Electric Vehicle system
This product must be grounded. In
case of malfunction or break down,
grounding provides a path of least
resistance for electric current to
reduce the risk of electric shock.
This product is equipped with a
grounding conductor and a ground-
ing plug. The grounding plug must
be plugged into an appropriate
socket that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all
local codes and ordinances.
The CCID (Charging Circuit Inter-
rupting Device) has the following
safety features.
Charging modeOutline
Mode 1
A charging method which does not use charging control to
detect electrical leakages between an external power source
and the vehicle. Does not apply to this vehicle.
Mode 2
A charging method which connects the vehicle to an external
power source through a AC charging cable equipped with a
CCID (Charging Circuit Interrupting Device).
Applies to charging through most household sockets.
Mode 3
A charging method which charges from a charger (such as at a
public charging station) equipped with charging control to
detect electrical leakages. Control to detect electrical leakag es
is implemented on the charger side. Therefore, a CCID
(Charging Circuit Interrupting Device) is not equipped to the A C
charging cable.
Not all chargers are equipped with AC charging cables. If there
is no AC charging cable available, use the Mode 3 AC charging
cable equipped to this vehicle. (if equipped)

tricity, and charging time will increase.
Before charging, make sure that
each part of the AC charging cable
is in good condition. ( P.106)
■During charging
●The charging starting time may differ
depending on the state of the vehicle, but this does not indicate a malfunc-
tion.
●During charging, sounds may be
heard from near the traction battery in accordance with the operation of the air conditioning system or “Battery
Cooler” ( P.115).
●During and after charging, the motor
compartment and its surrounding area in which the onboard traction battery charger is installed may get warm.
