agent that you are not experiencing
an emergency.
■Enhanced Roadside Assis-
tance
Enhanced Roadside Assistance
adds GPS data to the already
included warranty-based Toyota
roadside service.
Subscribers can press the
“SOS” button to reach a Safety
Connect response-center agent,
who can help with a wide range
of needs, such as: towing, flat
tire, fuel delivery, etc. For a
description of the Enhanced
Roadside Assistance services
and their limitations, please see
the Safety Connect Terms and
Conditions, which are available
at Toyota.com.
Important! Read this informa-
tion about exposure to radio fre-
quency signals before using
Safety Connect;
The Safety Connect system
installed in your vehicle is a low- power radio transmitter and
receiver. It receives and also
sends out radio frequency (RF)
signals.
In August 1996, the Federal
Communications Commission
(FCC) adopted RF exposure
guidelines with safety levels for
mobile wireless phones. Those
guidelines are consistent with
the safety standards previously
set by the following U.S. and
international standards bodies.

ANSI (American National
Standards Institute) C95.1
[1992]
 NCRP (National Council on
Radiation Protection and
Measurement) Report 86
[1986]
 ICNIRP (International Com-
mission on Non-Ionizing Radi-
ation Protection) [1996]
Those standards were based on
comprehensive and periodic
evaluations of the relevant sci-
entific literature. Over 120 scien-
tists, engineers, and physicians
from universities, and govern-
ment health agencies and
industries reviewed the avail-
able body of research to
develop the ANSI Standard
(C95.1).
The design of Safety Connect
complies with the FCC guide-
lines in addition to those stan-
dards.

Electric Vehicle system
■Locking the charging con-
nector
The AC charging connector will
be automatically locked when
inserting it into the AC charging
inlet.
(The setting can be
changed: P.93)
■Unlocking the charging
connector
The AC charging connector will
be unlocked when the doors are
unlocked using the smart key
system or wireless remote con-
trol.
The AC charging connector
locks when connected and
unlocks when the door is
unlocked, so locking/unlocking
the AC charging connector does
not necessarily correspond to
locking/unlocking the door. If the door is unlocked and the
AC charging connector is
locked, you can unlock it by
doing the following:
• When using the smart key
system, lock the door once
and then unlock it again.
( P.167)
• When using the wireless remote control, press the
unlock button to unlock the
door. ( P.167)
■Changing the AC charging
connector lock settings
The method for locking and
unlocking the AC charging con-
nector can be changed on the
multi-information display or mul-
timedia.
The charging connector lock
settings cannot be changed
when the AC charging cable is
connected to the vehicle.
The settings cannot be changed
when the power switch is in
ACC.

WARNING
●When charging outdoors, make
sure to connect to a weather-
proof outlet for outdoor use.
Ensure the weatherproof outlet
cover closes completely. If the
weatherproof outlet cover can-
not be closed, install a weather-
proof outlet cover that will close.
●In order to stop charging at the
charging station, follow the
instructions 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 out-
let is submerged in water or
snow.
●When charging while it is raining
or snowing, do not connect or
disconnect the plug if your
hands are wet. Also, do not get
the plug or outlet 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
connector and CCID (Charging
Circuit Interrupting Device).
●Firmly insert the plug into the
outlet.
●Do not use an extension cord
and converting adaptor.
●Close the hood before using the
charging system.
The cooling fan may start oper-
ating suddenly. Touching or get-
ting 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 serious
injury.
●After connecting the charging
cable, confirm that it is not
wound around anything.
●If the power indicator on the
CCID (Charging Circuit Inter-
rupting Device) does not illumi-
nate after plugging the AC
charging cable into the outlet,
unplug it immediately.
■If the error warn ing indicator
on the CCID (Charging Circuit
Interrupting Device) illumi-
nates or flashes during
charging
There may be an electrical leak-
age in the power source path, or
there may be a malfunction in the
AC charging cable or CCID
(Charging Circuit Interrupting
Device).
Refer to P.90 and follow the cor-
rection procedure. If the error
warning indicator does not turn off
even after performing the correc-
tion procedure, immediately stop
charging, remove the AC
charging cable and contact your
Toyota dealer. Continuing to
charge the vehicle in that condi-
tion may lead to u nforeseen acci-
dents or serious injury.

■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
