1. Charging operation
■Safety functions
The CCID (Charging Circuit Interrupting Device) has the following
safety features.
●Electrical leakage detection function
If an electrical leakage is detected during charging, the power
source will be automatically interrupted, thus preventing fires or
electrical shocks caused by electrical leakage.
● Automatic check function
This is an automatic system chec k that is run before charging
begins to check for problems in the operation of the electrical
leakage detection function.
● Temperature detection function
A temperature detection function is equipped to the plug. While
charging, if heat is generated due to looseness on the outlet side
etc., this function suppresses he at by controlling the charging
current.
● Conditions for supplying current to the vehicle
The CCID (Charging Circuit Interrupting Device) is designed to
prevent electrical current from being supplied to the charging
connector when it is not connected to the vehicle, even if the plug
is inserted into the outlet.
●The hybrid system will not start while the charging cable is attached to the
vehicle, even if the power switch is operated.
● If the charging cable is connected while the “READY” indicator is illumi-
nated, the hybrid system will stop automatically and driving will not be possi-
ble.
● When the charging cable is connected to the vehicle, the shift position can-
not be changed from P to another position.

Pull the charging connector
towards you while pressing the
latch release button.
If the charging connector is discon-
nected during charging (while the
charging indicator is on), charging
will be interrupted.
Attach the charging connector cap.
Attach the charging inlet cap and close the charging port lid.
Remove the plug from the outlet when the charging equipment will
not be used for a prolonged period of time.
Hold the body of the plug when removing.
Make sure to put the cable away immediately after disconnecting.
When leaving the plug inserted, inspect the plug and connector once a
month to check if dirt or dust has accumulated.
■Safety function
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.

ing the hybrid system.
Press the power switch
shortly and firmly.
When operating the power
switch, one short, firm press is
enough. It is not necessary to
press and hold the switch.
If the “READY” indicator turns
on, the hybrid system will oper-

Continue depressing the brake pedal until the “READY” indicator is illu-
minated.
The hybrid system can be started from any power switch mode.
Check that the “READY” indicator is illuminated.
If the “READY” indicator changes from a flashing light to a solid light and
the buzzer sounds, the hybrid system is starting normally.
The vehicle will not move when the “READY” indicator is off.
The vehicle can move when the “READY” indicator is on even if the

4. Things you must know
■Conditions in which the gasoline engine may not stop
The gasoline engine starts and stops automatically. However, it may not stop
automatically in the following conditions
*:
● During gasoline engine warm-up
● During hybrid battery (traction battery) charging
● When the temperature of the hybrid battery (traction battery) is high or low
● When the windshield defogger switch is pressed.
*: Depending on the circumstances, the gasoline engine may also not stop
automatically in situations other than those above.
WARNING
■ While driving
Because there is no engine noise when the vehicle is being driven using the
electric motor, pedestrians in the vicinity may not notice the vehicle. Even
though the vehicle is equipped with the vehicle proximity notification sys-
tem, drive with care as pedestrians in the vicinity may still not notice the
vehicle if the surrounding area is noisy.
