ELECTRIC VEHICLE SYSTEM
The Prius Plug-in Hybrid system has features of both electric and hybrid vehicles.
Electricity received by charging from an external power source can be used to
supplement hybrid energy, and the vehicle can also be driven as an electric
vehicle using only the electric motor. The EV driving range can be extended by
using regenerative braking to store electricity in the traction battery.

Charging
Step 1 Plug the charge cable into the outlet of the external power source.
NOTE: Hanging the CCID on a hook is recommended to reduce the strain on the
outlet and charge cable plug.
- Make sure to hold the body of the plug and insert it firmly into the outlet.
- Check that the power indicator of the CCID (Charging Circuit Interrupting Device) is
illuminated.
- The surface of the CCID may become hot, but this does not indicate a malfunction.
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.
The Prius Plug-in may be charged immediately, or scheduled to charge at a
specific time. Before charging, it is recommended that:
-Parking brake is securely set
-All lights are turned off
-The POWER switch is OFF

connector, and push it in until it
clicks.
Step 6 Confirm that the charging indicator is illuminated. (When the charge timer function is in use, the light will turn off several seconds after illuminating.)
- Charging will not start if the charging indicator does not illuminate when
the charging connector is inserted.
- The amount of time until charging is completed can be checked on
the energy monitor by turning the
POWER switch to ON mode.
- The charging indicator will turn off when charging is completed.
