1-2. Charging
PRIUS PHV_OM_OM47856U_(U)
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)
■ Items to be regularly inspected

operation. Take appropriate measures in response to any warning message
shown on the multi-information display. ( P. 559)
