2-2. Charging
For safety, inspect the AC charging
cable on a routine basis.
WARNING
●Do not replace the plug-cord with wet hands.
Also, do not replace in a place that is rainy or wet.
●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
authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.

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-

■If the AC charging connector can-not be unlocked
Use the following procedure to unlock the AC charging connector if the AC charging connector cannot be removed
after unlocking the doors.
Only use the emergency release wire when the AC charging connector cannot
be unlocked using other methods.
1 Open the hood. (P.467)
2 Pull the emergency release wire.
The AC charging connector is unlocked and can be removed.
3 After unlocking the AC charging con- nector, fix the handle of the emer-gency release wire to the
attachment.
NOTICE
■When inserting the AC charging connector
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause a mal- function in the charging connector locking system.
●Check that the AC charging con-nector is compatible with this vehi-
cle.
A charging connector of the different
type or a charging connector with
damaged or deformed insertion part
may not be locked.
●Do not apply excessive force to the AC charging connector after the AC charging connector is inserted.
When removing the AC charging con-
nector, make sure to unlock the AC
charging connector.

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.
