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

turned to ON mode after charging is completed, a message detailing the results
of the charge is shown. Also, if an operation that cannot be carried out during
charging was attempted, a warning message will be shown. Remaining charging time Charging information is displayed on the
Multi-Information Display.
If the POWER switch is turned to ON mode during charging, the current charging
status and the amount of time needed until charging is complete will be displayed
on the energy monitor.

If the Tire Pressure Warning indicator “” illuminates without blinking, adjust
tire pressures to factory-specified levels.* The light will turn off after a few
minutes. The warning light is designed to turn on when tire pressure is critically
low, but it may also come on due to temperature changes or changes in tire
pressure from natural air leakage.
If the tire pressure indicator flashes for more than 60 seconds and then remains
on, take the vehicle to your local Toyota dealer.
Refer to the Owner’s Manual for more details.
* Refer to load label on door jamb or the Owner’s Manual for tire inflation specifications.
