■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 che ck 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 h eat 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 at tached 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 wi ll 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.

WARNING
■Power sources precautions
Observe the following precautions.
If you do not follow them, fire, electrical shock or damage may occur, possi-
bly resulting in death or serious injury.
● Connect to an AC 120 V outlet (NEMA 5-15R) with a Ground-Fault Circuit-
Interrupter (GFCI) and supplied by a circuit breaker per your l ocal code.
Use of a 15A individual circuit is strongly recommended.
● Use of a block heater for charging is prohibited.
● Make sure to connect the charging connector and charging inlet directly.
Do not connect a converting adaptor or extension cord between t he
charging connector and charging inlet.
● Do not connect the charging cable to a
multi-outlet adaptor, multi-plugs, or con-
version plug.
● Connecting the charging cable to an
extension cord is strictly prohibited. The
extension cord may overheat and does
not contain a Ground-Fault Circuit-Inter-
rupter (GFCI). The leakage detection
function of the CCID (Charging Circuit
Interrupting Device) may not operate
correctly.
● Do not connect to a power strip.

1. Charging operation
When the charging cable is con-
nected to the charging inlet, the
user is informed of the charging
status of the hybrid battery (trac-
tion battery) by the statuses of 3
indicators (turned off, illuminated
or flashing).
■When the hybrid battery (tract ion battery) is fully charged
When the charging cable is connected, all 3 hybrid battery (tra ction battery)
status indicators illuminate to inform the user that the hybrid battery (traction
battery) is fully charged.
The illumination/flashing pattern
changes to inform the user of the
charging status.

How to charge
This vehicle has been designed to allow charging from an external
power source using a charging cabl e for exclusive use with standard
household AC outlets.
However, the vehicle differs greatly from standard household el ectri-
cal goods in the following ways, and incorrect usage could caus e fire
or electric shock, pos sibly leading to death or serious injury.
● The charging operation is designed to operate at 12A continuous ly
for the charge duration (up to 5 hours 10 minutes).
● Charging can be conducted outdoors.
To charge properly, follow the procedure after reading the expl anation
below. Charging is intended to be carried out by licensed drive rs only
who properly understand the charging procedure.
● Do not allow children to use the charging cable without supervision.
Also, keep the charging cabl e out of reach of infants.
● When charging with a charger, follow the procedures for using e ach
charger.
● When charging using a public cha rging facility, check the setting of
the charging schedule function. • When the charge schedule is registered, temporarily turn off t he
function or turn “ Charge Now” on.
• When the charge sche dule is set to ON, charging will not start
even if the charging cable is connected. Also, charging fee may
occur due to connection of the charging cable.
Charging precautions

1. Charging operation
Before charging, always check the following items.
● The parking brake is applied.
● The headlights are switched off or set to AUTO, and lights such as
the emergency flashers and interi or lights etc. are switched off.
If these light switches are turned ON, then these features will consume
electricity, and charging time will increase.
●The power switch is off.
The time required to charge the hybrid battery (traction battery) differs
according to the charging vol tage and charging current.
*1: This is the maximum value.
*2: The time required for charging to complete depends on conditions such as
the remaining charge of the hybrid battery (traction battery), the outside
temperature and specifications of a charger (charging station).
