WARNING
■If the error warning indicator on the CCID (Charging Circuit Interrupt-
ing Device) illuminates or flashes during charging
There may be an electrical leakage in the power source path, or there may
be a malfunction in the charging cable or CCID (Charging Circuit Interr\
upt-
ing Device). Refer to P. 110 and follow the correction procedure. If the error
warning indicator does not turn off even after performing the correction pro-
cedure, immediately stop charging, remove the charging cable and contact
your Toyota dealer. Continuing to charge the vehicle in that condition may
lead to unforeseen accidents or serious injury.
■ After charging
Remove the plug if it will not be used for a long time.
Dirt and dust may accumulate plug or outlet, which could cause a malfunc-
tion or fire, possibly leading to death or serious injury.
■ Charging equipment
There is charging equipment under the rear seats. Make sure to observe
the following precautions regarding the charging equipment. Failure to
observe these precautions may result in death or serious injury such as
burns and electric shocks.
● The charging equipment is hot during charging. Do not touch the charging
equipment, as doing so may result in burns.
● Do not disassemble, repair or modify the charging equipment.
When the charging equipment needs to be repaired, consult your Toyota
