Safety functionsThe CCID (Charging Circuit Interrupting Device) has the following
safety features.
■ Electrical leakage detection function
If an electrical leakage is de tected during charging, the power
source will be automatically interr upted, 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. 9 1
■ 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. 59)
■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 an electrical receptacle.
■ Charging method
●The charging cable included with the vehicle is designed to be connected
only to an AC 120 V power source.
● Toyota strongly recommends that the vehicle be charged using a 240 V
charging station that is compliant with SAE J1772. This offers a faster
charge time than 120 V (level 1) charging. If you would like more informa-
tion on obtaining 240 V (level 2) charging in your home, please consult the
Toyota dealer from whom you purchased your RAV4 EV, any other dealer-
ship authorized to sell the RAV4 EV or visit http://toyota.leviton.com/.
For
more information regarding public charging stations, please refer to the
“Navigation System Owner's Manual ” regarding Charging Station POI or
Apps.

Press the test button on the
CCID (Charging Circuit Interrupt-
ing Device) to check that the
electrical leakage detection func-
tion operates properly.
If the error warning indicator illu-
minates when the test button is
pressed, the function is operating
correctly.
After the test has been com-
pleted, press the reset button to
turn off the error warning indica-
tor. Charging cannot be carried
out while the error warning indica-
tor is illuminated.
If the error warning indicator does
not come on even if the test but-
ton is pressed, it is likely that the
function is not operating correctly.
Stop charging immediately and
contact your Toyota dealer.
Pull up the charging port door
lever.

Before driving
Check the status of the charging indicator.
The charging indicator consists of
2 lights that display charging status
by illuminating, flashing a nd turning off as follows.
The indicator lights will not flash or turn on when the charging cable is
not connected properly.
During charging, current charging status and the estimated time until
charging will be completed can be confirmed on the multi-information dis-
play or navigation display. ( P. 74)

Device) has illuminated during charging: P. 8 8

■Charging information and warning messages
The first time the “POWER”
switch is turned to ON mode
after charging is completed, a
message detailing the results of
the charge is shown. Also, if an
operation that cannot be carried
out during charging was
attempted, a warning message
will be shown.
Comply with the instructions in
the message and perform any
necessary operations. (P. 443)
Confirming current charge settings
The amount of charge remaining in the traction battery and charging/
pre-climate schedule sett ings can be confirmed.
Touch “EV”.
Touch “Charge Summary”.

Before driving
■
When not using the vehicle for an extended period of time
In order to preserve the traction battery, Toyota recommends plugging in the
vehicle whenever it is not in use.
Pre-climate operations will occur while the amount of charge remaining in
the traction battery is more than 50% at the time pre-climate operations
begin. If the schedule is left set, pre-climate operations will continue to func-
tion up to the maximum of 15 minutes even if the vehicle is not used for
extended periods of time. Because this uses energy from the traction bat-
tery, temporarily suspend the pre-climate schedule (smart phone exclusive
setting P. 58) or delete the pre-climate schedule, if the vehicle is not being
regularly used.
When using navigation screen operations, only canceling the schedule is
available. Because the schedule will need to be set once again when it is
used next time, Toyota recommends using a smart phone and temporarily
suspending the schedule.
■ If the amount of charge remaining in the traction battery becomes low
while driving
The driving power restriction output control warning light illuminates and
driving range is extended by automatically restricting driving power and air
conditioning system operations. Using the navigation system, promptly
search for the closest charging station and charge the vehicle. If the traction
battery fully discharges, driving will not be possible.
For information on how to search for a charging station, refer to the “Naviga-
tion System Owner's Manual”.
■ Charging schedule confirmation disp lay after switching the EV system
off
The current charging schedule will be displayed for a while after the EV sys-
tem is turned off. To change the charging schedule, set the schedule using
the navigation system’s screen. ( P. 64, 70)
■ If the charging port door is frozen

CAUTION
■Precautions for the pre-climate
Do not use pre-climate if people are in the vehicle.
Even when pre-climate is used, the temperature inside the vehicle may
become very high or very low due to features such as the automatic shut-off.
Do not leave children and/or pets inside the vehicle.
●When in the sun, the temperature inside a vehicle with all its windows
closed may rise rapidly, possibly causing heat stroke or dehydration.
● When in cold weather, the temperature inside the vehicle may drop rapidly,
possibly causing hypothermia.
Both of the above cases can lead to a serious health hazard or even deat\
h.
■ Handling the traction battery
No part of the traction battery can be repaired by you or a non-Toyota techni-
cian. Never open the traction battery or perform any modifications to it. If you
find a malfunction with the battery, always contact 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. 91). 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.
