■Confirm the following before charging
●The parking brake is applied.
●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 consume
electricity, and charging time will increase.
●The “POWER” switch is OFF.
■How to charge
Prepare the charging cable.
Insert the charging cable into the
outlet of the external power
source.
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 Inter-
rupting Device) is illuminated.
In order to lessen the load on the
outlet and plug, hang the CCID
(Charging Circuit Interrupting
Device) on a hook etc. while the
plug is inserted.

Press the test button on the
CCID (Charging Circuit Interrupt-
ing Device) to check that the
electrical leakage detection func-
tion operates properly.
If the error warning indicator illu-
minates when the test button is
pressed, the function is operating
correctly.
After the test has been com-
pleted, press the reset button to
turn off the error warning indica-
tor. Charging cannot be carried
out while the error warning indica-
tor is illuminated.
If the error warning indicator does
not come on even if the test but-
ton is pressed, it is likely that the
function is not operating correctly.
Stop charging immediately and
contact your Toyota dealer.
