How to charge
This vehicle has been designed to allow charging from an external
power source using a charging cable for exclusive use with standard
household AC outlets.
However, the vehicle differs greatly from standard household electri-
cal goods in the following ways, and incorrect usage could cause
fire or electric shock, possibly leading to death or serious injury.
● The charging operation is designe d to operate at 12A continu-
ously for the charge duration (up to 3 hours).
● Charging can be conducted outdoors.
To charge properly, follow the pr ocedure after reading the explana-
tion below. Charging is intended to be carried out by licensed driv-
ers only who properly understand the charging procedure. Charging
should not be carried out by children.
When charging with a charging station, follow the procedures for
using the charging station.
■ Confirm the following before charging
●The parking brake is applied. ( P. 257)
● Lights such as the headlights, emergency flashers and interior
lights etc. are switched off.
If these light switches are turned ON, then these features will con-
sume electricity, and charging time will increase.
●The “POWER” switch is OFF. ( P. 242)

■Daytime running light system
●For the U.S.A.: To make your vehicle more visible to other drivers, the
daytime running lights turn on automatically whenever the hybrid system
is started and the parking brake is released.
Daytime running lights can be turned off by operating the switch. (if
equipped)
For Canada: To make your vehicle more visible to other drivers, the day-
time running lights turn on automatically (at a reduced intensity) whenever
the hybrid system is started and the parking brake is released. Daytime
running lights are not designed for use at night.
● For Canada: Compared to turning on the headlights, the daytime running
light system offers greater durability and consumes less electricity, so it
can help improve fuel economy.
