10 The Prius Prime system has features of both electric and hybrid vehicles. Electricity
received by charging from an external power source can be used to supplement
hybrid energy, and the vehicle can also be driven as an electric vehicle using only
the electric motor. The EV driving range can be extended by using regenerative
braking to store electricity in the traction battery.
ELECTRIC VEHICLE SYSTEM
Charging equipment
The charge cable included with the vehicle is designed to be connected only to
an AC 120V power source.
NOTE:Toyota recommends installing a heavier-duty 15-amp wall receptacle
with GFCI (Ground-Fault Circuit-Interrupter). Refer to Owner’s Manual for more details.

11 The Prius Prime may be charged immediately, or scheduled to charge at a
specific time. Before charging, it is recommended that:
• Parking brake is securely set
• All lights are turned off
• The POWER switch is OFF
Refer to “Things to Know Before Charging,” in the Owner’s Manual before
attempting to charge the hybrid battery.
Step 1 Plug the charge cable into the outlet of the external power source.
NOTE: Hanging the CCID on a hook is recommended to reduce the strain on
the outlet and charge cable plug.
OVERVIEW ELECTRIC VEHICLE SYSTEM FEATURES & OPERATIONS TOYOTA SAFETY SENSE SAFETY &
EMERGENCY FEATURES
START CHARGING
- Make sure to hold the body of the plug and insert it
firmly into the outlet.
- Check that the power indicator of the CCID (Charging
Circuit Interrupting Device) is illuminated.
- Check the status of the automatic system check that
runs before charging to detect electrical leakage. If a
malfunction is detected, an error warning indicator
flashes.
- The surface of the CCID may become hot, but this
does not indicate a malfunction.
Step 2 Press the charge port lid to open and the charging inlet light will illuminate.
NOTE: For vehicles with smart lid & connector locking system, unlock doors
first.
For more information or to change settings for the smart lid and charging connector
function, refer to Owner’s Manual.

Hybrid Synergy Drive System
FEATURES & OPERATIONS
The Hybrid Synergy Drive System utilizes a computer-controlled gasoline engine
and electric motor to provide the most efficient combination of power for the
vehicle. To conserve energy, when the brakes are applied the braking force
generates electricity which is then sent to the traction battery. In addition, the
engine shuts off when the vehicle is stopped. The benefits are better fuel economy,
reduced vehicle emissions and improved performance.
NOTE: Fuel consumption and energy information of the Hybrid System are
shown on the Multi-Information Display.
-Ensure tire pressures are maintained at levels specified in the Owner’s Manual.
-When possible, link trips to reduce engine cold starts.
-Avoid driving at speeds that are higher than necessary, especially on the highway.
-When possible, avoid sudden stops to maximize regenerative braking energy.
-Minimize use of the air conditioning.
(1) Depress the brake pedal, and press the
“POWER” switch briefly and firmly.
(2) The “READY” light will blink. After a few
seconds, when the light remains steady
and a beep sounds, you may begin
driving.
