conditions, both the battery and
ambient temperature will affect the
required charging time and, in certain
situations, this may lead to a signi ficant
increase in the charging time.
Normal charging
Normal Charging can be performed at
home using either a household power
source such as a wall outlet or wall
box, or similar method (alternating
current). Additionally, charging can be
performed at a public charging facility
using a charger other than a quick
charger (direct current).
When charging is started after the
remaining high voltage battery power
warning indication/warning light turns
on, the time it takes to fully charge the
high voltage battery at a public AC
charging facility is about 5 hours. Using
a household power source for charging
will increase the charging time to fully
charge the high voltage battery.
For normal charging , the charging
timer function can be used to charge
automatically from start to finish.
For details on how to use the charging
timer function, refer to Charging
Settings on page 3-21.
Quick charging
When charging is started at a quick
charging station (DC with 50 kW or
higher) the high voltage battery can be
charged from a 20% to 80% battery
charge level in about 36 minutes. The
exact charging time depends on
various conditions at the time of
charging , such as the type of charger,
battery condition, ch arging patterns, as
well as the battery temperature and
ambient temperature. In cold weather
conditions, both the battery and
ambient temperature will aff ect the
required charging time and, in certainsituations, this may lead to a significant
increase in the charging time.
WARNING
Always heed the following when
using a quick charger:
Otherwise, it could lead to an
accident.
Do not use a charge cable which
exceeds 30 m (98 ft).
This vehicle is compatible with quick
chargers with charge cables of 30 m
(98 ft) or shorter and which do not
charge other devices or vehicles at
the same time.
How to perform normal charging
1. Shift the selector lever to the P position.
2. Switch the power switch OFF.
3. Press the location shown in the figure to open the charge lid.
