Step 1 Pull the charging connector toward you while pressing the latch release
button.
If the charging connector is
disconnected during charging (while
the charging indicator indicates the
vehicle is being charged), charging
will be interrupted.
Step 2 Attach the charging connector cap.
Firmly push the charging port cap
and charging port door, and check
that they are securely locked.
Step 3 Close the charging port cap, and then close the charging port door.
- Hold the body of the plug while
removing.
- Make sure to put the cable away immediately after disconnecting.
- When leaving the plug inserted, check the plug and connector once a month
for accumulation of dirt or dust.
Step 4 Remove the plug from the electrical receptacle when the charging
equipment will not be used for a long period of time.
Depending on the charge settings, the vehicle may not start charging just by
plugging in the charging cable. Use the navigation screen to set the charging and
Pre-climate/remote climate control schedules. Before either function starts, it is
recommended that:
-Parking brake is securely set with shift position in “P”
-All windows and doors are closed
-Engine hood is securely closed
-All lights are turned off
When the EV System is turned off, the screen changes to the charging and
Pre-climate settings screen. If no operations are performed for approximately 30
seconds, the screen turns off.

Star Safety SystemTM
VSC helps prevent loss of traction during cornering by reducing power from the EV
System and applying brake force to selected wheels.
Toyota’s VSC monitors steering angle and the direction your vehicle is traveling.
When it senses that the front or rear wheels begin to lose traction, VSC reduces
power from the EV System and applies braking to selected wheels. This helps
restore traction and vehicle control.
Vehicle Stability Control (VSC)
Anti-Lock Brake System (ABS)
ABS helps prevent brakes from locking up by “pulsing” brake pressure to each
wheel. This limits brake lockup and helps provide directional control for the
current road conditions.
Toyota’s ABS sensors detect which wheels are locking up and limits wheel lockup
by “pulsing” each wheel’s brakes independently. Pulsing releases brake pressure
repeatedly for fractions of a second. This helps the tires attain the traction that
current road conditions will allow, helping you to stay in directional control.
Brake Assist (BA)
Brake Assist is designed to detect sudden or “panic” braking, and then add braking
pressure to help decrease the vehicle’s stopping distance. When there’s only a
split second to react, Brake Assist can add additional brake pressure more quickly
than just the driver alone can. VSC helps prevent loss of traction during cornering by reducing power from the EV
System, and Traction Control helps maintain traction on loose gravel and wet, icy,
or uneven surfaces by applying brake force to the spinning wheel(s).
Toyota’s TRAC sensors are activated when one of the drive wheels starts to slip.
TRAC limits motor output and applies the brakes to the spinning wheel. This
transfers power to the wheels that still have traction to help keep you on track.
Traction Control (TRAC)
Electronic Brake Force Distribution (EBD)
Toyota’s ABS technology has Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD) to help
maintain control and balance when braking. Abrupt stops can cause a vehicle
to tilt forward, reducing the braking power of the rear wheels. EBD responds to
sudden stops by redistributing brake force to enhance the braking effectiveness of
all four wheels.
There are two types of Toyota floor mats: carpeted and all-weather. Each vehicle
has model-specific floor mats. Installation is easy.
To keep your floor mat properly positioned, follow these steps:
• Only use floor mats designed for your specific model.
• Use only one floor mat at a time, using the retaining hooks to keep the mat in
place.
• Install floor mats right side up.

SAFETY AND EMERGENCY FEATURES
All new Toyota vehicles come standard with the Star Safety SystemTM, which
combines Vehicle Stability Control (VSC), Traction Control (TRAC), Anti-lock Braking
System (ABS), Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD), Brake Assist (BA) and Smart
Stop Technology (SST).Smart Stop Technology automatically reduces driving torque when the accelerator
and brake pedals are pressed simultaneously.
SST engages when the accelerator is depressed first and the brakes are applied
firmly for longer than one-half second at speeds greater than five miles per hour.
SST doesn’t engage if the brake pedal is depressed before the accelerator pedal,
allowing vehicles to start on a steep hill and safely accelerate without rolling
backward.
