Flashes when there is an electrical
leakage or when a malfunction
occurs in the CCI D (Charging Cir-
cuit Interrupting Device).
■When a malfunction occurs during charging
The indicators on the CCID (Charging Circuit Interrupting Devic e)
use a combination of different statuses (not illuminated, illum inated
or flashing) to inform the user of internal malfunctions.
When the error wa rning indicator is illuminated or flashing, te mporarily
remove the plug from the outlet and then reconnect it to check if the error
indicator turns off.
If the error warning indicator turns off, charging is now possi ble.
If it does not turn off, perform t he correction procedure in the following

WARNING
■Routine inspection
Check the following points regu-
larly.
Failure to do so may cause an
unexpected accident, resulting in
death or serious injury.
●The AC charging cable, plug,
charging connector, CCID
(Charging Circuit Interrupting
Device) etc. have not been
damaged.
●The outlet has not been dam-
aged.
●The plug can be securely
inserted into the outlet.
●The plug does not get extremely
hot during use.
●The tip of the plug has not been
deformed.

■Maintaining 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 seri-
ous injury.
■When not using the AC
charging cable for a long time
Remove the plug from the outlet.
Dust could accumulate on the
plug or in the outlet, possibly
causing overheating which could
lead to a fire.
Also, keep the ca ble in a place
free from moisture.

■Charging connector lock func-
tion
The charging connector lock func-
tion does not guarantee that theft of

Connect to an AC 120 V out-
let (NEMA 5-15R) with a
Ground-Fault Circuit-Inter-
rupter (GFCI) and a circuit
breaker. Use of a 15A individ-
ual circuit is strongly recom-
mended to ensure AC
charging cable will operate
properly.
 When charging outdoors,
make sure to connect to a
weatherproof outlet that is
certified for outdoor use.
Checking Ground-Fault Cir-
cuit-Interrupter (GFCI) opera-
tion before its use is
recommended.
WARNING
●Be careful not to touch the
charging port lid lock portion.
When the connector lock oper-
ates, the charging port lid lock
will also operate. The charging
port lid lock pin may hit a hand,
resulting in an injury.
NOTICE
■When locking the charging
connector
Observe the following precau-
tions. Failure to do so may cause
a malfunction in the charging con-
nector locking system.
●Check that the charging con-
nector is compatible with this
vehicle.
A charging connector of the dif-
ferent type or a charging con-
nector with damaged or
deformed insertion part may not
be locked.
●Do not apply excessive force to
the charging connector when
the charging connector is
locked.
When removing the charging
connector, make sure to unlock
the charging connector.
Power sources that
can be used
An external power source
that fulfills the following cri-
teria is necessary for
charging this vehicle. Con-
firm this before charging.
WARNING
■Warnings for electrical faults
Make sure to observe the precau-
tions in this Owner’s Manual when
charging the vehicle.

only to an at least 15A branch cir-
cuit with an over- current protec-
tion in accordance with the
National Electric Code,
ANSI/NFPA 70.
• To reduce the risk of electric
shock when working with the plug,
connect to a outlet with a Ground-
Fault Circuit-Interrupter (GFCI) or
that has an Earth Leakage Circuit
Breaker installed.
