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.

■If a message indicating vehicle
error on the DC charger side is
displayed
Even if a message indicating vehicle
error on the DC charger side (ex.
vehicle error found, vehicle error
occurred, etc.) is displayed, there is
no vehicle fault but possibly a com-
munication error between the DC
charger and vehicle. In this case,
there may be terminal damage (bad
contact) in the DC charging connec-
tor. If there is no er ror with the vehi-
cle, contact the fa cility manager of
the DC charger.

occurrence during DC charging
●As the battery approaches full
charge, the charging speed will
decrease and it will take longer to
complete charging.
●The time to complete charging
may change, or charging may
stop before reaching the upper
limit of the charge capacity, due to
the remaining charge of the trac-
tion battery, the outside tempera-
ture, the specifications of the
charger (stand), etc.
●It is recommended to avoid fre-
quent DC charging to prevent a
decline in the traction battery
capacity.
●Quickly move from the DC
charging space for other users
after the DC charging is com-
pleted.

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.
