How to charge
This vehicle has been designed to allow charging from an external
power source using a charging cable for exclusive use with standard
household AC outlets.
However, the vehicle differs greatly from standard household electri-
cal goods in the following ways, and incorrect usage could cause fire
or electric shock, possibly leading to death or serious injury.
●The charging operation is designed to operate at 12A continuously
for the charge duration (up to 5 hours 10 minutes).
●Charging can be conducted outdoors.
To charge properly, follow the procedure after reading the explanation
below. Charging is intended to be carried out by licensed drivers only
who properly understand the charging procedure.
●Charging should not be carried out by children.
●When charging with a charging equipment, follow the procedures
for using each equipment.
●When charging using a public charging facility, check the setting of
the charging timer function.
• When the charge schedule is registered, temporarily turn off the
function or turn “Charge Now” on.
• When the charge schedule is set to ON, charging will not start
even if the charging cable is connected. Also, charging fee may
occur due to connection of the charging cable.

1. Charging operation
Before charging, always check the following items.
●The parking brake is applied.
●The headlights are switched off or set to AUTO, and lights such as
the emergency flashers and interior lights etc. are switched off.
If these light switches are turned ON, then these features will consume
electricity, and charging time will increase.
●The power switch is off.
The time required to charge the hybrid battery (traction battery) differs
according to the charging voltage and charging current.
*1: This is the maximum value.
*2: The time required for charging to complete depends on conditions such as
the remaining charge of the hybrid battery (traction battery) and the outside
temperature.
Confirm the following before charging

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

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.

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.
