2-2. Charging
Plug-in hybrid system
This vehicle has been designed to
allow charging from an external
power source using a AC charging
cable for exclusive use with stan -
dard household AC sockets.
However, the vehicle differs greatly
from standard household electrical
goods in the following ways, and
incorrect usage could cause fire or
electric shock, possibly leading to
death or serious injury.
 The charging operation is
designed to ope rate at 8A-10A
continuously for the charge dura -
tion (approximately 9 hours).
( →P.127)
 Charging can be conducted out-
doors.
To charge properly, follow the pro -
cedure after reading the explana -
tion below. Charging is intended to
be carried out by licensed drivers
only who properly understand the
charging procedure.
 Do not allow children to use the
AC charging cable without
supervision. Also, keep the AC
charging cable out of reach of
infants.
 When charging with a charger,
follow the procedures for using
each charger.
 When charging using a public
charging facility, check the set -
ting of the charging schedule
function.
• When the charging schedule is regis -
tered, temporarily turn off the function
or turn “Charge Now” on. ( →P.145)
• When the charging schedule is set to
on, charging will not start even if the
