WARNING
QRoutine inspection
Check the following points regularly.
Failure to do so may cause an unex- pected accident, resulting in death or serious injury.
OThe AC charging cable, plug, charging connector, CCID (Charging Circuit Interrupting
Device) etc. have not been dam- aged.
OThe socket has not been damaged.
OThe plug can be securely inserted
into the socket.
OThe plug does not get extremely hot
during use.
OThe tip of the plug has not been
deformed.
OThe 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.
QMaintaining the AC charging cable
When the AC charging cable is dirty,
first remove the dirt with a hard, wringed cloth, and then wipe the cable with a dry cloth.
However, never wash it with water. If the AC charging cable is washed with water, fire or electric shock may occur
during charging, possibly resulting in death or serious injury.
QWhen not using the AC charging cable for a long time
Remove the plug from the socket.
Dust could accumulate on the plug or in the socket, possibly causing over-heating which could lead to a fire.
Also, keep the cable in a place free from moisture.

QWarning symbols
This device is for use with electric vehicles. (This device does
not require ventilation)
Do not attempt to disassemble or repair the AC charging
cable, charging connector, plug or CCID (Charging Circuit
Interrupting Device).
There may be a risk of electrical shock when using this device
improperly.
If the plug, charging connector or CCID (Charging Circuit
Interrupting Device) is abnormally hot during use, unplug it
immediately.
Connecting the AC charging cable to an extension cord is
strictly prohibited.
Do not connect the device to a socket that is loose, worn, or
broken. Ensure the plug fits the socket tightly.
When the plug is used with a rain-tight socket for outdoor use,
protect the plug and socket from rain and snow by using a
rain-tight cover.
Do not immerse the plug or cord in water or other liquid. Do
not expose the plug to rain and snow.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, connect only to a properly
grounding type socket.

1222-2. Charging
QIf the charging connector cannot be
unlocked
The charging connector can be unlocked by operating the emergency
release lever.
1 Open the back door. (P.210, 211)
2 Remove the cover as shown in the illustration.
3 Insert a hand from the lower side of the vehicle obliquely upward, and hook a finger to the emergency
release lever.
4 Move the emergency release lever
in the direction shown in the illustra-
tion.*
The charging connector is unlocked and
can be removed.*: Make sure to move in the direction
shown in the illustration. Applying
force in other directions may damage
the emergency release lever.
5 Reinstall the cover to the its original
position.
This method is a temporary correction procedure for emergency use only. If the
problem persists, have the vehicle inspected by any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or
any reliable repairer immediately.
Do not operate the emergency release lever when the charging connector can
be unlocked in the normal procedure.
WARNING
QWhen connecting the charging connector to the AC charging
inlet
Be careful not to touch the charging port lid lock portion.
When the connector lock operates, the charging port lid lock will also operate. The charging port lid lock pin
may hit a hand, resulting in an injury.
NOTICE
QWhen inserting the charging con- nector
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause a mal- function in the charging connector locking system.
OCheck that the charging connector is compatible with this vehicle.A charging connector of the differ-
ent type or a charging connector with damaged or deformed inser-tion part may not be locked.

Plug-in hybrid system
*: If the AC charging cable is equipped.
 Connect to an AC 220 V - 240 V
socket with a Residual Current
Circuit-Breaker (RCCB) and a
circuit breaker. Use of a 13A
individual circuit is strongly rec-
ommended to ensure AC
charging cable will operate prop-
erly.
 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.*
NOTICE
ODo not apply excessive force to the charging connector after the
charging connector is inserted. When removing the charging con-nector, make sure to unlock the
charging connector.
Power sources that can
be used*
An external power source that
fulfills the following criteria is
necessary for charging this
vehicle. Confirm this before
charging.
WARNING
QWarnings 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 regulations while charging
could lead to an accident, possibly resulting in death or serious injury.

WARNING
QPower sources precautions
Observe the following precautions.
If you do not follow them, fire, electri- cal shock and/or damages may occur, possibly resulting in death or serious
injury.
OConnect to an AC 220 V - 240 V
socket with a Residual Current Cir- cuit-Breaker (RCCB) and supplied by a circuit breaker in line with local
regulations. Use of an individual cir- cuit provided with at least 13A is strongly recommended.
ODo not connect the AC charging cable to a multi-socket adaptor,
multi-plugs, or conversion plug.
OConnecting the AC charging cable
to an extension cord is strictly pro- hibited. The extension cord may overheat and does not contain a
Residual Current Circuit-Breaker (RCCB).The leakage detection function of
the CCID (Charging Circuit Inter- rupting Device) ( P.112) may not operate correctly.
ODo not connect to a branch electri-cal socket.
OMake sure to connect the charging connector and AC charging inlet directly. Do not connect a convert-
ing adaptor or extension cord between the charging connector and AC charging inlet.

1322-2. Charging
This vehicle has been designed to
allow charging from an external
power source using a AC charging
cable for exclusive use with stan-
dard 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.
 The charging operation is
designed to operate at 8A-10A
continuously for the charge dura-
tion (approximately 9 hours).
( P.126)
 Charging can be conducted out-
doors.
To charge properly, follow the pro-
cedure after reading the explana-
tion below. Charging is intended to
be carried out by licensed drivers
only who properly understand the
charging procedure.
 Do not allow children to use the
AC charging cable without
supervision. Also, keep the AC
charging cable out of reach of
infants.
 When charging with a charger,
follow the procedures for using
each charger.
 When charging using a public
charging facility, check the set-
ting of the charging schedule
function.
• When the charging schedule is regis-
tered, temporarily turn off the function
or turn “Charge Now” on. ( P.144)
• 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
connection of the AC charging cable.
Before charging, always check the
following items.
 The parking brake is applied.
( P.282)
 Lights such as the headlights,
emergency flashers and interior
lights etc. are turned off.
If these light switches are turned on,
then these features will consume elec-
tricity, and charging time will increase.
 The power switch is turned to
OFF. ( P.276)
Before charging, make sure that
