is not compatible with the charging schedule function of the vehicle
• Check if it is possible to charge with the AC charging cable equipped with the vehicle. If
