Step 1 Plug the charging cable into the electrical receptacle of the external
power source.
- Ensure that the standards of the electrical receptacle and the
charging cable’s plug match.
- Check that the power indicator of the CCID (Charging Circuit
Interrupting Device) is illuminated.
- Hanging the CCID on a hook is recommended to reduce the strain
on the electrical receptacle and
charging cable plug.
- When charging outdoors, use a “while-in-use” cover.
Step 2 Press the test button on the CCID to check that the electrical leakage detection function operates properly.
- If the error warning indicator illuminates when test button is
pressed, the function is operating
correctly.
- After the test is completed, press reset button to turn off the error
warning. Charging cannot occur
while error warning is illuminated.
- If the error warning indicator does not come on when test button is
pressed, the function may not be
operating correctly. Stop charging
immediately and contact your
Toyota dealer.
Step 3 Pull up the charging port door lever.
Step 4 Open the charging port cap by releasing the clip.
Step 5 Remove the charging connector cap. Affix the cap to the cable.

Step 6 Insert the charging cable connector into the charging port.
- Do not press the latch release button when inserting the connector.
- Align with the guide position shown on underside of the charging
connector, and push it in straight
and firmly until it clicks. Confirm
connector is securely locked.
- The plug-in indicator on the meter illuminates in green if correctly
plugged in. Incorrect plug-in results
in a yellow plug-in indicator.
- If no schedule is set, or the charge immediately function is selected,
charging will begin by simply
plugging in the charging cable.
- If EV System is on when the vehicle is plugged in, the READY indicator
will turn off and a message will show
in the Multi-Information Display.
Step 7 Check the status of the charging indicator.

The charging indicator consists of two lights that display charging status by
illuminating, flashing and turning off as follows:
The indicator lights will not flash or turn on if the charging cable is not
connected properly. During charging, current charging status and the estimated
time until charge completion can be checked on the Multi-Information Display or
navigation display.

Charging cable-Unplugging
Step 1 Pull the charging connector toward you while pressing the latch release button.
Step 2 Attach the charging connector cap.
ELECTRIC VEHICLE SYSTEM
Firmly push the charging port cap
and charging port door, and check
that they are securely locked.
Step 3 Close the charging port cap, and then close the charging port door.
- Hold the body of the plug while
removing.
- Make sure to put the cable away immediately after disconnecting.
- When leaving the plug inserted, check the plug and connector once a month
for accumulation of dirt or dust.
Step 4 Remove the plug from the electrical receptacle when the charging
equipment will not be used for a long period of time.
Depending on the charge settings, the vehicle may not start charging just by
plugging in the charging cable. Use the navigation screen to set the charging and
Pre-climate/remote climate control schedules. Before either function starts, it is
recommended that:
-Parking brake is securely set with shift position in “P”
-All windows and doors are closed
-Engine hood is securely closed
-All lights are turned off
When the EV System is turned off, the screen changes to the charging and
Pre-climate settings screen. If no operations are performed for approximately 30
seconds, the screen turns off.

Pre-climate (Remote Climate Control)
Adjusting cabin temperature before driving reduces traction battery consumption
after departure, thereby increasing driving range. If the amount of charge
remaining in the traction battery is less than 50% at the time Pre-climate
operation is scheduled to begin, Pre-climate operations will not be performed in
order to preserve driving range.
The climate control system can be turned on before entering the vehicle by
setting the Pre-climate schedule or using the Smartphone Entune
® EV Remote
Climate application on a smartphone.
Pre-climate operations completion can be set for a specific time on each day of
the week.
Charging settings
The RAV4 EV may be charged immediately, or scheduled to charge at a specific
time each day.
Smartphone Entune® EV Applications
Drivers with a smartphone and active Entune® and Safety Connect® subscriptions
may remotely interact with several features of the RAV4 EV.
