NOTICE
■
Hybrid battery (traction battery) air vents
● Do not put foreign objects near the air vents. The hybrid battery (traction
battery) may overheat, leading to a reduction in hybrid battery (traction
battery) output or a malfunction.
● Clean the air vents regularly to prevent the hybrid battery (traction battery)
from overheating.
● Do not wet or allow foreign substances to enter the air vents as this may
cause a short circuit and damage the hybrid battery (traction battery).
● Do not carry large amounts of water such as water cooler bottles in the
vehicle. If water spills onto the hybrid battery (traction battery), the battery
may be damaged. Have the vehicle inspected by your Toyota dealer.
● If the rear seat belt becomes separated from the guide ( P. 150), it could
obstruct the hybrid battery (traction battery) air vent. Set the rear seat belt
into the guide to use.
■ Notice about fuel
For plug-in hybrid vehicles, fuel may remain in the tank for a long time and
undergo changes in quality depending on the how the vehicle is used.
Refuel at least 5.3 gal.(20 L, 4.4 Imp.gal.) of fuel every 6 months (refuel a
total of at least 5.3 gal. [20 L, 4.4 Imp.gal.] over a 6-month period), as this
may affect components of the fuel system or the gasoline engine.

CAUTION
■When using the charging cable and CCID (Charging Circuit Interrupt-
ing Device)
Observe the following precautions.
If you do not follow them, fire, electrical shock or damage may occur, possi-
bly resulting in death or serious injury.
● Do not attempt to disassemble or repair the charging cable, charging con-
nector, plug or CCID (Charging Circuit Interrupting Device).
If a problem arises with the charging cable or the CCID (Charging Circuit
Interrupting Device), stop charging immediately and contact your Toyota
dealer.
● Do not subject the charging cable, charging connector, plug or CCID
(Charging Circuit Interrupting Device) to strong force or impact.
● Do not forcefully fold the charging cable or damage the charging cable
with sharp objects.
● Do not fold the charging connector or plug or insert foreign objects into
them.
● Do hold the body of the charging connector or plug when removing or

PRIUS PHV_OM_OM47787U_(U)
Press the test button on the
CCID (Charging Circuit Inter-
rupting Device) to check that
the electrical leakage detec-
tion function operates prop-
erly.
If the error warning indicator
illuminates when the test but-
ton is pressed, the function is
operating correctly.
After the test has been com-
pleted, press the reset button
to turn off the error warning
indicator. Charging cannot be
carried out while the error
warning indicator is illumi-
nated.
If the error warning indicator
does not come on even if the
test button is pressed, it is
likely that the function is not
operating correctly. Stop
charging immediately and con-
tact your Toyota dealer.

CAUTION
■Battery charger
The battery charger is located under the luggage compartment. Observe the
following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause death or serious injury from burns or electric
shocks.
● Do not touch the battery charger during charging, as it becomes hot.
● Do not disassemble, repair or modify the battery charger.
If repair is necessary, consult your Toyota dealer.
■ If the error warning indicator on the CCID (Charging Circuit Interrupt-
ing Device) stays on during charging
Press the reset button on the CCID (Charging Circuit Interrupting Device)
(P. 102). If the error warning indicator does not turn off even when the
reset button is pressed, an electrical leakage may be occurring in the path to
the power source, or there may be a problem with the charging cable or the
charging system. In this event, stop charging immediately, remove the
charging cable and contact your Toyota dealer. An accident may occur or
damage may be inflicted if charging continues.
■ 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.
