Inspecting and maintaining the AC
charging cable
For safety, inspect the AC charging cable on a routine basis.
WARNING
■ Routine inspection
Check the following points regularly.
Failure to do so may cause an unexpected accident, resulting in death or
serious injury.
● The AC charging cable, plug, charging connector, CCID (Charging Circuit
Interrupting Device) etc. have not been damaged.
● The outlet has not been damaged.
● The plug can be securely inserted into the outlet.
● The plug does not get extremely hot during use.
● The tip of the plug has not been deformed.
● The plug is not dirtied by dust etc.
Remove the plug from the outlet before inspecting it. If any ab normalities
are found in the AC charging cable as a result of the inspection, immedi-
ately stop use and consult your Toyota dealer.
■ Maintaining the AC charging cable
When the AC charging cable is dirty, first remove the dirt with a hard,
wringed cloth, and then wipe the cable with a dry cloth.
However, never wash it with water. If the AC charging cable is washed with
water, fire or electric shock may occur during charging, possib ly resulting in
death or serious injury.
■ When not using the AC charging cable for a long time
Remove the plug from the outlet. Dust could accumulate on the plug or in
the outlet, possibly causing overheating which could lead to a fire.
Also, keep the cable in a place free from moisture.

3. Things you must know
Things you must know
■Regenerative braking
In the following situations, kinetic energy is converted to electric energy and
deceleration force can be obtained in conjunction with the rech arging of the
hybrid battery (traction battery).
● The accelerator pedal is released while driving with the shift lever in D or S.
● The brake pedal is depressed while driving with the shift lever in D or S.
■ Gasoline engine operation in EV mode or AUTO EV/HV mode
Even if there is a sufficient amount of electricity remaining in the hybrid bat-
tery (traction battery) and EV driving range is being displayed on the multi-
information display, EV driving (driving using only the electri c motor) may be
canceled and both gasoline engine and electric motor are used depending on
the situation (EV driving will be returned to automatically aft er EV driving
becomes possible again).
EV driving may be canceled automatically in the following circu mstances
*1:
● When vehicle speed is more than approximately 84 mph (135 km/h) .
● When power is needed temporarily, for example when the accelera tor pedal
is depressed firmly or when accelerating suddenly.
*2
● When the temperature of the hybrid system is high.
The vehicle has been left in the sun, driven on a hill, driven at high speeds,
etc.
● When the temperature of the hybrid system is low.
● When the heater is switched on when the outside temperature is below
about 14°F (-10°C).
● When the windshield defogger switch is pressed.
● When the system determines that the gasoline engine needs to be started.
*1: The gasoline engine may also operate in circumstances other than those
listed above, depending on conditions.
*2: When driving in AUTO EV/HV mode. Even in EV mode, the gasolineengine may start, depending on the condition of the hybrid battery (traction
battery).
