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.

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

2-2. Charging
Connect to an AC 220 V - 240 V
socket with a Residual Current
Circuit-Breaker (RCCB) and a
circuit breaker. Use of a 13A indi-
vidual circuit is strongly recom-
mended to ensure AC charging
cable will operate properly.
We strongly recommend that you
use an exclusive connection
from the junction box for
charging. If you connect on a
socket that is on a shared circuit,
and other electrical appliances
are used on other sockets on the
same circuit, then the circuit
breaker might trip.*
Ensure that the junction box is
equipped with a Residual Cur-
rent Circuit-Breaker (RCCB). If it
is not, have one installed by a
duly qualified professional.
When charging outdoors, make
sure to connect to a rain-tight
socket that is certified for outdoor
use. Checking Residual Current
Circuit-Breaker (RCCB) opera-
tion before its use is recom-
mended.
• Check whether there are any local
BEV-charging regulations in place,
and adhere to them.
*: For detailed information, consult an
electrician.
■The charging environment
For safe charging, the following charging equipment and settings are recommended.
●Rain-tight socket
When charging outdoors, connect the
plug to a rain-tight socket, and ensure
that the plug remains waterproof while
the plug is connected.
●Dedicated circuit • To reduce the risk of fire, connect only to an at least 13A branch circuit with
an over-current protection. • To reduce the risk of electric shock when working with the plug, connect
to a socket that has a Residual Cur- rent Circuit-Breaker (RCCB) installed.
●Remote switch
Allows the electricity from the socket to
be interrupted by operating a switch,
thus allowing safe removal and insertion
of the plug on rainy days.
Power sources that can
be used
An external power source that
fulfills the follo wing criteria is
necessary for charging this
vehicle.
Confirm this before charging.
WARNING
■Warnings for electrical faults
Make sure to observe the precautions
in this Owner’s Manual when charging the vehicle.
Failure to use a power source that ful-
fills the requirements, or failure to observe the regulations while charging could lead to an accident,
possibly resulting in death or serious injury.

insulates the traction battery in
extremely low temperatures.
This control stops 31 days after
the charging cable is connected,
even if it is still connected to the
vehicle.
When this control operates,
charging schedule settings are
ignored and charging starts
immediately.
■Traction battery cooler
When the traction battery is hot and
the AC charging cable is connected
to the vehicle, this function cools
the traction battery to protect it.
The function may operate when
continuously driving at high speeds
such as driving on highways or
freeways, or during DC charging.

nate.
●When Traction battery heater is oper-
ating during charging, the charging may take longer than normal.
●The remaining charge of the traction battery declines when the traction bat-tery heater operates, it might be nec-
essary to recharge the traction battery again in order to supplement the remaining charge.
■Traction battery cooler
●For AC charging: Traction battery cooler settings can be changed on the
multi-information display. ( P.115)
●The charging indicator will illuminate
when the traction battery cooler is on standby or operating.
●When the charge level of the traction battery is low, the traction battery cooler may not operate, even if the
temperature of the traction battery is high.
●When the following conditions are met while the traction battery cooler is operating, the cooling operation will
stop. • The hood is opened• The power switch is turned to ACC or
ON. • The shift position is changed to any position other than P
• The Remote Air Conditioning System is operated ( P.427) • The remaining charge of the traction
battery drops below a certain amount
●The traction battery cooler operates
using power supplied by the traction battery and an external power source.• While the traction battery cooler is
operating, the charge of the traction battery will increase and decrease within a certain range, and will not
increase as during AC charging. • When the traction battery cooler oper-ates, charger will recognize it as the
battery being charged. If this function operates while a charger which charges a charging fee is connected
to the vehicle, AC charging fees will apply.
