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.

when charging from an AC socket
with the AC charging cable or
charging that uses AC charger.
By setting charging schedule, it is also
possible to charge at the desired date
and time. ( P.134)
■DC charging (P.129)
This charging method uses a DC
charger that complies with IEC
61851 and IEC 62196. The traction
battery can be charged in a shorter
time than AC charging.
IEC is an abbreviation for an inter-
national standard established by
the International Electrotechnical
Commission.
■Solar charging system*
( P.148)
*: If equipped
In certain conditions, when the
vehicle is parked, the traction bat-
tery can be charged by using elec-
tricity generated by the solar panel
equipped to the roof of the vehicle.
This vehicle is equipped with sev-
eral functions that are linked with
charging.
■My Room Mode ( P.145)
When the charging cable is con-
nected to the vehicle, electrical
components such as the air condi-
tioning system and audio system
can be used by the power supply
from an external power source*.
*: Depending on the situation, electricity
of the traction battery may be con-
sumed.
■Traction battery heater
When the outside temperature is
low and the charging cable is con-
nected to the vehicle, this function
automatically warms the traction
battery until it reaches or exceeds a
certain temperature.
The operation of this function is
stopped automatically when the
charging cable is disconnected
or if the charging cable is left
connected to the vehicle for
approximately 3 days.
When the charging schedule is
used ( P.134), this function will
operate according to the sched-
ule settings.
■Traction battery warming con-
trol

automatically stops. It automatically
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.
■Using My Room Mode during DC charging
P. 1 4 6
■Traction battery heater
●Traction battery heater may operate when charging is not being performed.
●When Traction battery heater is oper-ating, the charging indicator will illumi-
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

• When the charging schedule is regis- tered, temporarily turn off the function or turn “Charge Now” on. ( P.134)
• When the charging schedule is set to on, charging will not start even if the AC charging cable is connected. Also,
charging fee may occur due to con- nection of the AC charging cable.
■Capacity reduction of the traction battery
The capacity of the traction battery will decline gradually when the traction bat-tery is in use. The rate at which it
declines will differ in accordance with environmental conditions and the way in which the vehicle is used. Observing the
following can help suppress the decline in the traction battery capacity.
●Avoid parking the vehicle in high tem-perature areas, under direct sunlight when the traction battery is fully
charged.
●Avoid accelerating and decelerating
frequently and suddenly.
●Avoid frequent driving at high speed.
●Use the charging schedule function as much as possible in order to fully
charged the traction battery before starting off. ( P.134)
●Avoid frequent DC charging
Also, if the capacity of the traction bat-
tery capacity reduces, the distance that
can be driven decreases. However,
