tion battery is low, the traction bat-
tery cooler may n ot operate, even
if the temperature of the traction
battery is high.
●When the following conditions are
met while the trac tion battery
cooler is operating, the cooling
operation will stop.
• The hood is opened

• While the traction battery cooler is
operating, the charge of the trac-
tion battery will increase and
decrease within a certain range,
and will not increase as during AC
charging.
• When the traction battery cooler operates, charger will recognize it
as the battery being charged. If
this function ope rates while a

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.
