2-1. Electric vehicle system
WARNING
●Never try to open the service plug access hole located under the floor.
The service plug is used only when the vehicle is being serviced and is subject to high voltage.
■Road accident cautions
Observe the following precautions to
reduce the risk of death or serious injury:
●Stop the vehicle in a safe place to
prevent subsequent accidents. While depressing the brake pedal, apply the parking brake and shift
the shift position to P to stop the EV system. Then, slowly release the brake pedal.
●Do not touch the high voltage parts, cables (orange) and connectors.
●If electric wires are exposed inside or outside your vehicle, an electric
shock may occur. Never touch exposed electric wires.
●Do not touch the traction battery if liquid is leaking from or adhered to it. If electrolyte (Organic Carbonate-
based electrolyte) from the traction battery comes into contact with the eyes or skin, it could cause blind-
ness or skin wounds. In the unlikely event that it comes into contact with the eyes or skin, wash it off immedi-
ately with a large amount of water, and seek immediate medical atten-tion.
●If electrolyte is leaking from the traction battery, do not approach the vehicle.
Even in the unlikely event that the traction battery has been damaged, the internal construction of the bat-
tery will prevent a large amount of electrolyte from leaking out. How-ever, if electrolyte leaks, vapors will
be emitted. These vapors are an irritant to skin and eyes and could cause acute poisoning if inhaled.
●Do not bring burning or high-tem-perature items close to the electro-
lyte. The electrolyte may ignite and cause a fire.
●If a fire occurs in the battery electric vehicle, leave the vehicle as soon as possible. Never use a fire extin-
guisher that is not meant for electri- cal fires. Using even a small amount of water may be danger-
ous.
●If your vehicle needs to be towed,
be sure to transport the vehicle with the front wheels (2WD models) or four wheels (AWD models) raised.
If the vehicle is towed with the wheels which are connected to the electric motor (traction motor) con-
tacting the ground, electricity gener- ated by the operation of the motor may cause a fire to occur depend-
ing on the nature of the damage or malfunction. ( P.509)

2-2. Charging
WARNING
●When charging outdoors, make sure to connect to a rain-tight
socket for outdoor use. Ensure the rain-tight socket cover closes completely. If the rain-tight
socket cover cannot be closed, install a rain-tight socket cover that will close.
●In order to stop charging at the charging station, follow the instruc-
tions of the charger.
●If any heat, smoke, odors, noise or
other abnormalities are noticed during charging, stop charging immediately.
●Do not insert the plug if the socket is submerged in water or snow.
●When charging while it is raining or snowing, do not connect or discon-
nect the plug if your hands are wet. Also, do not get the plug or socket wet.
●Do not charge the vehicle during a lightning storm.
●Prevent the AC charging cable from being caught in the door or back
door.
●Do not let the wheels on the AC
charging cable, plug, charging con- nector and CCID (Charging Circuit Interrupting Device).
●Firmly insert the plug into the socket.
●Do not use an extension cord and converting adaptor.
●Close the hood before using the charging system.The cooling fan may start operating
suddenly. Touching or getting close to rotating parts such as the fan may cause your hands or clothes
(especially a necktie or scarf) to become caught and result in a seri-ous injury.
●After connecting the charging cable, confirm that it is not wound
around anything.
●If the power indicator on the CCID
(Charging Circuit Interrupting Device) does not illuminate after plugging the AC charging cable into
the socket, unplug it immediately.
■If the error warning indicator on
the CCID (Charging Circuit Inter- rupting Device) illuminates or flashes during charging
There may be an electrical leakage in the power source path, or there may be a malfunction in the AC charging
cable or CCID (Charging Circuit Inter- rupting Device).
Refer to P.102 and follow the correc-
tion procedure. If the error warning indicator does not turn off even after performing the correction procedure,
immediately stop charging, remove the AC charging cable and contact any authorized Toyota retailer or
Toyota authorized repairer, or any reli- able repairer. Continuing to charge the vehicle in that condition may lead
to unforeseen accidents or serious injury.
■Onboard traction battery charger
The onboard traction battery charger is located in the motor compartment.
Make sure to observe the following precautions regarding the onboard traction battery charger. Failure to
observe these precautions may result in death or serious injury such as burns and electric shocks.

1Fold
2 Extend
Putting the outside rear view mirror
folding switch in the neutral position
sets the mirrors to automatic mode.
Automatic mode allows the folding
or extending of the mirrors to be
linked to locking/unlocking of the
doors.
■Using automatic mode in cold
weather
When automatic mode is used in cold weather, the door mirror could freeze up
and automatic stowing and return may not be possible. In this event, after removing any ice and snow from the
door mirror, operate the mirror using manual mode or move it by hand.
■Customization
Some functions can be customized.
(Customizable features: P.566)
When the mirror select switch is in
the “L” or “R” position, the outside
rear view mirrors will automatically
angle downwards when the vehicle
is reversing in order to give a better
view of the ground.
To disable this function, move the
mirror select switch to the neutral
position (between “L” or “R”)
■Adjusting the mirror angle
when the vehicle is reversing
With the shift position in R, adjust
the mirror angle at a desired posi-
tion.
The adjusted angle will be memo-
rized and the mirror will automati-
cally tilt to the memorized angle
whenever the shift position is
shifted to R from next time.
The memorized downward tilt position
of the mirror is linked to the normal
position (angle adjusted with the shift
position in other than R). Therefore, if
the normal position is changed after
adjustment, the tilt position will also
change.
When the normal position is changed,
readjust the angle in reversing.
