■Safety functions
The CCID (Charging Circuit Interrupting Device) has the following
safety features.
● Electrical leakage detection function
If an electrical leakage is detected during charging, the power
source will be automatically interrupted, thus preventing fires or
electrical shocks caused by electrical leakage.
● Automatic check function
This is an automatic system che ck that is run before charging
begins to check for problems in the operation of the electrical
leakage detection function.
● Temperature detection function
A temperature detection function is equipped to the plug. While
charging, if heat is generated due to looseness on the outlet side
etc., this function suppresses h eat by controlling the charging
current.
● Conditions for supplying current to the vehicle
The CCID (Charging Circuit Interrupting Device) is designed to
prevent electrical current from being supplied to the charging
connector when it is not connected to the vehicle, even if the plug
is inserted into the outlet.
■ Safety functions
●The hybrid system will not start while the AC charging cable is attached to
the vehicle, even if the power switch is operated.
● If the AC charging cable is connected while the “READY” indicat or is illumi-
nated, the hybrid system will stop automatically and driving wi ll not be possi-
ble.

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 l ocal 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 AC charging inl et
directly.
Do not connect a converting adaptor or extension cord between t he
charging connector and AC charging inlet.
● Do not connect the AC charging cable
to a multi-outlet adaptor, multi-plugs, or
conversion plug.
● Connecting the AC 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).
The leakage detection function of the
CCID (Charging Circuit Interrupting
Device) may not operate correctly.
● Do not connect to a power strip.

How to charge
This vehicle has been designed to allow charging from an external
power source using a AC charging cable for exclusive use with s tan-
dard household AC outlets.
However, the vehicle differs greatly from standard household el ectri-
cal goods in the following ways, and incorrect usage could caus e fire
or electric shock, pos sibly leading to death or serious injury.
● The charging operation is designed to operate at 12A continuous ly
for the charge duration (up to 12 hours).
● Charging can be conducted outdoors.
To charge properly, follow the procedure after reading the expl anation
below. Charging is intended to be carried out by licensed drive rs only
who properly understand the charging procedure.
● Do not allow children to use the AC charging cable without supe rvi-
sion. Also, keep the AC charging cable out o f reach of infants.
● When charging with a charger, follow the procedures for using e ach
charger.
● When charging using a public cha rging facility, check the setting of
the charging schedule function. • When the charging schedule is registered, temporarily turn off the function or turn “Charge Now” on.
• When the charging schedule is set to on, charging will not sta rt
even if the AC charging cable is connected. Also, charging fee
may occur due to connection of the AC charging cable.

Charging operation
Before charging, always check the following items.
● The parking brake is applied.
● Lights such as the headlights, emergency flashers and interior
lights etc. are turned off.
If these light switches are turned on, then these features will consume
electricity, and charging time will increase.
● The power switch is turned to OFF.
The time required to charge the hybrid battery (traction battery) differs
according to the charging vol tage and charging current.
*1: If equipped
*2: This is the maximum value.
*3: The time required to complete charging depends on conditions such as the
remaining charge of the hybrid battery (traction battery), the outside tem-
perature and specifications of a charger (charging station).
*4: When using “My Room Mode”, the time required for charging to c omplete
may be longer or the charging may not be completed.

2. Charging operation
Prepare the AC charging cable.
Insert the AC charging cable
into the outlet of the external
power source.
Make sure to hold the body of the
plug and insert it firmly into the out-
let.
Check that the power indicator on
the CCID (Charging Circuit Inter-
rupting Device) is illuminated.
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.
Unlock the doors and open the
charging port lid.
The AC charging inlet light ()
will illuminate.
Remove the AC charging inlet
cap and secure it into the
holder on the charging port lid.
