Plug-in hybrid system
equipped with a Residual Cur -
rent Circuit-Breaker (RCCB). If it
is not, have one installed by a
duly qualified professional.
 When charging outdoors, make
sure to connect to a rain-tight
socket that is certified for outdoor
use. Checking Residual Current
Circuit-Breaker (RCCB) opera -
tion before its use is recom -
mended.
 Check whether there are any
local EV-charging regulations in
place, and adhere to them.
*: For detailed informa tion, consult an
electrician.
■The charging environment
For safe charging, the following charging equipment and settings are
recommended.
●Rain-tight socket
When charging outdoors, connect the
plug to a rain-tight socket, and ensure
that the plug remains waterproof while
the plug is connected.
●Dedicated circuit
• To reduce the risk of fire, connect only to an at least 13A branch circuit with
an over-current protection.
• To reduce the risk of electric shock when working with the plug, connect
to a socket that has a Residual Cur-
rent Circuit-Breaker (RCCB) installed.
●Remote switch
Allows the electricity from the socket to
be interrupted by operating a switch,
thus allowing safe removal and insertion
of the plug on rainy days.
■When your circuit breaker trips
during charging
The upper limit of the charging current
can be changed in “Vehicle Settings” on
the multi-information display.
1 Press or of the meter control
switches to select .
2 Press or of the meter control
switches to select “ Vehicle Settings”,
and then press and hold .
3 Press or of the meter control
switches to select “Charging Set -
tings”, and then press .
The “Charging Settings” screen will
be displayed.
4 Press or of the meter control
switches to select “Charging Cur -
rent”, and then press .
The “Charging Current” screen will
be displayed.
5 Press or of the meter control
switches to select “16A”*1 or “8A”,
and then press .
The maximum charging current
during charging will be restricted to
16A*1 or 8A.*2
If the breaker still tri ps while charging,
even after changing the upper limit of
the charging current , check if the con- nected power sourc e meets the speci-
fied charging conditions. ( →P.124)*1: Vehicles with 6.6 kW onboard trac-
tion battery charger only
*2: Restricting the charging current will
lengthen the charging time.
WARNING
■Power sources precautions
Observe the following precautions.
If you do not follow them, fire, electri-
cal shock and/or damages may occur,
possibly resulting in death or serious injury.

Plug-in hybrid system
■Hybrid battery (traction bat -
tery) warming control (Green -
land only)
This control operates after the AC
charging cable remains connected
to the vehicle for 3 days and “Bat -
tery Heater” autom atically stops. It
automatically insulates the hybrid
battery (traction battery) in
extremely low temperatures.
 This control stops 31 days after
the AC charging cable is con -
nected, even if it is still con -
nected to the vehicle.
 When this control operates,
charging schedule settings are
ignored and charging starts.
■“Battery Cooler”
When the hybrid battery (traction
battery) is hot and the AC charging
cable is connected to the vehicle,
this function cools the hybrid bat -
tery (traction battery) before
charging is carried out.
“Battery Cooler” will operate when
the “Battery Cooler” of the
“Charging Settings” on the multi-
information di splay is on. (→P.187)
■Traction battery heating and cool-
ing system (“Battery Heater” and “Battery Cooler”)
●The system operates when the hybrid battery (traction battery) is below or
above a certain temperature.
●The system may operate when
charging is not being performed.
●When the charging schedule is used
( →P.144), this function will operate
according to the charging schedule.
■“Battery Heater”
●When “Battery Heat er” is operating,
the charging indi cator illuminates.
●When the AC charging cable is
removed from the v ehicle or remains
connected to the ve hicle for approxi- mately 3 days, t he system automati-
cally stops.
●When “Battery Heat er” is operating
during charging, the charging time
may be longer than normal.
●If the outside temperature becomes
high while “Batter y Heater” is operat- ing, charging may complete earlier
than the “Departure” time set.
( →P.144)
●When the traction battery is almost
completely charged , “Battery Cooler” may not be implemented.
●When the following operations are performed while “Battery Heater” is
operating, the hybrid battery (traction
battery) heating operation stops. • The shift lever is changed to any posi-
tion other than P
• The Remote Air Conditioning System is operated ( →P.460)
●“Battery Heater” may operate even when the hybrid battery (traction bat -
tery) is fully charged depending on the
temperature of the hybrid battery (traction battery).
• The remaining charge of the hybrid
battery (traction battery) decreases when “Battery Heater” operates. The
charging operation may start again to
charge the hybrid battery (traction bat - tery).
• “Charging Stopped Due to Pulled
Charging Connector” may be shown
when the charging connector is removed while recharging. ( →P.160)

When the system dete rmines that there
is no time to finish c harging by the set
scheduled departure time, it starts
charging. Check the charging schedules.
AC charging cable was removed and
reinserted while charging indicator of the
charging port was flashing
If the AC charging cable is removed and
reinserted while the charging indicator is
