WARNING
●Carefully inspect the ground under the vehicle. If leaked liquid (other
than water from the air condition- ing) is found on the ground, the traction battery may have been
damaged. Leave the vehicle as soon as possible. In addition, contact any authorized
Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer with regard to the leakage found on
the ground. Even in the event of a minor acci-dent, the traction battery and sur-
rounding parts may be damaged. In case of an accident, have the trac-tion battery inspected at any autho-
rized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
■Traction battery
●Your vehicle contains a sealed lith-
ium-ion battery.
●Never resell, hand over or modify
the traction battery. To prevent acci- dents, traction batteries that have been removed from a disposed
vehicle are collected through any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable
repairer. Do not dispose of the bat- tery yourself. Unless the battery is properly collected, the following
may occur, resulting in death or serious injury:
• Do not illegally dispose of or dump the traction battery, and it is hazard-ous to the environment or someone
may touch a high voltage part, resulting in an electric shock.
• The traction battery is intended to be used exclusively with your bat-tery electric vehicle. If the traction
battery is used outside of your vehi- cle or modified in any way, acci-dents such as electric shock, heat
generation, smoke generation, an explosion and electrolyte leakage may occur. When reselling or hand-
ing over your vehicle, the possibility of an accident is extremely high because the person receiving the
vehicle may not be aware of the dangers from these modifications.
●If your vehicle is disposed of with-out the traction battery having been removed, there is a danger of seri-
ous electric shock if high voltage parts, cables and their connectors are touched. In the event that your
vehicle must be disposed of, the traction battery must be disposed of by any authorized Toyota retailer or
Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer or a qualified ser-vice shop. If the traction battery is
not disposed of properly, it may cause electric shock that can result in death or serious injury.
●For information about traction bat-tery collection locations, contact
information, or the recycling pro- cess, contact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized
repairer, or any reliable repairer.
■Caution while driving
●Pay special attention to the area around the vehicle. Because there is no engine noise, pedestrians,
people riding bicycles or other peo- ple and vehicles in the area may not be aware of the vehicle starting
off or approaching them, so take extra care while driving. Therefore, take extra care while driving even if
the Acoustic Vehicle Alerting Sys- tem is active.

pletely discharged
When the EV system cannot be started due to the traction battery being com-
pletely discharged, restart the system after AC charging or DC charging. When
charging, it is recommended to charge the traction battery until the traction bat-tery charge warning light turns off in
order to ensure sufficient driving dis- tance.
WARNING
●If the vehicle under floor area receives strong shock or impact
while driving, stop the vehicle in a safe place and check around the bottom of the vehicle. If there is
damage to the traction battery or liquid leakage, it may lead to a vehi-cle fire, etc. Do not touch the vehi-
cle and immediately contact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable
repairer. Even if no damage can be seen under the floor, the traction battery
may be damaged. If the vehicle received an impact under the floor, have the traction battery inspected
at any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
■Modifications
Do not make modifications that lower
the height of the vehicle. The traction battery in the under floor area may come into contact with the ground
when the height of vehicle is lowered. If the traction battery is damaged, a vehicle fire may occur, possibly result-
ing in death or serious injury.

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)

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).
