Before driving
Check the status of the charging indicator.
The charging indicator consists of
2 lights that display charging status
by illuminating, flashing a nd turning off as follows.
The indicator lights will not flash or turn on when the charging cable is
not connected properly.
During charging, current charging status and the estimated time until
charging will be completed can be confirmed on the multi-information dis-
play or navigation display. ( P. 74)
The error warning indicator of the CCID (Charging Circuit Interrupting
Device) has illuminated during charging: P. 8 8

attempted, a warning message
will be shown.
Comply with the instructions in
the message and perform any
necessary operations. (P. 443)
Confirming current charge settings

■
When not using the vehicle for an extended period of time
In order to preserve the traction battery, Toyota recommends plugging in the
vehicle whenever it is not in use.
Pre-climate operations will occur while the amount of charge remaining in
the traction battery is more than 50% at the time pre-climate operations
begin. If the schedule is left set, pre-climate operations will continue to func-
tion up to the maximum of 15 minutes even if the vehicle is not used for
extended periods of time. Because this uses energy from the traction bat-
tery, temporarily suspend the pre-climate schedule (smart phone exclusive
setting P. 58) or delete the pre-climate schedule, if the vehicle is not being
regularly used.
When using navigation screen operations, only canceling the schedule is
available. Because the schedule will need to be set once again when it is
used next time, Toyota recommends using a smart phone and temporarily
suspending the schedule.
■ If the amount of charge remaining in the traction battery becomes low
while driving
The driving power restriction output control warning light illuminates and
driving range is extended by automatically restricting driving power and air
conditioning system operations. Using the navigation system, promptly
search for the closest charging station and charge the vehicle. If the traction
battery fully discharges, driving will not be possible.
For information on how to search for a charging station, refer to the “Naviga-
tion System Owner's Manual”.
■ Charging schedule confirmation disp lay after switching the EV system
off
The current charging schedule will be displayed for a while after the EV sys-
tem is turned off. To change the charging schedule, set the schedule using
the navigation system’s screen. ( P. 64, 70)
■ If the charging port door is frozen

CAUTION
■Precautions for the pre-climate
Do not use pre-climate if people are in the vehicle.
Even when pre-climate is used, the temperature inside the vehicle may
become very high or very low due to features such as the automatic shut-off.
Do not leave children and/or pets inside the vehicle.
●When in the sun, the temperature inside a vehicle with all its windows
closed may rise rapidly, possibly causing heat stroke or dehydration.
● When in cold weather, the temperature inside the vehicle may drop rapidly,
possibly causing hypothermia.
Both of the above cases can lead to a serious health hazard or even deat\
h.
■ Handling the traction battery
No part of the traction battery can be repaired by you or a non-Toyota techni-
cian. Never open the traction battery or perform any modifications to it. If you
find a malfunction with the battery, always contact your Toyota dealer.
■ If the error warning indicator on the CCID (Charging Circuit Interrupt-
ing Device) stays on during charging
Press the reset button on the CCID (Charging Circuit Interrupting Device)
(P. 91). If the error warning indicator does not turn off even when the reset
button is pressed, an electrical leakage may be occurring in the path to the
power source, or there may be a problem with the charging cable or the
charging system. In this event, stop charging immediately, remove the
charging cable and contact your Toyota dealer. An accident may occur or
damage may be inflicted if charging continues.
■ When the charging cable is connected to the vehicle
Do not operate the shift lever.
In the unlikely event that the charging cable has been damaged, the shift
position may change from P to another position and the vehicle could move,
possibly leading to an accident.

Inspecting the charging cable
Inspecting the electrical leakage detection function
Check that the electrical leakage detection function operates properly
by following the procedure below.
In the unlikely event that the elec trical leakage detection function
does not operate properly, contact your Toyota dealer as soon as
possible.
Insert the charging cable into t he electrical receptacle of the
external power source.
Press the test button on the
CCID (Charging Circuit Interrupt-
ing Device).
If the error warning indicator illu-
minates when the test button is
pressed, the function is operating
correctly.
Press the reset button on the CCID (Charging Circuit Inter-
rupting Device).
Turn off the error warning indicator. Charging cannot be carried out

Caution while driving
●Keep the back door closed while driving.
If the back door is left open, it may hit near-by objects while driving or lug-
gage may be unexpectedly thrown out, causing an accident.
● Before driving the vehicle, make sure that the back door is fully closed. If
the back door is not fully closed, it may open unexpectedly while driving,
causing an accident.
● Never let anyone sit in the luggage compartment. In the event of sudden
braking or a collision, they are susceptible to death or serious injury.
● Do not get on the rear step bumper.
■ Caution while parking
If the open back door hides the stop, tail or rear turn signal lights, other road
users must be warned of the presence of your vehicle by a warning triangle
or other device.
■ When children are in the vehicle
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
●Do not leave children alone in the luggage compartment.
If a child is accidentally locked in the luggage compartment, they could
have heat exhaustion.
● Do not allow a child to open or close the back door.
Doing so may cause the back door to move unexpectedly, or cause the
child’s hands, head, or neck to be caught by the closing back door.
