PRIUS PHV_OM_OM47818U_(U)
Press the test button on the
CCID (Charging Circuit Inter-
rupting Device) to check that
the electrical leakage detec-
tion function operates prop-
erly.
If the error warning indicator
illuminates when the test but-
ton is pressed, the function is
operating correctly.
After the test has been com-
pleted, press the reset button
to turn off the error warning
indicator. Charging cannot be
carried out while the error
warning indicator is illumi-
nated.
If the error warning indicator
does not come on even if the
test button is pressed, it is
likely that the function is not
operating correctly. Stop
charging immediately and con-
tact your Toyota dealer.

ing.)
Charging will not start if the
charging indicator does not illu-
minate when the charging con-
nector is inserted. (P. 9 9 )
The amount of time until charg-
ing is completed can be
checked on the energy monitor

■Charging messages
The first time the “POWER”
switch is turned to ON mode
after charging is completed, a
message detailing the results of
the charging will be displayed.
Also, if an operation which can-
not be carried out is attempted
during charging, a warning mes-
sage will be displayed.
( P. 562)
Comply with the instructions in
the message and carry out any
necessary operations.
The message may not be dis-
played if the Remote Air Condi-
tioning System ( P. 371) has
been used.
■ Amount of time until charging is complete
Charging fully from an EV driving range of 0 mile (0 km) ( P. 58) will take
approximately 2.5 hours (AC120 V).
The amount of time until charging is complete will change in accordance with
the amount of charge remaining in the hybrid battery (traction battery), the
outside temperature, etc.
■ During charging
● The surface of the CCID (Charging Circuit Interrupting Device) may
become hot, but this does not indicate a malfunction.
● Depending on radio wave conditions, interference may be heard on the
radio.

CAUTION
■Battery charger
The battery charger is located under the luggage compartment. Observe the
following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause death or serious injury from burns or electric
shocks.
● Do not touch the battery charger during charging, as it becomes hot.
● Do not disassemble, repair or modify the battery charger.
If repair is necessary, consult 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. 102). 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.

nectedThe latch release but-
ton is being pressed.
For safety purposes,
charging will be inter-
rupted when the latch
release button is

(P. 9 1 )
When connecting the
charging connector to
the vehicle, insert it into
the charging inlet with-
out pressing the latch
release button.
The charging connec-
tor is not properly con-
nected to the charging
inlet. Check that the charg-
ing connector is firmly
connected to the
charging inlet.

does not illuminate
even though the charg-
ing connector is firmly
connected, there may
be a problem in the
system. Stop charging
