982-1. Plug-in hybrid system
There is an air intake vent under
the rear seat for cooling the DC/DC
converter.
Blocking the air intake vent may
prevent the plug-in hybrid system
from operating properly.
When a certain level of impact is
detected by the impact sensor, the
emergency shut off system blocks
off the high voltage current and
NOTICE
QNotice about fuel
OFor Plug in Hybrid Electric Vehicles,
fuel may remain in the tank for a long time and undergo changes in quality depending on the how the
vehicle is used. Refuel at least 20 L (5.3 gal., 4.4 Imp.gal.) of fuel every 12 months (refuel a total of at least
20 L [5.3 gal., 4.4 Imp.gal.] over a 12-month period), as this may affect components of the fuel sys-
tem or the gasoline engine.
OIf the vehicle has not been refueled
for a certain amount of time and it is possible that the quality of the fuel remaining in the tank has changed,
“No New Fuel has been Added Recently Please refuel” is displayed on the multi-information display
when the power switch is turned to ON. If the message is displayed, refuel the vehicle immediately.
DC/DC converter air intake
vent
NOTICE
QDC/DC converter air intake vent
OMake sure not to block the air
intake vent with anything, such as a seat cover, plastic cover, or lug-gage. Blocking the air intake vent
may prevent the plug-in hybrid sys- tem from operating properly.
OWhen dust etc. has accumulated in the air intake vent, clean it with a vacuum cleaner to prevent the vent
from clogging.
ODo not wet or allow foreign sub-
stances to enter the air vent as this may cause a short circuit and dam-age the DC/DC converter.
ODo not carry large amounts of water such as water cooler bottles in the
vehicle. If water spills onto the DC/DC converter, the converter may be damaged. Have the vehicle
inspected by any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
OA filter is installed to the air intake vent. When the filter remains
noticeably dirty even after cleaning the air intake vent, filter cleaning or replacement is recommended.
When cleaning the filter, refer to P.479.
OIf “Maintenance required for DCDC converter cooling parts See Owner’s Manual” is shown on the
multi-information display, the air intake vent and filter may be clogged. Refer to P.479 for informa-
tion on how to clean the air intake vent.

1382-2. Charging
charging is displayed ( P.193).
QCharging at a public charging sta-
tion with authentication function
When a door is unlocked during charging, the charging connector is
unlocked and charging will be stopped. In this case, the charging station authentication is canceled and charging
may not be able to restart. Reconnect the charging connector and perform authentication for the charging station.
QProtection function of AC charging
inlet overheating (vehicles with 6.6 kW onboard traction battery char-ger)
By installing a temperature sensor to the AC charging inlet, prevents parts from melting when the temperature rises due
to foreign matter entering the charging connector. When a certain temperature increase is detected, charging is
stopped immediately and a message is displayed on the multi-information dis-play. After the temperature has
decreased, charging resumes by per- forming the operation to start charging again.
WARNING
QWhen charging
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause an unex-
pected accident, resulting in death or serious injury.
OConnect to a power source suitable
for charging. ( P.123)
OCheck that the AC charging cable,
plug and socket are free of foreign matter.
OBefore charging, check that the AC charging inlet is not deformed, damaged or corroded, and check
that the inlet is free of foreign mat- ter such as dirt, snow and ice. If there is dirt or dust in these areas,
remove completely before inserting the charging connector.
OBefore inserting the charging plug into the charger, make sure there is no dirt or dust on the terminal
areas. If there is dirt or dust in these areas, remove completely before inserting the charging plug.
ODo not get the terminals of the AC charging inlet wet.
OOnly use sockets where the plug can be securely inserted.
ODo not bundle or wind the AC charging cable while charging, as
doing so may result in overheating.
ODo not touch the terminals of the
charging connector and AC charging inlet with a sharp metal objects (needles etc.) or hands, or
short them with foreign objects.
OWhen charging outdoors, make
sure to connect to a rain-tight socket for outdoor use. Ensure the rain-tight cover closes completely. If
the rain-tight cover cannot be closed, install a rain-tight cover that will close.
OIn order to stop charging at the charging station, follow the instruc-
tions of the charger.
OIf any heat, smoke, odors, noise or
other abnormalities are noticed during charging, stop charging immediately.
ODo not insert the plug if the socket is submerged in water or snow.
OWhen charging while it is raining or snowing, do not connect or discon-
nect the plug if your hands are wet. Also, do not get the plug or outlet wet.
ODo not charge the vehicle during a lightning storm.
OPrevent the AC charging cable from being caught in the door or back
door.
