46 1-1. Plug-in hybrid system
PRIUS PHV_OM_OM47A11U_(U)
Hybrid warning messageA message is automatically displayed when a malfunction occurs in
the hybrid system or an impr oper operation is attempted.
If a warning message is shown
on the multi-information display,
read the message and follow the
instructions. ( P. 550)
■If a warning light comes on, a warn ing message is displayed or the 12-
volt battery is disconnected
The hybrid system may not start. In that case, try to start the system again. If
the “READY” indicator does not come on, contact your Toyota dealer.
■ Running out of fuel
When the vehicle has run out of fuel and the hybrid system cannot be
started, refuel the vehicle with at least enough gasoline to make the low fuel
level warning light ( P. 541) go off. If there is only a small amount of fuel,
the hybrid system may not be able to start. (The minimum amount of fuel to
add to make the low fuel level warning light go out is about 1.9 gal. [7.1 L,
1.6 Imp.gal.], when the vehicle is on a level surface. This value may vary
when the vehicle is on a slope.)

PRIUS PHV_OM_OM47A11U_(U)
Safety functionsThe CCID (Charging Circuit Interrupting Device) has the following
safety features.
■ Electrical leakage detection function
If an electrical leakage is de tected during charging, the power
source will be automatically interr upted, 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. 107
■ 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. 108)
■ 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 Ci rcuit-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.
