4Insert the release key into the
release slot of the CCID
(Charging Circuit Interrupting
Device).
Insert the release key in the direction
shown in the illustration.
5 With the release key fully
inserted into the release slot of
the CCID (Charging Circuit
Interrupting Device), turn the
plug-cord connector nut of the
plug-cord to remove the cord.
After the plug-cord is removed, remove
the release key.
Do not leave the vehicle alone with the plug-cord removed. If the plug-cord is
not installed, water or other foreign mat- ter may enter the CCID (Charging Cir-cuit Interrupting Device), resulting in a
malfunction.
6 Align the protrusion of the CCID
(Charging Circuit Interrupting
Device), with the groove of the
plug-cord, insert the plug-cord
into the CCID (Charging Circuit
Interrupting Device), and then
turn the plug-cord connector nut
of the plug-cord to install it.
Make sure that there are no foreign objects attached to the connection before installing the plug-cord. Remove
any foreign objects if they are attached. Otherwise, water or other foreign mat-ter may enter the CCID (Charging Cir-
cuit Interrupting Device), resulting in a malfunction.
Turn the plug-cord connector nut of the
plug-cord in the opposite direction of removal until a click sound is heard and the plug-cord is secured.
7 Install the plug-cord connector
cap and release key to the plug-
cord that has been removed.
Securely install the release key to the plug-cord connector cap to prevent it from being lost. Also, make sure that
the release key does not fall out of the plug-cord connector cap accidentally.
Store the plug-cord in a safe, clean and
dry place.
WARNING
■When replacing the plug-cord (if equipped)
Check the following points regularly.
Failure to do so may cause an unex- pected accident, resulting in death or
serious injury.

●Do not replace the plug-cord when the plug and/or charging connector are connected.
●Do not leave the CCID (Charging Circuit Interrupting Device) with the
plug-cord removed.
●Check whether there are any local
BEV-charging regulations in place, and adhere to them.
●Make sure that there are no foreign objects attached to the connection when installing the plug-cord to the
CCID (Charging Circuit Interrupting Device).
●When replacing the plug-cord, firmly turn the nut of the plug-cord until a click sound can be heard.
●When replacing the plug-cord, make sure to use the release key.
●Do not replace the plug cord in Nor-way.
NOTICE
■Precautions for the plug-cord (if equipped)
Do not use the plug-cord for any use other than charging this vehicle. Doing so may cause the plug-cord to
be damaged.
Inspecting the AC charging
cable
WARNING
■Routine inspection
Check the following points regularly.
Failure to do so may cause an unex- pected accident, resulting in death or serious injury.
●The AC charging cable, plug, charging connector, CCID (Charging Circuit Interrupting
Device), etc., have not been dam- aged
●The socket has not been damaged.
●The plug can be securely inserted
into the socket.
●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 socket before inspecting it. If any abnormali-ties are found in the AC charging
cable as a result of the inspection, immediately stop use and consult any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota

■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, possibly resulting in death or serious injury.
■When not using the AC charging cable for a long time
Remove the plug from the socket. Dust could accumulate on the plug or in the socket, possibly causing over-
heating which could lead to a fire.
Also, keep the cable in a place free from moisture.
Appendix
This device is for use with battery electric vehicles. (This
device does not require ventilation)
Do not attempt to disassemble or repair the AC charging
cable, charging connector, plug or CCID (Charging Circuit
Interrupting Device).

2-2. Charging
There may be a risk of electrical shock when using this device
improperly.
If the plug, charging connector or CCID (Charging Circuit
Interrupting Device) is abnormally hot during use, unplug it
immediately.
Connecting the AC charging cable to an extension cord is
strictly prohibited.
Do not connect the device to a socket that is loose, worn, or
broken. Ensure the plug fits the socket tightly.
When the plug is used with a rain-tight socket for outdoor use,
protect the plug and socket from rain and snow by using a
rain-tight cover.
Do not immerse the plug or cord in water or other liquid. Do
not expose the plug to rain and snow.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, connect only to a properl y
grounding type socket.
Do not hang the CCID (Charging Circuit Interrupting Device)
on the plug. Ensure the CCID (Charging Circuit Interrupting
Device) is supported.

2-2. Charging
■Locking the charging connec-
tor
The AC charging connector will be
automatically locked when inserting
it into the AC charging inlet.
■Unlocking the charging con-
nector
The AC charging connector will be
unlocked when the doors are
unlocked using the smart entry &
start system or wireless remote
control.
The AC charging connector locks
when connected and unlocks when
the door is unlocked, so lock-
ing/unlocking the AC charging con-
nector does not necessarily
correspond to locking/unlocking the
door.
If the door is unlocked and the AC
charging connector is locked, you
can unlock it by doing the following:
• When using the smart entry &
start system, lock the door once
and then unlock it again.
(→P.185)
• When using the wireless remote
control, press the unlock button
to unlock the door. (→P.185)
■AC charging connector lock func-
tion
If the AC charging connector is locked/unlocked repeatedly, it may not
work temporary due to protect the sys- tem by AC charging system. In this case, wait for a while before connecting
the AC charging connector to AC charging inlet again.
The AC charging connector lock func-
tion does not guarantee that theft of the AC charging cable will be prevented, and is not necessarily effective for all
mischiefs.
■Security function for unlocking
If the AC charging connector is not removed within approximately 30 sec-
onds after the vehicle is unlocked, the security function automatically locks the connector again.
■Unlocking the AC charging connec-
tor during charging
If the AC charging connector is unlocked during charging, charging will be
stopped. Once the security function ( P.77) works, charging may not restart automatically. In this case, remove the
AC charging connector* and insert it again.*: When the AC charging connector is
removed, the charging schedule will
be updated. ( P.134)
■When the AC charging connector cannot be inserted into the AC
charging inlet
Check that the connector lock pin is not lowered.
If the connector lock pin is lowered, the connector lock is operating. Unlock the doors using the smart entry & start sys-
Locking and unlocking
AC charging connector
The AC charging connector
will be locked when it is con-
nected to the AC charging
inlet, preventing the AC
charging cable from being dis-
connected while charging.
