■The USB Type-C charging ports
can be used when
The power switch i s in ACC or ON.
■Situations in which the USB
Type-C charging ports may not
operate correctly
●If a device which consumes more
than 3 A at 5 V is connected
●If a device designed to communi-
cate with a personal computer,
such as a USB memory device, is
connected
●If the connected external device is
turned off (depending on device)
●If the temperature inside the vehi-
cle is high, such as after the vehi-
cle has been park ed in the sun
■About connected external
devices
Depending on the connected exter-
nal device, charging may occasion-
ally be suspended and then start
again. This is not a malfunction.
A portable device can be
charged by just placing Qi stan-
dard wireless charge compatible
portable devices according to
the Wireless Power Consortium,
such as smartphones and
mobile batteries, etc., on the
charge area.
This function cannot be used
with portable devices that are
larger than the charging tray.
Also, depending on the portable
device, it may not operate as
normal. Please read the opera-
tion manual for portable devices
to be used.

NOTICE
■To prevent damage to the
USB Type-C charging ports
●Do not insert foreign objects into
the ports.
●Do not spill water or other liq-
uids into the ports.
●When the USB Type-C charging
ports are not in use, close the
lids. If a foreign object or liquid
enters a port may cause a short
circuit.
●Do not apply excessive force to
or impact the USB Type-C
charging ports.
●Do not disassemble or modify
the USB Type-C charging ports.
■To prevent damage to exter-
nal devices
●Do not leave external devices in
the vehicle. The temperature
inside the vehicle may become
high, resulting in damage to an
external device.
●Do not push down on or apply
unnecessary force to an exter-
nal device or the cable of an
external device while it is con-
nected.
■To prevent 12-volt battery dis-
charge
Do not use the USB Type-C
charging ports for a long period of
time when the hybrid system is
off.

dealer.
■To prevent malfunctions and
data corruptions
●When charging, bringing a
credit, or other magnetic card,
or magnetic storage media
close to the charge area may
clear any stored data due to
magnetic influence. Also, do not
bring a wristwatch or other pre-
cision instrument close to the
charge area since doing so may
cause it to malfunction.
●Do not charge with a non-con-
tact IC card such as a transpor-
tation system IC card inserted
between the charging side of a
portable device and the charge
area. The IC chip may become
extremely hot and damage the
portable device or IC card. Be
especially careful not to charge
a portable device inside a case
or cover with a non-contact IC
card attached.
●Do not leave portable devices
inside the vehicle. The inside of
the vehicle can become hot in
extreme heat, which could
cause a malfunction.
■If the smartphone OS has
been updated
If the smartphone OS has been
updated to a newer version, its
charging specifications may have
changed significantly. For details,
check the information on the man-
ufacturer’s website.
■To prevent 12-volt battery dis-
charge
Do not use the wireless charger
for a long period of time when the
hybrid system is stopped.

usage of 1500 W at AC 120 V for
the power outlet (AC 120 V/1500
W). If electrical devices exceeding
the specified capacity are used,
the protection fun ction will activate
and prevent the power outlet from
being used.
●Some electrical devices with high
power consumptio n (such as an
electric griddle) may need to use
the power outlet solely. In this
case, do not use such a device
together with other devices.
●When power is supplied to multi-
ple devices, some devices may
not operate properly. In this case,
use the device solely.
●While the power outlet is used, a
large current may flow causing the
current power to exceed 1500 W
depending on the electrical device
used. In this situation, the protec-
tion function may activate and
stop the power supply function.
●Certain types of electrical devices
may disturb TV or radio by noises.
●Noise may be heard from the cool-
ing fan under the rear seats when
using the power outlet, but this is
not a malfunction.
■120 VAC Devices which may
not operate properly
The following electrical devices may
not operate properly even if their
total power consumption is less than
1500 W.
●Devices with high initial peak watt-
age
●Devices that require larger power
consumption than described in the
instruction manual of the electrical
device.
●Measuring devices that process
precise data
●Devices that require an extremely
stable power supply
●Devices that require a constant
power supply from the power out-
let, such as a device with a timer.
■Idling stop regulations
The engine starts automatically and
charging starts when the remaining
charge of the hybrid battery (traction
battery) decreases, etc. Some
states have regulations against
starting the engine while the vehicle
is parked or stopped. Check the reg-
ulations of the applicable local gov-
ernment, and use the power outlet
appropriately.
■When using the power outlet
while the vehicle is parked or
stopped
●The doors cannot be locked or
unlocked using the smart key sys-
tem.
●The doors cannot be locked or
unlocked using the electronic key.
The doors can on ly be locked or
unlocked using the mechanical
key ( P.532).
●A buzzer may sound or “Key Not
Detected Check Key Location”
may be displayed on the multi-
information display when the door
is opened or closed. Make sure to
carry the electronic key on your
person.
●When the surroundings are dark
while using the power outlet, the
headlights turn on automatically.
To turn off the lights, refer to
P.293. (except for Canada)
WARNING
■For safe use
Observe the following precau-
tions.
Failure to do so may lead to an
accident, resulting in death or
serious injury.
●Do not allow pers ons unfamiliar
with the system, such as a child,
to use the power outlet by them-
selves.

WARNING
●The gasoline engine starts auto-
matically when the remaining
charge of the hybrid battery
(traction battery) decreases.
When using a power outlet in an
area with poor ventilation or an
enclosed area, such as a
garage or a place where snow
has piled up, properly use an air
intake and exhaust device to
prevent lack of oxygen and full-
ness of exhaust gas. If such
device cannot be used, do not
use the power outlet.
■When using the power outlet
while driving
●Do not use devices such as the
following when driving. Also, do
not use a device if it cannot be
secured within the vehicle.
• Devices which may distract the driver and be a hinderance to
safe driving, such as a TV, DVD
player, etc.
• When the device is not com- pletely secured and may fall
over in the event of sudden
braking or a collision
• When the device may fall result- ing on an accident, or may gen-
erate heat result ing in a fire
• When there is a risk of burns,
etc. (a toaster, microwave, elec-
tric heater, electric kettle, coffee
maker, etc.)
• Devices which may fall under the pedals and prevent the
brake pedal from being
depressed, such as a hair dryer,
AC adaptor, mouse, etc.
●Do not use devices which pro-
duce steam while the windows
are closed. Doing so may cause
the windows to fog up, reducing
visibility and making it difficult to
drive safely. Also, the steam
may damage or negatively
affect other devices. If the
device must be used, stop the
vehicle and open the windows
before use.
NOTICE
■To avoid short circuit or mal-
function
Observe the following precau-
tions. Failure to do so may lead to
the power outlet not operating
correctly or damage to the vehicle
or a connected device.
●Do not set a toaster or other
device which generates heat
near the interior components or
on a seat. Heat may cause
these parts to melt or burn.
●Do not use devices which are
sensitive to vibration or heat in
the vehicle. These devices may
malfunction due to vibration
while driving or heat while the
vehicle is parked in the sun.
●When not using a power outlet,
make sure to close the cover. If
foreign matter or a liquid enters
the power outlet, it may cause a
malfunction or s hort circuit.
■Using the power outlet while
parked or stopped
●Water may le ak from the
exhaust pipe while the engine
running if the power outlet is
used for a long time. However,
this is not a malfunction.

NOTICE
●At extremely low temperatures,
water may freeze in the exhaust
pipe and make it difficult to start
the engine, or an odor may
come from the exhaust pipe. In
this case, stop using the power
outlet, and then drive the vehi-
cle for 15 to 30 minutes.
