Safety functions
The CCID (Charging Circuit Interrupting Device) has the following
safety features.
■Electrical leakage detection function
If an electrical leakage is detected during charging, the power
source will be automatically interrupted, thus preventing fires or
electrical shocks caused by electrical leakage.
If the power source is interrupted, the error warning indicator will illumi-
nate.
If the power source is interrupted: →P. 1 0 2
■Electrical leakage test function
The electrical leakage detection function can be tested prior to
charging to confirm that it is operating correctly.
When the test button is pressed while the plug is connected to an exter-
nal power source, the error warning indicator should illuminate.
(→P. 1 0 3 )
■Conditions for supplying current to the vehicle
The CCID (Charging Circuit Interrupting Device) is designed to
prevent electrical current from being supplied to the charging con-
nector when it is not connected to the vehicle, even if the plug is
inserted into the outlet.

CAUTION
■When using the charging cable and CCID (Charging Circuit Interrupt-
ing Device)
Observe the following precautions.
If you do not follow them, fire, electrical shock or damage may occur, possi-
bly resulting in death or serious injury.
●Do not attempt to disassemble or repair the charging cable, charging con-
nector, plug or CCID (Charging Circuit Interrupting Device).
If a problem arises with the charging cable or the CCID (Charging Circuit
Interrupting Device), stop charging immediately and contact your Toyota
dealer.
●Do not subject the charging cable, charging connector, plug or CCID
(Charging Circuit Interrupting Device) to strong force or impact.
●Do not forcefully fold the charging cable or damage the charging cable
with sharp objects.
●Do not fold the charging connector or plug or insert foreign objects into
them.
●Do hold the body of the charging connector or plug when removing or
inserting.
●Remove the charging connector from the vehicle’s charging inlet FIRST,
before removing the plug from the outlet.
●Avoid exposure of plug to water or moisture.

Power sources that can be used
An external power source that fulfills the following criteria is nec-
essary for charging this vehicle. Confirm this before charging.
■Power sources
●Connect to an AC 120 V outlet (NEMA 5-15R) with a Ground-
Fault Circuit-Interrupter (GFCI) and a circuit breaker. Use of a
15A individual circuit is strongly recommended to ensure
charging cable will operate properly.
●When charging outdoors, make sure to connect to a weather-
proof outlet that is certified for outdoor use.
Checking Ground-Fault Circuit-Interrupter (GFCI) operation
before its use is recommended.
■Outlets that can be connected
NEMA 5-15R outlet
