●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
