2-1. Electric vehicle system
■Charging the traction battery
Be sure to maintain the traction battery charge level suitable for your driving needs.
If the traction battery fully discharges, the vehicle cannot be driven at all. When the battery becomes low, charge it as
soon as possible.
■If the traction battery becomes low
●If the traction battery becomes low,
the traction battery charge warning light comes on or flashes and a mes-sage will be displayed on the multi-
information display. ( P.517)
●If the traction battery is completely
discharged, the EV system cannot be started and driving will not be possi-ble. When the traction battery
becomes low, charge it as soon as possible.
■Sounds and vibrations specific to an battery electric vehicle
Because there is no engine sound or vibration, it is easy to mistake the bat-tery electric vehicle for being off when it
is actually still running, as indicated by the “READY” indicator being illuminated. For safety, make sure to always shift the
shift position to P and apply the parking brake when parked.
Before and after the EV system is
started, the following sounds and vibra- tions may occur. However, these sounds and/or vibrations are not signs of mal-
functions:
●The brake system operation sound
may be heard from the front of the vehicle when the driver’s door is opened.
●Motor sounds may be heard from the motor compartment or luggage com-
partment.
●Electrical relay sounds may be heard
from the motor compartment when the EV system starts or stops.
●Relay operating sounds such as a snap or soft clank will be emitted from the traction battery in the following sit-
uations:
• When the EV system is started or stopped• When charging starts or completes
• When the vehicle is driven the first time after the traction battery has been charged using DC charging
●Sounds may be heard due to regener-ative braking when the brake pedal is
depressed or as the accelerator pedal is released.
●Cooling fan operating sounds from the radiator.
●The operation sound of the air condi-tioning system (air conditioning com-pressor, blower motor).
■Maintenance, repair, recycling, and
disposal
Contact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reli-
able repairer regarding maintenance, repair, recycling and disposal. Do not dispose of the vehicle yourself.
A sound which changes in accor-
dance with the driving speed, will
be played in order to warn people
nearby of the vehicle’s approach.
This sound may be heard inside the
vehicle. The sound will stop when
the vehicle speed exceeds approxi-
mately 25 km/h (15 mph).
■Acoustic Vehicle Alerting System
In the following cases, the Acoustic Vehicle Alerting System may be difficult
for surrounding people to hear.
●In very noisy areas
●In the wind or the rain
Also, as the Acoustic Vehicle Alerting
System is installed on the front of the

■Electromagnetic waves
●High-voltage parts and cables on the battery electric vehicles incorporate electro-magnetic shielding, and there-
fore emit approximately the same amount of electromagnetic waves as conventional gasoline-powered vehi-
cles or home electronic appliances.
●Your vehicle may cause sound inter-
ference in some third party-produced radio parts.
■Traction battery (Lithium-ion bat-tery)
The traction battery has a limited service life.
The traction battery capacity (the ability
to store energy) reduces with time and use in the same way as other recharge-able batteries. The extent at which
capacity reduces changes drastically depending on the environment (outside temperature, etc.) and usage conditions,
such as how the vehicle is driven and how the traction battery is charged.
This is a natural characteristic of lithium-
ion batteries, and is not a malfunction. Also, even though the driving range decreases when the traction battery
capacity reduces, vehicle performance does not significantly become worse. In order to reduce the possibility of the
capacity reducing, follow the directions listed on P.119, “Capacity reduction of the traction battery”.
■Starting the EV system in an
extremely cold environment
When the traction battery is extremely cold (below approximately -30°C [-
22°F]) due to the temperature outside of
the vehicle, it may not be possible to start the EV system. In this case, try to
start the EV system again after the tem- perature of the traction battery increases due to the outside temperature increas-
ing, etc.
■Declaration of conformity
This model conforms to hydrogen emis- sions according to regulation ECE100
(Battery electric vehicle safety).
WARNING
■High-voltage precautions
The vehicle has high voltage DC and AC systems as well as a 12-volt sys-tem.
DC and AC high voltage systems are very dangerous and can cause severe burns and electric shock that
may result in death or serious injury.
●Never touch, disassemble, remove, or replace the high voltage parts,
cables (orange) or their connectors.
●The EV system will become hot
after starting as the system uses high voltage. Be careful of both the high voltage and the high tempera-
ture, and always obey the warning labels attached to the vehicle.

2-2. Charging
■Safety functions
●The EV system will not start while the charging cable is attached to the vehi-
cle, even if the power switch is oper- ated.
●If the charging cable is connected while the “READY” indicator is illumi-nated, the EV system will stop auto-
matically and driving will not be possible.
Things to know before
charging
Make sure to r ead the follow-
ing precautions before
charging the traction battery.
WARNING
■Caution when charging
People with implantable cardiac pace- makers or cardiac resynchronization
therapy-pacemakers should not carry out the charging procedure. Ask someone else to do it.
●Do not approach the charger and charging cable while charging. Charging procedure may affect the
operation of such devices.
●Do not remain in the vehicle during
charging. Charging procedure may affect the operation of such devices.
●Do not enter the vehicle even to take something out of the luggage
compartment. Charging procedure may affect the operation of such devices.
■When the charging cable is con-nected to the vehicle
Do not change the shift position from
P.
In the unlikely event that the charging cable has been damaged, the shift
position may change from P to another position and the vehicle could move, possibly leading to an acci-
dent.
■Charging precautions
This vehicle has been designed to allow charging from an external power source using an AC charging
cable for exclusive use with standard household AC sockets.
However, the vehicle differs greatly
from standard household electrical goods in the following ways, and incorrect usage could cause fire or
electric shock, possibly leading to death or serious injury.
●When 220 V - 240 V charging, a large amount of current will flow for a long time.
●Charging can be conducted out-doors.
NOTICE
■Charging precautions
To charge properly, follow the proce- dure after reading the explanation
below. Charging is intended to be car- ried out by licensed drivers only who properly understand the charging pro-
cedure.

2-2. Charging
charging completes may be less than
normal in order to protect the traction battery (the driving range after the bat-
tery is fully charged may be shorter).*
●Charging is performed when the out- side temperature is low or high
●Charging is performed immediately after high-load driving or in extreme
heat
In any other situation, if the remaining
charge of the traction battery is signifi-
cantly lower than normal after charging
completes, have the vehicle inspected
by any authorized Toyota retailer or
Toyota authorized repairer, or any reli-
able repairer.
*: When this occurs, even if the remain-
ing charge display of the traction bat-
tery shows that it is fully charged, the
remaining charge rapidly decreases
faster than normal.
■When the charging amount sent to the traction battery decreases
