●Avoid frequent DC charging
Also, if the capacit y of the traction
battery capacity reduces, the dis-
tance that can be driven decreases.
However, vehicle performance does
not significantly become worse.
■When the remaining charge of
the traction battery is low after
charging
In the following situations, the
remaining charge of the traction bat-
tery after charging completes may
be less than normal in order to pro-
tect the traction bat tery (the driving
range after the battery is fully
charged may be shorter).
*
●Charging is perf ormed when the
outside temperature is low or high
●Charging is perf ormed immedi-
ately after high-l oad driving or in
extreme heat
In any other situati on, if the remain-
ing charge of the traction battery is
significantly lower than normal after
charging completes, have the vehi-
cle inspected by your Toyota dealer.
*: When this occurs, even if the remaining charge display of the
traction battery shows that it is
fully charged, the remaining
charge rapidly decreases faster
than normal.
■When the charging amount sent
to the traction battery
decreases
When the amount of power supplied
by the charger is low or operation of
the battery heater, etc., reduces the
charging power sent to the traction
battery, the charging amount sent to
the traction battery may decrease.
■Certification
This device complies with Part 15 of
the FCC Rules. Operation is subject
to the following two conditions:
(1) this device may not cause harm- ful interference, and (2) this device
must accept any interference
received, including interference that
may cause undesired operation.
■Charging time may increase
In the following situ ations, charging
time may become longer than nor-
mal:
●In very hot or very cold tempera-
tures.
●When the traction battery
becomes hot, such as immedi-
ately after high-load driving.
●The vehicle is consuming a lot of
electricity, for e xample, when the
headlights are on, etc.
●When using “My Room Mode”.
( P.129)
●There is a power outage during
charging.
●There is an interruption in the
electrical supply.
●There is a drop in the voltage of
external power source.
●The charge in the 12-volt battery
is low, for example due to the
vehicle being left unused for a
long period of time.
●When the upper limit of charging
current is changed in the charging
current setting of the vehicle
( P.108)
●When the battery heater operates.
( P. 9 9 )
●When the “Battery Cooler” is oper-
ated before charging. ( P. 9 9 )
●When the plug generates heat
due to a loose outlet connection,
etc.
●When adjusting the power supply
with the charger.
●When frequently and repeatedly
using DC charging.
●When selecting “DC charging
power” setting other than “MAX”.
●When the temperature of
charging-related parts is high.

Open the AC charging inlet
cap, and then open the DC
charging inlet cap.
3 Insert DC charging connector
firmly and fully into the
charging inlet
Insert the DC charging connector
and it will lock automatically.
The DC charging connector shape
and treatment will differ depending
on the type of DC charger. Perform
the operations in accordance to
handling procedures of the DC
charger.
4Operate the DC charger and
start the charging.
Follow the handling procedures of
the DC charger to start charging.
Charging starts after a system
check is done.
5 Confirm that the charging
indicator on the charging port
lights up.
When the charging indicator is not
lit, charging has not started.
Stop the charging in accordance to
the handling procedures of the DC
charger when it is desired to inter-
rupt the DC charging.
■Charging time may increase

■When the DC charging connec-
tor cannot be inserted into the

■If a message indicating vehicle
error on the DC charger side is
displayed
Even if a message indicating vehicle
error on the DC charger side (ex.
vehicle error found, vehicle error
occurred, etc.) is displayed, there is
no vehicle fault but possibly a com-
munication error between the DC
charger and vehicle. In this case,
there may be terminal damage (bad
contact) in the DC charging connec-
tor. If there is no er ror with the vehi-
cle, contact the fa cility manager of
the DC charger.
■During DC charging
●The current charging condition
can be checked on the multi-infor-
mation display.
●The actual charging time may dif-
fer from that dis played on the DC
charger during charging.
●There may be occasions the radio

The AC charger is not com-
patible with the vehicle
Check if it is possible to charge with the AC
charging cable equipped with the vehicle.
If charging cannot be carried out even when
using the genuine AC charging cable, contact
your Toyota dealer.
The DC charger is malfunc-
tioning.If the message above is displayed when DC
charging has not stopp ed operations, the DC
charger may be damaged, so do not use that
DC charger. Check if it is possible to charge
with another DC charger.
The DC charger is not com-
patible with the vehicle.

Likely causeCorrection procedure
Power is being consumed by electri-
cal components of vehicle
Check the following items, and then
carry out charging again.
• If the headlights and audio are turned on, tur n them off.
• Turn the power switch off.
If charging cannot be carried out,
even after performing the above, the
12-volt battery may not be suffi-
ciently charged. Operate the EV sys-
tem and wait for approximately 15
minutes or more to charge the
12-volt battery.

Likely causeCorrection procedure
The traction battery warming control
is operated ( P. 9 9 )
When the traction battery warming
control operates, the charging
schedule is not used and charging is
performed.
This is a control to protect the trac-
tion battery, and not a malfunction.
Likely causeCorrection procedure
System check is not completed prop-
erly after DC charging.
The EV system can not be started
until the system check is completed
properly. Perform a system check
following the procedures on P.115.
Likely causeCorrection procedure
The DC charging is not completed
within the restric ted time with DC
charger.
• Depending on the type of DC char- ger, the timer may be set to stop
charging after a certain time.
Check with the charging station
manager.
Depending on the condition of the
vehicle, the charging time may
become longer than normal, and the
DC charging may not be completed
within the restricted time.
• When the A/C, headlights, audio system, etc., are turned on, the
electricity consum ption of the vehi-
cle will be increas ed. Perform the
DC charging after turning off all of
the above.
• The temperature of the traction battery may be low. Perform the
DC charging after warming up the
traction battery.
