2015-4. How to charge
5
Driving
CAUTION
●When the traction battery is charged in rain or snow, check that no water,
snow or ice has accumulated around the charging connector terminals
and the vehicle charging inlet. Tap snow, water or ice gently from connec-
tor prior to inserting charging connector into the vehicle’s charging inlet.
● Do not charge the traction battery when there is a possibility of lightning.
If you notice lightning while charging the vehicle, do not touch the vehicle
and the charging cable.
■ Warning while charging
The radiator cooling fan may start operating similar to when the EV system
is operated. Do not touch or get close to the operating cooling fan. Doing so
could cause a part of your body or clothes to be entangled with the fan,
resulting in serious injury.
■ When the charging cable is connected to the vehicle
Do not operate the shift lever.
In the unlikely event that the charging cable has been damaged, the shift
position may change from P to another position and the vehicle could move,
possibly leading to an accident.
■ When a quick charger is used
Use quick chargers compliant with the CHAdeMO specifications to charge
the battery. If a quick charger that is not compliant with CHAdeMO is used,
fire or electrical shock may occur, possibly resulting in death or serious
injury.
NOTICE
■When the battery is char ged with quick chargers
Follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer of the quick charger.
Incorrect use of the quick charger could cause damage to the vehicle or the
quick charger.
■ After charging
After the charging connector is disconnected from the charging inlet, close
the charging inlet cap and recharge inlet door.
If the recharge inlet door is left open, water or foreign objects may enter the
charging inlet, which could cause damage to the vehicle.

2787-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance
The coolant level is satisfactory if it is between the “F” (Full) and “L”
(Low) lines on the reservoir when the EV system is cold.
Reservoir cap
“F” line
“L” line
If the level is on or below the “L”
line, add coolant up to the “F”
line. ( P. 390)
■Coolant selection
Only use “Toyota Super Long Life Coolant” or a similar high quality ethylene
glycol based non-silicate, non-amine, non-nitrite, and non-borate coolant with
long-life hybrid organic acid technology.
“Toyota Super Long Life Coolant” is a mixture of 50% coolant and 50% deion-
ized water. (Minimum temperature: -31 F [-35 C])
For more details about inverter coolant, contact your Scion dealer.
■ If the coolant level drops within a short time of replenishing
Visually check the radiator, hoses, inverter coolant reservoir cap, drain cock
and water pump.
If you cannot find a leak, have your Scion dealer test the cap and check for
leaks in the cooling system.

CAUTION
■When the EV system is hot
Do not remove the inverter coolant reservoir cap. ( P. 391)
The cooling system may be under pressure and may spray hot coolant if the
cap is removed, causing serious injuries, such as burns.

3918-2. Steps to take in an emergency
8
When trouble arises
Add inverter coolant if nec-
essary. (P. 398)
Water can be used in an emer-
gency if inverter coolant is
unavailable.
Have the vehicle inspected at the nearest Scion dealer as soon as
possible.
■Overheating
If you observe the following, your vehicle may be overheating:
●“EV SYSTEM OVERHEAT” is shown on the multi-information display.
● EV system output decreases.
● Steam comes out from under the hood.
5
CAUTION
■When inspecting under the hood of your vehicle
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in serious injury such as burns.
● If steam is seen coming from under the hood, do not open the hood until
the steam has subsided. The motor compartment will be very hot.
● Keep hands and clothing away from the fan, etc. while the EV system is
operating.
● Even if EV system has stopped, the cooling fan may begin to move sud-
denly. Do not touch or approach the rotating parts of the fan. Doing so may
lead to fingers, clothes or tools getting caught, resulting in injury.
●Do not loosen the coolant reservoir cap
while the EV system and radiator are
hot.
High temperature steam or coolant
could spray out.
