charging inlet.
●When DC charging is interrupted,
follow the handling procedures of the DC charger. Immediately stop the DC charging when there is an
outbreak of heat, smoke, strange noises or smells, etc., during charging.
●Check that the DC charging con-nector and DC charging inlet do not have foreign objects or snow or ice
attached to it. If anything is attached to the inlet, be sure to completely remove the material
before connecting the DC charging connector.
●Do not charge the vehicle when there is a possibility of lightning. If you notice lightning while charging
the vehicle, do not touch the vehicle and the DC charging cable.
●Do not get the DC charging inlet terminals wet.
●Close the hood when using DC charging. The cooling fan may sud-denly start to run. Keep hands and
clothing (especially a tie, a scarf or a muffler) away from the fan. Fail-ure to do so may cause the hands
or clothing to be caught, resulting in serious injury.
■When connecting the DC charging connector
●Follow the handling procedures of
the DC charger to connect the DC charging connector. If the connector is not connected properly, the sys-
tem cannot recognize the connec- tion, and it may be possible to start the EV system.
After charging is completed, make sure to remove the DC charging con-
nector from the DC charging inlet before starting the EV system.

5-1. Before driving
Driving
is especially true when driving on
wet or slippery road surfaces.
■Sudden acceleration/steering
input/cornering
Executing sharp turns when towing
may result in the trailer colliding
with your vehicle. Decelerate well in
advance when approaching turns
and take them slowly and carefully
to avoid sudden braking.
■Important points regarding
turning
The wheels of the trailer will travel
closer to the inside of the curve
than the wheels of the vehicle. To
make allowance for this, take the
turns wider than you would nor-
mally do.
■Important points regarding
stability
Vehicle movement resulting from
uneven road surfaces and strong
crosswinds will affect handling. The
vehicle may also be rocked by
passing buses or large trucks. Fre-
quently check behind when moving
alongside such vehicles. As soon
as such vehicle movement occurs,
immediately start to decelerate
smoothly by slowly applying the
brakes. Always steer the vehicle
straight ahead while braking.
■Passing other vehicles
Consider the total combined length
of your vehicle and trailer and
ensure that the vehicle-to-vehicle
distance is sufficient before execut-
ing lane changes.
■If the EV system overheats
Towing a loaded trailer up a long,
steep incline in temperatures
exceeding 30°C (85°F) may result
in the EV system overheating. If the
EV system coolant temperature
gauge indicates that the EV system
is overheating, turn the air condi-
tioning off immediately, leave the
road and stop the vehicle in a safe
place. ( P.549)
■When parking the vehicle
Always place wheel chocks under
the wheels of both the vehicle and
trailer. Firmly set the parking brake
and shift the shift position to P.
WARNING
F o l l o w a l l t h e i n s t r u c t i o n s d e s c r i b e d i n this section. Failure to do so could cause an accident resulting in death
or serious injury.
■Trailer towing precautions
When towing, make sure that none of the weight limits are exceeded. ( P.554)
■Vehicle speed in towing
Observe the legal maximum speeds
for trailer towing.
■Before descending hills or long
declines
Reduce speed and downshift. How- ever, never downshift suddenly while
descending steep or long downhill grades.
