Safety functions
The CCID (Charging Circuit Interrupting Device) has the following
safety features.
■Electrical leakage detection function
If an electrical leakage is detected during charging, the power
source will be automatically interrupted, thus preventing fires or
electrical shocks caused by electrical leakage.
If the power source is interrupted, the error warning indicator will illumi-
nate.
If the power source is interrupted: →P. 1 0 6
■Electrical leakage test function
The electrical leakage detection function can be tested prior to
charging to confirm that it is operating correctly.
When the test button is pressed while the plug is connected to an exter-
nal power source, the error warning indicator should illuminate.
(→P. 1 0 7 )
■Conditions for supplying current to the vehicle
The CCID (Charging Circuit Interrupting Device) is designed to
prevent electrical current from being supplied to the charging con-
nector when it is not connected to the vehicle, even if the plug is
inserted into the outlet.
■Charging cable
The charging cable may become hard in low temperatures.

■The charging environment
For safe charging, the following charging equipment and settings are recom-
mended.
●Weatherproof outlet
When charging outdoors, connect the plug to a weatherproof outlet, and
ensure that the plug remains waterproof while the plug is connected.
●Dedicated circuit
• To reduce the risk of fire, connect only to an at least 15A branch circuit
with an over-current protection in accordance with the National Electric
Code, ANSI/NFPA 70.
•To reduce the risk of electric shock when working with the plug, con-
nect to a outlet with a Ground-Fault Circuit-Interrupter (GFCI) or that
has an Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker installed.
CAUTION
■Warnings for electrical faults
Make sure to observe the following precautions when charging the vehicle.
Failure to use a power source that fulfills the requirements, or failure to
observe regulations while charging could lead to an accident, possibly
resulting in death or serious injury.

PRIUS PHV_OM_OM47856U_(U)
Press the test button on the
CCID (Charging Circuit Inter-
rupting Device) to check that
the electrical leakage detec-
tion function operates prop-
erly.
If the error warning indicator
illuminates when the test but-
ton is pressed, the function is
operating correctly.
After the test has been com-
pleted, press the reset button
to turn off the error warning
indicator. Charging cannot be
carried out while the error
warning indicator is illumi-
nated.
If the error warning indicator
does not come on even if the
test button is pressed, it is
likely that the function is not
operating correctly. Stop
charging immediately and con-
tact your Toyota dealer.

Confirm that the charging indi-
cator is illuminated. (When the
charging timer function is in
use, the light will turn off sev-
eral seconds after illuminat-
ing.)
Charging will not start if the
charging indicator does not illu-
minate when the charging con-
nector is inserted. (→P. 1 0 3 )
The amount of time until charg-
ing is completed can be
checked on the energy monitor
by turning the “POWER” switch
to ON mode. (→P. 9 3 )
The error warning indicator of
the CCID (Charging Circuit
Interrupting Device) has illumi-
nated during charging:
→P. 1 0 6
The charging indicator will turn
off when charging is com-
pleted.

■Charging messages
The first time the “POWER”
switch is turned to ON mode
after charging is completed, a
message detailing the results of
the charging will be displayed.
Also, if an operation which can-
not be carried out is attempted
during charging, a warning mes-
sage will be displayed.
(→P. 5 6 5 )
Comply with the instructions in
the message and carry out any
necessary operations.
The message may not be dis-
played if the Remote Air Condi-
tioning System (→P. 3 7 3 ) h a s
been used.
■Amount of time until charging is complete
Charging fully from when an estimated EV driving range is not displayed
(0 mile [0 km]) on the multi-information display (→P. 5 8 ) w i l l t a k e a p p r o x i -
mately 2.5 hours (AC120 V).
The amount of time until charging is complete will change in accordance with
the amount of charge remaining in the hybrid battery (traction battery), the
outside temperature, etc.
■During charging
●The surface of the CCID (Charging Circuit Interrupting Device) may
become hot, but this does not indicate a malfunction.
●Depending on radio wave conditions, interference may be heard on the
radio.

CAUTION
■Battery charger
The battery charger is located under the luggage compartment. Observe the
following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause death or serious injury from burns or electric
shocks.
●Do not touch the battery charger during charging, as it becomes hot.
●Do not disassemble, repair or modify the battery charger.
If repair is necessary, consult your Toyota dealer.
■If the error warning indicator on the CCID (Charging Circuit Interrupt-
ing Device) stays on during charging
Press the reset button on the CCID (Charging Circuit Interrupting Device)
(→P. 1 0 6 ) . I f t h e e r r o r w a r n i n g i n d i c a t o r d o e s n o t t u r n o f f e v e n w h e n t h e
reset button is pressed, an electrical leakage may be occurring in the path to
the power source, or there may be a problem with the charging cable or the
charging system. In this event, stop charging immediately, remove the
charging cable and contact your Toyota dealer. An accident may occur or
damage may be inflicted if charging continues.
■When the charging cable is connected to the vehicle
Do not operate the shift lever.
In the unlikely event that the charging cable has been damaged, the shift
position may change from P to another position and the vehicle could move,
possibly leading to an accident.

SituationReasonCorrection procedure
The error warning indi-
cator on the CCID
(Charging Circuit Inter-
rupting Device) comes
on
•The electrical leakage
detection function or
the self-test function
has operated and the
power supply has been
interrupted.
•The test button has
been pressed.
Reset the CCID (Charg-
ing Circuit Interrupting
Device). (→P. 1 0 6 )
The charging indicator
does not illuminate
even though the charg-
ing connector is con-
nected
The latch release but-
ton is being pressed.
For safety purposes,
charging will be inter-
rupted when the latch
release button is
pressed. (→P. 9 5 )
When connecting the
charging connector to
the vehicle, insert it into
the charging inlet with-
out pressing the latch
release button.
The charging connec-
tor is not properly con-
nected to the charging
inlet.
Check that the charg-
ing connector is firmly
connected to the
charging inlet.
If the charging indicator
does not illuminate
even though the charg-
ing connector is firmly
connected, there may
be a problem in the
system. Stop charging
immediately and con-
sult your Toyota dealer.
The hybrid battery
(traction battery) is
already fully charged.
