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. 107). 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.

NOTICE
■When charging
Do not insert the plug into the charging inlet.
The charging inlet may be damaged.
■ After charging
●After disconnecting the charging connector from the charging inlet, make
sure to close the charging port lid.
If the charging port lid is left open, water or foreign objects may enter the
charging inlet, which could lead to vehicle damage.
(The charging port lid does not have a lock. Take care not to press and
open the door accidentally.)
● After removing the plug from the outlet, keep it in a safe place free from
moisture and dust.
The charging cable or plug may be damaged if the cable is stepped on or
ridden over by the vehicle.
■ Using private power generators
Do not use private power generators as a power source for charging.
Doing so may make charging unsafe.
■ Usable temperature range
●Do not charge if the outside temperature is -22°F (-30°C) or below, as it is
likely that charging will take longer, and equipment related to charging will
be damaged.
● Do not leave the vehicle or the charging cable in areas where the outside
temperature is lower than -40°F (-40°C) . The vehicle or charging cable will
probably be damaged.

CAUTION
■
Routine inspection
Check the following points regularly.
If use is continued without inspection, fire or electric shock may occur\
,
possibly resulting in death or serious injury.
●The charging cable, plug, charging connector, CCID (Charging Circuit
Interrupting Device) etc. have not been damaged
● The outlet has not been damaged
● The plug can be securely inserted into the socket
● The plug does not get extremely hot during use
● The tip of the plug has not been deformed
● The plug is not dirtied by dust etc.
Inspect the plug after removing it from the outlet.
■ Maintaining the charging cable
When the cable is dirty, first remove the dirt with a hard, wringed cloth, and
then wipe the cable with a dry cloth. Do not wash with water, as doing so
could cause a fire or electrical shock when charging, which could lead to
death or serious injury.
■ When not using the char ging cable for a long time
Remove the plug from the outlet. Dust could accumulate on the plug or in
the outlet, possibly causing overheating which could lead to a fire.
Also, keep the cable in a place free from moisture.
