■Charging electricity
This vehicle can be charged up to
approximately 7 kW.
However, depending on the used
charger or AC charging cable,
charging electrici ty may be limited.How to use AC
charging
This section explains the
procedure for charging the
traction battery with an AC
charging cable.
When using an AC charger,
make sure to check the
operation instructions of
the AC charger.
When the charging sched-
ule is registered, make sure
“Charge Now” is turned on
before charging. ( P.124,
128)
NOTICE
■When using the AC charging
cable and related parts
To prevent damage to the AC
charging cable and related parts,
observe the following precautions.
●When interrupting or canceling
charging, remove the charging
connector before removing the
plug.
●When removing the AC
charging cable, check that the
charging connector is unlocked.
●Do not forcefully pull the
charging connector cap and AC
charging inlet cap.
●Do not apply a vibration to the

■Protection function of AC
charging inlet overheating
By installing a temp erature sensor
to the AC charging inlet, prevents
parts from melting when the tem-
perature rises due to foreign matter
entering the charging connector. When a certain temperature
increase is detected, charging is
stopped immediately.
After this, when the power switch is
off, a message will be displayed on
the multi-information display
(
 P.140)
WARNING
■When charging
Observe the following precau-
tions.
Failure to do so may cause an
unexpected accident, resulting in
death or serious injury.
●Connect to a power source suit-
able for charging. ( P. 9 6 )
●Check that the AC charging
cable, plug and outlet are free of
foreign matter.
●Before charging, check that the
AC charging inlet is not
deformed, damaged or cor-
roded, and check that the inlet
is free of foreign matter such as
dirt, snow and ice.
If there is dirt or dust in these
areas, remove completely
before inserting the charging
connector.
●Do not get the te rminals of the
AC charging inlet wet.
●Only use outlets where the plug
can be securely inserted.
●Do not bundle or wind the AC
charging cable while charging,
as doing so may result in over-
heating.
●Do not touch the terminals of
the charging connector and AC
charging inlet with a sharp metal
objects (needles, etc.,) or

When leaving the plug inserted,
inspect the plug and connector
once a month to check if dirt or dust
has accumulated.
■When the outside temperature
is low or high
The level shown on the SOC (State
of Charge) gauge ( P.152) may
drop slightly when the power switch
is turned to ON, e ven if charging
has been completed and the trac-
tion battery is fully charged. How- ever, this does not indicate a
malfunction.
■When removing the charging
connector
Press the latch release button,
check that the lever raises up, and
then pull the charging connector
towards you.
If the lever does not raise up even
after the latch release button is
pressed, the charging connector is

cannot be hear d due to noise
occurrence during DC charging
●As the battery approaches full
charge, the charging speed will
decrease and it will take longer to
complete charging.
●The time to complete charging
may change, or charging may
stop before reaching the upper
limit of the charge capacity, due to
the remaining charge of the trac-
tion battery, the outside tempera-
ture, the specifications of the
charger (stand), etc.
●It is recommended to avoid fre-
quent DC charging to prevent a
decline in the traction battery
capacity.
●Quickly move from the DC
charging space for other users
after the DC charging is com-
pleted.
