■Charging messages
The first time the power switch
is turned to ON mode after
charging is completed
*, a mes-
sage detailing the results of the
charging will be displayed.
Also, if an operation which can-
not be carried out is attempted
during charging, a warning
message will be displayed.
If a message appears, perform
the operation required by the
message. ( P. 355)
If charging fails to finish suc-
cessfully, a message will remain
on the multi-information display.
To change the display, turn the
“DISP” knob.
*: The message may not be dis- played if the Remote Climate
Control ( P. 228) has been

■Safety functions
●The EV system will not start while the charging cable is connected to the
vehicle, even if the power switch is operated.
● If the charging cable is connected while the “READY” indicator is illumi-
nated, the EV system will stop automatically and driving will not be possible.
● When the charging cable is connected to the vehicle, the shift lever cannot
be shifted from P.
If the shift lock override button is pushed and the shift the shift lever in a
position other than P, charging is stopped.
● If the latch release button is pressed, charging will not begin even if the
charging cable is connected.
Also, charging will be stopped if the latch release button is pressed and held
for several seconds during charging. When restarting charging, reinsert the
charging connector after pulling it out, and check that the charging indicator
illuminates.
■ If the traction battery becomes low
P. 7 5
■ Amount of time required fo r charging in normal charge
Fully charging the traction battery, when the SOC (State of Charge) warning
light has come on, will take approximately 7 hours.
When the battery is charged at charging stations, it will take approximately 3
hours.
The amount of time until charging is complete will change in accordance with
the amount of charge remaining in the traction battery, the outside tempera-
ture, etc. However, charging at charging stations, the time may significantly
vary due to the specification of the charger.
■ Remaining charging time
●The remaining charging time is for reference only. It varies depending on the
traction battery temperature, outside temperature and charging equipment,
so the displayed time is longer than the actual remaining charging time.
● If a power outage occurs or the charging cable is disconnected from the
vehicle during while charging the traction battery, the remaining charging
time will not be able to be calculated, and “--:--” will be displa\
yed.
■ During normal charging
●The surface of the CCID (Charging Circuit Interrupting Device) may become
hot, but this does not indicate a malfunction.
● Depending on radio wave conditions, interference may be heard on the
radio.

Driving
■If two charging connectors are used at the same time
Normal charging and quick charging cannot be conducted simultaneously.
If the two connectors have been connected to the vehicle, the battery will only
be charged through either one of the char ging modes that has started first.
However, the battery will not be recharged with the other method even after
the first mode is complete. To start the other mode, disconnect the charging
connector and then perform the charging operation again.
■ Charging indicator
●The charging indicator illuminates if the Remote Climate Control ( P. 228)
is used during charging or while the charging cable is connected.
● If a system malfunction occurs during charging or when the Remote Climate
Control is in use, the indicator will flash for approximately 10 seconds and
then turn off.
A warning message will appear on the multi-information display when the
power switch will be turned to ON mode next time. Follow the instructions in
the message. ( P. 355)
■ When the outside temperature is low or high
The level shown on the SOC (State of Charge) gauge ( P. 105) may drop
slightly when the power switch is tu rned to ON mode, even if charging has
been completed and the traction battery is fully charged. However, this does
not indicate a malfunction.

1905-4. How to charge
■Charging time may increase
In the following situations, charging time may become longer than normal:
●In very hot or very cold temperatures.
● The vehicle is consuming a lot of electricity (the headlights or audio system
are on).
● There is a power outage during charging.
● Supply power is adjusted at charging stations.
● The supply voltage is unstable.
● The charge in the 12-volt battery is low, for example due to the vehicle being
left unused for a long period of time.
■ Capacity reduction of the traction battery
The charge of the traction battery will decline gradually when the traction bat-
tery is in use.
The rate at which it declines will differ in accordance with environmental con-
ditions and the way in which the vehicle is used. By observing the following
precautions, battery charge decline can be suppressed.
●Avoid charging during extremely hot weather.
● Avoid parking the vehicle in areas with a high temperature under direct sun-
light when the battery is fully charged.
● Do not charge the battery when the battery temperature is high. ( P. 109)
● Do not repeatedly perform charging when the battery is close to fully
charged.
● Use normal charging as much as possible.
● Charge battery only when low if not driving often to maximize battery life.
● If the vehicle will not be used for a long time, do not have the battery fully
charged. However, do not leave it completely discharged.
● Use the charging timer function as much as possible in order to fully charge
the traction battery immediately before starting off (the timer function cannot
be used during quick charging).
