Precautions during Charg- ing the Main Drive Lithium-ion Battery
WA R N I N G Improper charging can result in a fire, property damage, and serious injury ordeath. Read the instructions described below carefully and follow
them. Also read and
follow the instructions for “Regular charging (charging me
thod with rated AC
120V outlet)” on page 3-15, Regularcharging (using 240V
Electric Vehicle
Supply Equipment)
on page 3-24 and
“Quick charging (c
harging method with
quick charger)”
on page 3-24 before using
the charging device.• Never connect or disconnect the chargeconnector or plug with wet hands.• Make sure there is no water or foreignmaterials in the char
ge port, charge con-
nector or plug, and that they are notdamaged or affected by rust or corro- sion. If any of these conditions are notice- able, do not charge
the main drive
lithium-ion battery.• Never touch the metal contacts of thecharge port, charge
connector or plug.
• Never charge the main drive lithium-ion battery or touch the vehicle when there islightning. A lightning strike may backfeed into the char
ger causing damage
and possible personal
injury or death.
• Never disassemble or modify the charge port or charging cable.• If you notice unus
ual odor or smoke
coming from the vehi
cle, charging cable
or plug, or if the ch
arging cable or plug
becomes hot to the touch, stop charging immediately.
 Individuals using an
electro-medical
apparatus such as implantable pacemak- ers and implantable
cardiovascular-defi-
brillators should
check with the
manufacturer of the apparatus to confirm the effect of the el
ectromagnetic waves
from charging. The el
ectromagnetic waves
may affect the operations of the electro- medical apparatus. If you have an impl
antable cardiac pace-
maker or an implan
table cardiovascular
defibrillator, while the main drive lithium- ion battery is charging:• Keep away from the charge connector orcontrol box.• Do not stay inside the vehicle.• Do not go inside the
vehicle, for example
to remove or place an item in the passen- ger compartment.WA R N I N G
• Do not open the rear hatch, for example to remove or place an item in the cargoarea.Charging may affect
the operation of
electric medical devices and result in serious personal
injury or death.
Keep away from the cooling fan under the hood during charging. During charging,the cooling fan may automatically be operated even if the electric motor switch is in the “LOCK” position. CAUTION To prevent damage to the charging equip- ment:• Do not close the charge port lid withoutclosing the cap.• Do not subject the charging equipment toimpact.• Do not pull or twist the charge cable.• Do not drag the charge cable.• Do not store charging equipment in loca-tions where the temperature is above 185 °F (85 °C) or below -40 °F (-40 °C).• Do not place the charging equipment close to a heater or other heat source.
 Make sure the inner
cap is closed on the
charge port when charging is finished. If the charge port lid is closed when the cap is opened, water or forei
gn materials may enter
the charge port.WA R N I N G

If the charge port becomes frozen, use a hair dryer to defrost and dry the port beforecharging. Forcing the charging connector toconnect with the port while it is frozen can damage the port and/or prevent charging.WA R N I N G Make sure that the plug is inserted all the way into the outlet before use.NOTE
 To reduce the risk of electric shock or fire due to electric le
ak, always use an
grounded outlet protected by a ground-fault circuit interr
upter, rated AC 120V
and rated for 15A or more, and that is connected to a dedicated branch circuit.If the circuit is shar
ed, and another elec-
trical device is being used at the same time the vehicle is chargi
ng, the circuit may
heat abnormally, the breaker may trip and the circuit may cause adverse inter- ference on the household electrical appli-ances such as tele
visions and audio
systems. To reduce the risk of electric shock, con- nect only to a prop
erly grounded and
waterproofed outlet. Always use an AC 120V
outlet rated for
15A or more.WA R N I N G
