While charging, even if the electric motor switch is in the “LOCK” position, you mayhear operating sounds such as sounds from the cooling fan and air conditioning compres- sor when operating the main drive lithium-ionbattery cooling system
or Remote Climate
Control. This is normal. Refer to “Remote Climate Control” on page 3-36, 3-47.

Operating sound under charg- ing or Remote Climate Control
For persons with electro-medi-cal apparatus such as implant-able cardiac pacemaker or implantable cardiovascular defibrillator
WA R N I N G Before charging, read the instructions described below carefully and follow them. Also read and follow the instruc-tions for “Regular charging (charging method with rated AC 120 V outlet)” on page 3-16, “Regular
charging (using 240 V
Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment)” on page 3-26, and “Quick
charging (charging
method with quick
charger)” on page
3-27. Before charging, indivi
duals using an elec-
tro-medical apparatu
s such as implant-
able pacemakers and implantable cardiovascular-defibril
lators should check
with the manufacturer of the apparatus to confirm the effect of the electromagnetic waves from charging
. The electromagnetic
waves may affect the operations of the electro-medical apparatus.
 When performing re
gular charging, keep
your electro-medical apparatus, such asimplantable cardiac pacemaker orimplantable cardiovas
cular defibrillator,
away from the charge connector, EV charging cable, control box or regularcharging station. Do not perform quick charging and keep away from a quick ch
arger. Electromag-
netic waves produced
by a quick charger
may affect the operation of your electric-medical apparatus. If you have acciden- tally approached a qu
ick charger, walk
away from the quick
charger immediately.
If quick charging is necessary, ask some- one for help. While charging;• Do not stay inside the vehicle.• Do not go inside the vehicle, for example to remove or place an item in the passen-ger compartment.• Do not open the liftgate, for example toremove or place an item in the cargo area.

 When the vehicle is driven in a high ambi
ent temperature, its air-conditioner performan
ce can be insufficient. Also, using the
air conditioner
will reduce the vehicle’s cruising range.  When the ambient temperature is approximately 104 °F (40 °C) or
higher, the phenomena described be
low may occur. Please take th
e
described actions. Even if the ambient temperature is approx
imately 104 °F (40 °C) or lower, when perfo
rming quick charging,
driving at high-speed
and uphill
repeatedly, the phenomena described below may
occur. Please take the described actions.
CAUTIONPlease consult a certif

cerning any such accessory fitment or modi- fication. If the wires interfere
with the vehicle body or
improper installation me
thods are used (pro-
tective fuses not included, etc.), electronic devices may be adversel
y affected, resulting

Charging time will vary depending on battery
condition, air temperature and condition of
power source (such
as specification of
the quick char-
ger).A vehicle equipped with a quick charge port
is compatible with most CHAdeMO connecto
rs on charging stations. Charging stations
using the
CHAdeMO standard are UL certifie
d and safe to use in the US.

commended unless quick charging is
necessary.

10. Make sure that th
e charging indicator on
the instrument cluster is illuminated. If the charging indicator is not illumi- nated, charging will not start. Make sure that the regular charge port, the plug and the connector are correctly con-nected, and perform charging from Step 5 again.
11. Charging is complete when the charging
indicator turns off. Pull out the regular charge connector while pressing the but- ton (M).
CAUTION Do not clasp the top of regular charge con- nector. It could cause injury to from the pro-trusion on the lid.NOTE
 If the electric motor switch is turned to the “START” position with
the regular charge
connector connected to the regular charge port, the electric motor unit cannot be started.
K
 Do not connect or
disconnect the regular
charge connector repeat
edly in a short time
period. You may experien
ce difficulty charg-
ing your vehicle.NOTE
 When the regular charge connector is con- nected to the regular charge port, the charg- ing indicator is blinking. When charging is started, the charging i
ndicator is illuminated.
NOTE
The charge level for main drive lithium-ion battery can be checked
with the energy level
gauge (L) on the instrument cluster.Refer to “Energy level gauge” on page 5-41.  You may hear operating sounds from the main drive lithium-i
on battery cooling sys-
tem, such as sounds from the cooling fan and air conditioning compressor, during regular charging. This is normal.NOTE

You cannot charge the main drive lithium-ion battery when the main drive lithium-ion bat-tery temperature is -13 °F (-25 °C) or lower. The air conditioning wi
ll automatically oper-
ate and the main drive lithium-ion batterywill be heated when all the following condi- tions are met.
The energy level gauge (A) in the instrument cluster and charging i
ndicator (B) illuminate
while the main drive lithium-ion batterywarming system is operating. The main drive lithium-ion battery warming system will automatically stop when the maindrive lithium-ion battery temperature is -4°F (-20°C) or higher.
WA R N I N G After charging, discon
nect the charge con-
nector completely from the regular chargeport. If the charge connector remains par-tially engaged with th
e latch unlocked, the
electric motor switch can be turned to the “START” position an
d the vehicle can be
moved.NOTE
 Charging can be stopped
half way. In this
case, pull out the regular charge connector while pressing the button.WA R N I N G After charging, be sure to close the inner lid and the regular charging lid com- pletely.Be careful that water or dust does not enter in the regular charge port inner lid and regular charge connector.Entry of water or dust could cause electric leakage, resulting in a fire or electric shock.
NOTE
 Make sure that the inner lid is completely closed before closi
ng the regular charging
lid.If the regular charging lid is forcibly closed without complete
ly closing the inner lid, the
hinge on the inner lid may be broken.

1. Fully apply the parking brake and move the selector lever to the “P” (PARK) posi- tion.2. Stop the electric devices such as lamps, air conditioning, etc.
and turn the electric
motor switch to the “LOCK” position.3. Pull the quick charging lid opener (A) at the bottom left of the driver’s seat to open the quick charging lid (B) at the left rearside of the vehicle.
4. Remove key and lock the vehicle. 5. Press the tab (C) to open the inner lid (D).
NOTE
 Repeatedly performi
ng only quick charging
can reduce the battery capacity. Regularcharging is recommended unless quickcharging is necessary.  Before using a publicly available quick char- ger, confirm that the charger is suitable for your vehicle.  Make sure to lock the doors to prevent theft, etc. during charging.  Do not turn the electric motor switch to the “ON” position during
quick charging; doing
so will stop quick charging.  When using a quick charger, make sure that the time available is
enough so that the quick
charging can be finished in the time avail- able. If the power supply of the quick charger isshut off during quick ch
arging, it could lead
to a vehicle failure.

WA R N I N G Do not touch the metal terminal of the quick charge port (E) and the quickcharge connector.Doing so could cause an electric shock and/or malfunction.CAUTION Be sure to insert the quick charge connector straight into the quick charge port all the wayto the base. Failure to do so may result in the main drive lithium-ion battery not charging or causedamage to the charging equipment. Do not leave the inner lid open for any sig- nificant period of ti
me without the charge
connector inserted.
Foreign material, if
allowed to enter the quick charge port, candamage the quick charge port and/or prevent charging.NOTE
 There is a hole on the quick charge port for water drainage. If this
hole is blocked and
water gets trapped in the quick charge port,do not charge. Contac
