WARNING
■Power sources precautions
Observe the following precautions.
If you do not follow them, fire, electrical shock or damage may occur, possi-
bly resulting in death or serious injury.
● Connect to an AC 120 V outlet (NEMA 5-15R) with a Ground-Fault Circuit-
Interrupter (GFCI) and supplied by a circuit breaker per your local code.
Use of a 15A individual circuit is strongly recommended.
● Use of a block heater for charging is prohibited.
● Make sure to connect the charging connector and charging inlet directly.
Do not connect a converting adaptor or extension cord between the
charging connector and charging inlet.
●Do not connect the charging cable to a
multi-outlet adapter, multi-plugs, or con-
version plug.
● Connecting the charging cable to an
extension cord is strictly prohibited. The
extension cord may overheat and does
not contain a Ground-Fault Circuit-Inter-
rupter (GFCI).
● Do not connect to a power strip.

Charging operation
Remove the protective cap of
the charging connector and
secure it to the cable.
Insert the charging connector
into the charging inlet.
Align the guide position on the bot-
tom of the charging connector, and
push the charging connector
straight into the charging inlet as
far as possible.
Once a “click” sound is heard,
check that the charging connector
is securely locked.
Confirm that the charging indi-
cator is illuminated.
Charging will not start if the
charging indicator does not illumi-
nate when the charging connector
is inserted.
If the charging indicator is flashing,
the charge schedule is registered.
If the error warning indicator on the CCID (Charging Circuit Interrupting
Device) flashes during charging, refer to “OWNER’S MANUAL” and follow
the correction procedure.

1. Charging operation
Vehicles with smart lid & con-
nector locking system:
When you wish to lock the
charging connector, carry an
electronic key and press the
charging connector lock switch.
The charging connector will be
locked by the smart lid & connector
locking system. After the charging
connector is locked, even if some-
one not carrying an electronic key
presses the charging connector
lock switch, they cannot unlock the
charging connector.
The charging indicator will turn off when charging is completed.
■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).
● During charging, the hybrid battery (traction battery) status indicator illumi-
nates and flashes, and changes according to the charging amount.

Charging operation
Vehicles with smart lid & con-
nector locking system:
When the charging connector is
locked, carry an electronic key
and press the charging connec-
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
the charging inlet illumination to illuminate.
Pull the charging connector
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.
Attach the charging connector cap.
Attach the charging inlet cap and close the charging port lid.
Remove the plug from the outlet when the charging equipment 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.
When leaving the plug inserted, inspect the plug and connector once a
month to check if dirt or dust has accumulated.
■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.

WARNING
■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
■When use the charging cable and related parts
To prevent damage to the charging cable and related parts, observe the fol-
lowing precautions.
● When interrupting or canceling charging, remove the charging connector
before removing the plug.
● Vehicles with smart lid & connector locking system: When removing the
charging cable, check that the charging connector is unlocked.
● Do not forcefully pull the connector cap and charging inlet cap.
● Do not apply a vibration to the charging connector while charging.
Charging may be stopped.
● Do not insert anything but the charging connector.
● When inserting the plug into or removing the plug from the outlet, make
sure to hold the body of the plug.
● Do not damage the charging inlet cap with a sharp object.
● Do not forcefully pull the charging cable that is caught or entangled.
If the cable is entangled, disentangle it before using.
● When charging from the external device, use the charging cable equipped
with the vehicle.
■ When charging
Do not insert the plug into the charging inlet.
The charging inlet may be damaged.

NOTICE
■After charging
● After disconnecting the charging connector from the charging inlet, make
sure to put on the charging inlet cap and close the charging port lid.
If the charging inlet cap is not put on, water or foreign objects may enter
the charging inlet, which could lead to vehicle damage.
• Vehicles without smart lid & connector locking system: The charging
port lid does not have a lock. Take care not to press and open the door
accidentally.
• Vehicles with smart lid & connector locking system: If the charging port lid is not locked, take care as it may open if unintentionally touched.
● After removing the plug from the outlet, keep it in a safe place free from
moisture and dust.
The charging cable or plug may be damaged if the cable is stepped on or
ridden over by the vehicle.
■ 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.
