 P. 1 1 0
■If a message indicating vehicle
error on the DC charger side is dis- played
Even if a message indicating vehicle
error on the DC charger side (ex. vehicle error found, vehicle error occurred, etc.) is displayed, there is no vehicle fault but
possibly a communication error between the DC charger and vehicle. In this case, there may be terminal damage (bad
contact) in the DC charging connector. If there is no error with the vehicle, contact the facility manager of the DC charger.
■During DC charging
●The current charging condition can be checked on the multi-information dis-
play.
●The actual charging time may differ
from that displayed on the DC charger during charging.
●There may be occasions the radio cannot be heard due to noise occur-rence during DC charging
●As the battery approaches full charge, the charging speed will decrease and
it will take longer to complete charging.
●The time to complete charging may change, or charging may stop before reaching the upper limit of the charge
capacity, due to the remaining charge of the traction battery, the outside tem-perature, the specifications of the
charger (stand), etc.
●It is recommended to avoid frequent
DC charging to prevent a decline in the traction battery capacity.
●Quickly move from the DC charging space for other users after the DC charging is completed.
■How to set the DC charging power
You can change the DC charging power limit on the multi-information display or multimedia.

WARNING
■Warnings for DC charging
Be sure to observe the following when
using DC charging.
Failure to do so may cause an acci- dent that could lead to death or seri-
ous injury.
●Check that the DC charger and DC charging inlet are not damaged. If
there is any damage to the DC charging inlet, do not perform a DC charge and have it inspected imme-
diately at any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
●Do not touch the terminals of the DC charging connector or inlet with
metallic sharp tips (wires and nee- dles), or allow a short circuit to occur with foreign objects.
●Do not insert anything other than the DC charging connector into the
DC charging inlet.
●Check that the DC charging cable is
not coiled up or pinned underneath heavy objects.
●Be sure the DC charging inlet makes direct contact with the DC charging connector.
Do not connect conversion adapt- ers, extension cords, etc., between the DC charging connector and DC
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.
If the vehicle is started off with the
connector still connected, it could lead to an accident, possibly resulting in death or serious injury.
●Do not remove the DC charging connector from the DC charging
inlet during DC charging. After operating the DC charger to stop charging, remove the DC charging
connector from the DC charging inlet.
