let.
Check that the power indicator on
the CCID (Charging Circuit Inter-
rupting Device) is illuminated.
(If it is not illuminated, refer to P. 170)
In order to reduce the load on the
outlet and plug, when inserting the
plug, use a string, etc. to hang the
CCID (Charging Circuit Interrupting
Device) on a hook or equivalent.

■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.
● The current charging condition and the estimated time until charging will
complete can be checked on the multi-information display or 11.6-inch dis-
play (if equipped). ( →P. 130)
● During charging, the hybrid battery (traction battery) status indicator illumi-
nates and flashes, and changes according to the charging amount.
(→P. 104)
■ If the charging indicator flashes after connecting the charging cable
The charge schedule ( →P. 147) is registered and charging cannot be per-
formed immediately. To cancel chargi ng using the timer and start charging
immediately, perform any of the following procedures.
● Turn “Charge Now” on ( →P. 156, 165)
● While the charging indicator is flashing, remove and reconnect the charging
connector within 5 seconds

tor lock switch.
The charging connector is
unlocked by the smart lid & con-
nector locking system.
Carrying an electronic key and moving near the charging inlet will cause

towards you while pressing the
latch release button.
If the charging connector is discon-
nected during charging (while the
charging indicator is on), charging
will be interrupted.

Remove the plug from the out-
let when the charging equip-
ment will not be used for a
prolonged period of time.
Hold the body of the plug when
removing.
Make sure to put the cable away
immediately after disconnecting.
(→P. 145)
When leaving the plug inserted, inspect the plug and connector once a
month to check if dirt or dust has accumulated.
■ Charging time
→P. 125
■ Safety function
If the latch release button is pressed, charging will not begin even if the
charging cable is connected.
Also, charging will be stopped if the latch release button is pressed and held
for several seconds during charging. When restarting charging, reinsert the
charging connector after pulling it out, and check that the charging indicator
illuminates.
■ When the outside temper ature is low or high
The level shown on the remaining charge display ( →P. 216) may drop slightly
when the power switch is turned to ON mode, even if charging has been com-
pleted and the hybrid battery (traction battery) is fully charged. However, this
does not indicate a malfunction.
■ Charging time may increase
→P. 126
■ While charging
When the power switch is turned to ON mode and the energy monitor dis-
plays, the charging connector is displayed on the energy monitor and the flow
of electricity during charging is displayed ( →P. 208). Also, when the charging
connector is locked, is displayed.

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
dealer.

NOTICE
■Using private power generator
Do not use private power generators as a power source for charging.
Doing so may make charging unstable, the voltage may be insufficient, and
the error warning indicator on the CCID (Charging Circuit Interrupting
Device) of the charging cable may flash.
■ Usable temperature range
● Do not charge if the outside temperature is -22 °F (-30 °C) or below, as it is
likely that charging will take longer, and equipment related to charging will
be damaged.
● Do not leave the vehicle or the charging cable in areas where the outside
temperature is lower than -40 °F (-40 °C). The vehicle or charging cable will
probably be damaged.
■ Charging equipment
Due to the environment in which the power equipment is located, charging
may be unstable due to noise, the voltage may be insufficient, and the error
warning indicator on the CCID (Charging Circuit Interrupting Device) of the
charging cable may flash.

■Timer settings
A maximum of 15 charge schedules can be registered.
■ To make sure that the charging timer function operates correctly
Check the following items.
●Adjust the clock to the correct time ( →P. 185)
● Check that the power switch is turned off
● After registering the charge schedule, connect the charging cable
The charging start time is determined based on the charge schedule at the
time that the charging cable was connected.
● After connecting the charging cable, check that the charging indicator
flashes ( →P. 106)
● Do not use an outlet that has a power cut off function (including a timer func-
tion)
Use an outlet that constantly supplies electricity. For outlets where the
power is cut off due to a timer function, etc., charging may not be carried
out according to plan if the power is cut off during the set time.
■ When the charging cable rema ins connected to the vehicle
Even if multiple consecutive charge schedules are registered, the next
charge will not be carried out according to the timer until the charging cable is
removed and reconnected after charging completes. Also, when the hybrid
battery (traction battery) is fully charged, charging according to the timer will
not be carried out.
■ “Climate Prep”
●When the air conditioning-linked setting is turned on, the air conditioning
operates until the set departure time. T herefore, the air conditioning will con-
sume electricity and charging may not complete by the set departure time.
● If the hybrid battery (traction battery) is fully charged, charging will not be
carried out, even if the charge schedule is set. However, if “Climate Prep” is
turned on, the air conditioning will operate only once when it nears the time
set in “Departure”. If this occurs, the air conditioning will consume electricity
and the remaining charge of the hybrid battery (traction battery) when
departing may be decreased.
■ Smartphone-linked op eration (vehicles with 11.6-inch display)
After applying to Entune, it is possible to use the smartphone application to
change charging timer settings.
