2-2. Charging
Electric Vehicle system
This product must be grounded. In
case of malfunction or break down,
grounding provides a path of least
resistance for electric current to
reduce the risk of electric shock.
This product is equipped with a
grounding conductor and a ground-
ing plug. The grounding plug must
be plugged into an appropriate
socket that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all
local codes and ordinances.
The CCID (Charging Circuit Inter-
rupting Device) has the following
safety features.
Charging modeOutline
Mode 1
A charging method which does not use charging control to
detect electrical leakages between an external power source
and the vehicle. Does not apply to this vehicle.
Mode 2
A charging method which connects the vehicle to an external
power source through a AC charging cable equipped with a
CCID (Charging Circuit Interrupting Device).
Applies to charging through most household sockets.
Mode 3
A charging method which charges from a charger (such as at a
public charging station) equipped with charging control to
detect electrical leakages. Control to detect electrical leakag es
is implemented on the charger side. Therefore, a CCID
(Charging Circuit Interrupting Device) is not equipped to the A C
charging cable.
Not all chargers are equipped with AC charging cables. If there
is no AC charging cable available, use the Mode 3 AC charging
cable equipped to this vehicle. (if equipped)
Grounding (Mode 2 AC
charging cable)
WARNING
■Grounding precautions
●Improper connection of the ground-
ing conductor increases the risk of electric shock.Check with a qualified electrician or
serviceman if you are in doubt as to whether the product is properly grounded.
●Do not modify the grounding plug provided with the product. If it does
not fit the socket, have a proper socket installed by a qualified elec-trician.

2-2. Charging
■Electrical leakage detection
function
If an electrical leakage is detected
during charging, the power source
will be automatically interrupted,
thus preventing fires or electrical
shocks caused by electrical leak-
age.
If the power source is interrupted, the
error warning indicator flashes.
If the power source is interrupted:
 P. 1 0 2
■Automatic check function
This is an automatic system check
that is run before charging begins
to check for problems in the opera-
tion of the electrical leakage detec-
tion function.
If a malfunction is found in the electrical
leakage detection function as a result of
the check, the error warning indicator
flashes to inform the user. ( P.102)
■Temperature detection func-
tion
A temperature detection function is
equipped to the plug. While
charging, if heat is generated due
to looseness on the socket side
etc., this function suppresses heat
by controlling the charging current.
■Conditions for supplying cur-
rent to the vehicle
The CCID (Charging Circuit Inter-
rupting Device) is designed to pre-
vent electrical current from being
supplied to the charging connector
when it is not connected to the
vehicle, even if the plug is inserted
into the socket.
■Indicator operation
3 indicators are used to indicate the
following conditions.
Power indicator
Illuminates when electricity is flowing to
the CCID (Charging Circuit Interrupting
Device).
Charging indicator
Illuminates when charging is in prog-
ress.
Error warning indicator
Flashes when there is an electrical
leakage or when a malfunction occurs
in the CCID (Charging Circuit Interrupt-
ing Device).
■When a malfunction occurs during charging
The indicators on the CCID (Charging Circuit Interrupting Devic e) use a
combination of different statuses (not illuminated, illuminated or flashing) to
inform the user of internal malfunctions.
