ported by iPhone’s that support
7.5 W charging.
• Charging at 10 W or less is sup-
ported by smartphones compliant
with EPP output as defined by
WPC standard Ver1.2.4.
■Using the smart key system
Charging will be suspended for the
smart key system to detect the elec-
tronic key during charging such as
when the electronic key has been
brought outside the vehicle. When
the electronic key is detected,
charging will automatically start
again.
■When covers and accessories
are attached to smartphones
Do not charge in situations where
cover and accessories not able to
handle Qi are attached to the smart-
phone. Depending on the type of
cover (including for certain genuine
manufacturer parts) and accessory,
it may not be possible to charge.
When charging is not performed
even with the smartphone placed on
the charge area, remove the cover
and accessories.
■When a smartphone is placed
on the charging area
The application may be opened
unintentionally such as when the
switch on the side of the smart-
phone is pressed. Prevent this from
occurring such as by changing your
smartphone settings as necessary.
■Noise enters the AM radio while
charging
●Turn off the wireless charger and
confirm that the noise has
decreased. If the noise
decreases, continuously pushing
the power supply switch of the
wireless charger for 2 seconds,
the frequency of the charger can
be changed and the noise can be
reduced.
Also, on that occasion, the opera-
tion indicator light will flash orange
2 times.
●iPhone’s use a particular fre-
quency for rapid charging.
Depending on the iOS version,
rapid charging may not be per-
formed while switching frequen-
cies.
■Important points of the wireless
charger
●If the electronic key cannot be
detected within the vehicle inte-
rior, charging cannot be done.
When the door is opened and
closed, charging may be tempo-
rarily suspended.
●When charging, the wireless
charging device and smartphone
will get warmer, however this is
not a malfunction.
When a smartphone gets warm
while charging, charging may stop
due to the protection function on
the smartphone side. In this case,
when the temperature of the
smartphone drops significantly,
charge again.

■Power outlets
●With these power outlets, use
devices which operate on 120
VAC and have a combined maxi-
mum power consumption of 1500
W or less. If a device is connected
and the power consumption is
exceeded, a protection circuit may
be activated and the power supply
function may be stopped.
●Some of the devices that con-
sume a large amount of power,
such as an electric grille, may
require the exclusive use of the
power outlets. When such a
device is connected, do not con-nect other device(s) to the power
outlets.
●When multiple devices are con-
nected, depending on the device,
a connected device may not oper-
ate properly. For such a device,
use exclusively the power outlets.
●When a power outlet is being
used, depending on the device to
be used, the current flow may be
high and the initial peak wattage
may exceed 1500 W.
●When a power outlet is being
used, depending on the device to
be used, it may cause interference
with TV and radio broadcasts.
●While a power outlet is being
used, a cooling fan sound may be
heard from near a luggage com-
partment. This does not indicate a
malfunction.
■Devices which may not operate
properly
The following devices may not oper-
ate properly even if the combined
power consumption is 1500 W or
less:
●Devices with high initial peak watt-
age
●Devices requiring larger amount of
power supply than the power con-
sumption specified in its instruc-
tion manual
●Measuring devices that process
precise data
●Devices that require an extremely
stable power supply
●Devices that require a constant
power supply from the power out-
let, such as a device with a timer.
■Idling stop regulations
The engine starts automatically and
charging is performed when the
remaining charge of the hybrid bat-
tery (traction battery) decreases,
etc. Some local governments have
regulations against starting the
engine while parked or stopped.
Use the power outlets appropriately
Power outlet (1500 W)
The system allows the on-
board use of electric
devices which operate on
120 VAC and have a com-
bined power consumption
of 1500 W or less.
Depending on the country
or region where used, it is
not recommended to supply
power to electrical devices
outside of the vehicle as
this may be in conflict with
applicable regulations.
When supplying power to
electrical devices outside of
the vehicle, confirm with the
related local governments
regarding the applicable
regulations in each country
and region in advance. In
addition, be careful not to
drag electrical appliances or
cords when moving the
vehicle.
