■The charging port lid will be locked when
●In the following cases, the charging port lid will be locked.• The doors are locked with the wireless
remote control • The doors are locked with the smart entry & start system
• The doors are locked with the mechanical key
●The charging port lid will automatically be locked if the security feature locks the doors when the charging port lid is
closed. ( P.186)
●If the charging port lid is closed after
the doors are locked, the charging port lid will not be locked. In that case, after unlocking the doors once, the
charging port lid can be locked by locking the doors.
■Lid lifter
●The charging lid is not closed if the lifter is pushing in before closing the charging lid. In that case, while
unlocking the door, push again and release the lid lifter, and close the
charging lid again.
■Charging port lid open/close detec-
tion switch
When the charging port lid is open, do not touch the charging port lid
open/close detection switch (Position shown in the figure).
If you touch it by mistake, the vehicle
may incorrectly display the opened/closed status of the charging port lid, or the charging connector may
not be able to lock/unlock normally.

WARNING
■When using the AC charging
cable and CCID (Charging Circuit Interrupting Device)
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause an unex- pected accident, resulting in death or serious injury.
●Do not attempt to disassemble or repair the AC charging cable, charging connector, plug or CCID
(Charging Circuit Interrupting Device). If a problem arises with the AC charging cable or the CCID
(Charging Circuit Interrupting Device), stop charging immediately and contact any authorized Toyota
retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
●Do not subject the AC charging cable, charging connector, plug or CCID (Charging Circuit Interrupting
Device) to strong force or impact.
●Do not apply excessive force to the
AC charging cable by forcefully folding, twisting, pulling or dragging the AC charging cable.
●Do not damage the AC charging cable with sharp objects.
●Do not fold the charging connector or plug or insert foreign objects into
them.
●Do not put the charging connector
and plug into water.
●Do not bring the AC charging cable
to a high-temperature item such as a heating device.

WARNING
●Do not apply a load to the AC charging cable and plug-cord (such
as wrapping the AC charging cable around the CCID (Charging Circuit Interrupting Device) and the
charging connector).
●Do not use or leave the AC
charging cable in situations where a load is applied to the socket and the plug (such as when the CCID
(Charging Circuit Interrupting Device) is hanging in the air without contacting the ground).
NOTICE
■Precautions when handling AC charging cable
Make sure to observe the following
precautions. Failure to observe these precautions may result in damage to the AC charging cable and AC
charging inlet.
●Insert the charging connector
straight into the AC charging inlet.
●After inserting the charging connec-
tor, do not apply excessive force to or twist the connector. Also, do not lean on the connector or hang any
objects from it.
●Do not step on or trip over the AC
charging cable.
●Before removing the charging con-
nector, make sure that it is unlocked. ( P. 1 1 0 )
●After removing the AC charging cable, promptly return it to its proper location.
●After removing the charging con-nector, securely install the AC
charging inlet cap.
■When using the AC charging cable and related parts
 P. 1 2 1
■Precautions for low tempera- tures
In low temperatures, the AC charging cable and plug-cord may become hard. Therefore, make sure to not
apply excessive force when they are hard. If excessive force is applied to the hardened AC charging cable and
plug-cord, they may be damaged.

■AC charging cable types
The following charging modes are categorized according to the a vailability of a
charging control device, which detects malfunctions such as ele ctrical leakages, and its location (whether it is attached to the charger or AC charg ing cable). The type of AC charging cable that can be used differs according to the cha rging mode

2-2. Charging
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)
Grounding (Mode 2 AC
charging cable)
WARNING
■Grounding precautions
●Improper connection of the ground-
ing conductor increases the risk of electric shock.Check with a qualified electrician or
serviceman if you are in doubt as to whether the product is properly grounded.
●Do not modify the grounding plug provided with the product. If it does
not fit the socket, have a proper socket installed by a qualified elec-trician.
Safety functions

Owners Manual_Europe_M42D76_en
2-2. Charging
■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 leak-
age.
If the power source is interrupted, the
error warning indicator flashes.
If the power source is interrupted:
 P. 1 0 2
■Automatic check function
This is an automatic system check
that is run before charging begins
to check for problems in the opera-
tion of the electrical leakage detec-
tion function.
If a malfunction is found in the electrical
leakage detection function as a result of
the check, the error warning indicator
flashes to inform the user. ( P.102)
■Temperature detection func-
tion
A temperature detection function is
equipped to the plug. While
charging, if heat is generated due
to looseness on the socket side
etc., this function suppresses heat
by controlling the charging current.
■Conditions for supplying cur-
rent to the vehicle
The CCID (Charging Circuit Inter-
rupting Device) is designed to pre-
vent 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 socket.
■Indicator operation
3 indicators are used to indicate the
following conditions.
Power indicator
Illuminates when electricity is flowing to
the CCID (Charging Circuit Interrupting
Device).
Charging indicator
Illuminates when charging is in prog-
ress.
Error warning indicator
Flashes when there is an electrical
leakage or when a malfunction occurs
in the CCID (Charging Circuit Interrupt-
ing Device).
■When a malfunction occurs during charging
The indicators on the CCID (Charging Circuit Interrupting Devic e) use a
combination of different statuses (not illuminated, illuminated or flashing) to
inform the user of internal malfunctions.

rupting Device) indicators
