CAUTION
■
Caution while charging
People with implantable cardiac pacemakers or cardiac resynchronization
therapy-pacemakers should keep away from the charging equipment and/or
charging cables while the vehicle is charging.
Charging may affect the operation of such devices.
■ When charging
Follow these points when charging. If you do not follow them, fire or electri-
cal shock may occur, possibly resulting in death or serious injury.
● Connect to a power source suitable for charging. ( P. 82)
● Check that the outlet, charging cable and charging inlet are not damaged\
.
● Check that the tips of the plug have not been deformed.
● If the plug is dirty or dusty, clean it before inserting.
● Only use sockets where the plug can be securely inserted.
● Plugging into the outlet that is located in a spot that is not high above the
ground or floor is recommended.
● Insert the plug firmly into the outlet.
● Do not touch the electrical terminals of the charging connector or short it
with foreign objects.
● Do not get water in the charging inlet.
Do not wash the vehicle while the charging cable is connected to the vehi-
cle. ( P. 431)
● Do not touch metal objects or pointed objects (needles etc.) to the port of
the charging inlet.
● Do not charge if the charging cable is coiled or bundled.

CAUTION
■When charging
●Wrapping 120 V charging cable while in-use is not recommended because
cable may overheat. Failure to rewrap charging cable when not in-use
could result in strangulation or tripping hazard.
● After connecting the charging cable, confirm that it is not bent.
● Do not place heavy objects on the charging cable.
● If charging is interrupted, remove the charging connector before removing
the plug.
● When charging outdoors, make sure to connect to a weatherproof outlet
for outdoor use.
Also, if rain falls during charging, take care that rainwater does not run
along the length of cable and enter the outlet.
● Do not insert the plug if the outlet is submerged in water or snow.
If the plug has already been inserted and it is necessary to remove it, first
switch the circuit breaker OFF, then remove the plug.
● Follow these points when charging while it is raining or snowing.
• Check that no snow, water or ice has accumulated around the charging
connector terminals and the vehicle charging inlet. Tap snow, water or
ice gently from connector prior to inserting charging connector into the
vehicle’s charging inlet.
• Do not connect the plug if your hands are wet. Also, do not get the plug or outlet wet.
● Do not charge the vehicle during a lightning storm.
If you notice lightning while charging the vehicle, turn the circuit breaker
OFF and do not touch the vehicle and the charging cable.
■ After charging
Remove the plug if it will not be used for a long time.
Dirt and dust may accumulate plug or outlet, which could cause a
malfunction or fire, possibly leading to death or serious injury.

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.

A problem has occurred during chargingRefer to the following table and carry out the appropriate correction
procedure.
SituationReasonCorrection procedure
The power indicator on
the CCID (Charging
Circuit Interrupting
Device) does not illumi-
nate even when con-
nected to a power
source The plug is not properly
connected with the out-
let.
Insert the plug firmly
into the outlet.
There is a power out-
age. Restart charging once
power has been
restored.
The circuit breaker has
activated. Check the circuit
breaker.
If there is nothing
unusual, connect to
another outlet and
check that charging is
possible.
If charging is possible,
there is probably a
problem with the first
outlet. Contact your
building manager or an
electrician.
The charging cable
connecting the CCID
(Charging Circuit Inter-
rupting Device) with
the plug is damaged. Stop charging immedi-
ately, and contact your
Toyota dealer.

Inspecting the charging cable
Inspecting the electrical leakage detection function
Check that the electrical leakage detection function operates properly
by following the procedure below.
In the unlikely event that the elec trical leakage detection function
does not operate properly, contact your Toyota dealer as soon as
possible.
Insert the charging cable into the outlet of the external power
source.
Press the test button on the
CCID (Charging Circuit Interrupt-
ing Device).
If the error warning indicator illu-
minates when the test button is
pressed, the function is operating
correctly.
Press the reset button on the CCID (Charging Circuit Inter-
rupting Device).
Check that the error warning indicator turns off. Charging cannot be
