■When a malfunction occurs during charging
The indicators on the CCID (Charging Circuit Interrupting Device)
use a combination of different statuses (not illuminated, illuminated
or flashing) to inform the user of internal malfunctions.
When the error warning indicator is illuminated or flashing, temporarily
remove the plug from the outlet and then reconnect it to check if the
error indicator turns off.
If the error warning indicator turns off, charging is now possible.
If it does not turn off, perform the correction procedure in the following
chart.
*1: When this occurs, charging is carried out without a limited charging current.

WARNING
■When using the charging cable and CCID (Charging Circuit Interrupt-
ing Device)
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause an unexpected accident, 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 apply excessive force to the charging cable by forcefully folding,
twisting, pulling or dragging the charging cable.
●Do not damage the charging cable with sharp objects.
●Do not fold the charging connector or plug or insert foreign objects into
them.
●Do not put the charging connector and plug into water.
●Do not bring the charging cable to a high-temperature item such as a heat-
ing device.
●Do not apply a load to the charging cable and plug-cord (such as wrapping
the charging cable around the CCID (Charging Circuit Interrupting Device)
and the charging connector).
●Do not use or leave the charging cable in situations where a load is
applied to the outlet and the plug (such as when the CCID (Charging Cir-
cuit Interrupting Device) is hanging in the air without contacting the
ground).
NOTICE
■When use the charging cable and related parts
P. 155
■Precautions for low temperatures
In low temperatures, the charging cable and plug-cord may become hard.
Therefore, make sure to not apply excessive force when they are hard. If
excessive force is applied to the hardened charging cable and plug-cord,
they may be damaged.

For safety, inspect the charging cable on a routine basis.
Inspecting and maintaining the charging cable
WARNING
■Routine inspection
Check the following points regularly.
Failure to do so may cause an unexpected accident, 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 outlet
●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.
Remove the plug from the outlet before inspecting it. If any abnormalities
are found in the charging cable as a result of the inspection, immediately
stop use and consult your Toyota dealer.
■Maintaining the charging cable
When the charging cable is dirty, first remove the dirt with a hard, wringed
cloth, and then wipe the cable with a dry cloth.
However, never wash it with water. If the charging cable is washed with
water, fire or electric shock may occur during charging, possibly resulting in
death or serious injury.
■When not using the charging 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.
