742-1. Electric vehicle system
Owners Manual_USA_M42C01_en
■Charging the traction battery
Be sure to maintain the traction bat-
tery charge level suitable for your
driving needs.
If the traction battery fully dis-
charges, the vehicle cannot be
driven at all. When the battery
becomes low, charge it as soon as
possible.
■If the traction battery becomes
low
●If the traction battery becomes
low, the traction battery charge
warning light comes on or flashes
and a message will be displayed
on the multi-information display.
(  P.515)
●If the traction batte ry is completely
discharged, the EV system cannot
be started and dri ving will not be
possible. When the traction bat-
tery becomes low, charge it as
soon as possible.
■Sounds and vibrations specific
to an battery electric vehicle
Because there is no engine sound
or vibration, it is easy to mistake the
battery electric vehi cle for being off
when it is actually still running, as
indicated by the “READY” indicator
being illuminated. F or safety, make
sure to always shift the shift position
to P and apply the parking brake
when parked.
Before and after the EV system is
started, the following sounds and
vibrations may occur. However,
these sounds and/o r vibrations are
not signs of malfunctions:
●The brake system operation
sound may be heard from the
front of the vehicle when the
driver’s door is opened.
●Motor sounds may be heard from
the motor compartment or lug-
gage compartment.
●Electrical relay sounds may be
heard from the motor compart-
ment when the EV system starts or stops.
●Relay operating sounds such as a
snap or soft clank will be emitted
from the traction b
attery in the fol-
lowing situations:
• When the EV system is started or stopped
• When charging starts or com-
pletes
• When the vehicle is driven the first time after the traction battery has
been charged using DC charging
●Sounds may be heard due to
regenerative braking when the
brake pedal is depressed or as
the accelerator pedal is released.
●Cooling fan operating sounds
from the radiator.
●The operation sound of the air
conditioning system (air condition-
ing compressor, blower motor).
■Maintenance, repair, recycling,
and disposal
Contact your Toyota dealer regard-
ing maintenance, repair, recycling
and disposal. Do n ot dispose of the
vehicle yourself.
A sound which changes in
accordance with the driving
speed, will be played in order to
warn people nearby of the vehi-
cle’s approach. This sound may
be heard inside the vehicle. The
sound will stop when the vehicle
speed exceeds approximately
23 mph (37 km/h).
■Acoustic Vehicle Alerting Sys-
tem
In the following cases, the Acoustic
Vehicle Alerting System may be dif-
ficult for surrounding people to hear.
Acoustic Vehicle Alerting
System

782-1. Electric vehicle system
Owners Manual_USA_M42C01_en
WARNING
●Never try to open the service
plug access hole located under
the floor. The service plug is
used only when the vehicle is
being serviced and is subject to
high voltage.
■Road accident cautions
Observe the following precautions
to reduce the risk of death or seri-
ous injury:
●Stop the vehicle i n a safe place
to prevent subsequent acci-
dents. While depressing the
brake pedal, apply the parking
brake and shift the shift position
to P to stop the EV system.
Then, slowly release the brake
pedal.
●Do not touch the high voltage
parts, cables (orange) and con-
nectors.
●If electric wires are exposed
inside or outside your vehicle,
an electric shock may occur.
Never touch exposed electric
wires.
●Do not touch the traction battery
if liquid is leaking from or
adhered to it. If electrolyte
(Organic Carbonate-based
electrolyte) from the traction
battery comes into contact with
the eyes or skin, it could cause
blindness or skin wounds. In the
unlikely event that it comes into
contact with the eyes or skin,
wash it off immediately with a
large amount of water, and seek
immediate medical attention.
●If electrolyte is leaking from the
traction battery, do not
approach the vehicle.
Even in the unlikely event that
the traction battery has been
damaged, the internal construc-
tion of the batter y will prevent a
large amount of electrolyte from
leaking out. However, if electro-
lyte leaks, vapors will be emit-
ted. These vapors are an irritant
to skin and eyes and could
cause acute poisoning if
inhaled.
●Do not bring burning or high-
temperature items close to the
electrolyte. The electrolyte may
ignite and cause a fire.
●If a fire occurs in the battery
electric vehicle, leave the vehi-
cle as soon as possible. Never
use a fire extinguisher that is
not meant for electrical fires.
Using even a small amount of
water may be dangerous.

1032-2. Charging
Owners Manual_USA_M42C01_en

Electric Vehicle system
Before charging, always check
the following items.
 The parking brake is applied.
( P.243)
 The power switch is turned to
OFF. ( P.231)
 Lights such as the headlights,
emergency flashers and inte-
rior lights, etc. are turned off.
If these light switches are turned
on, then these features will con-
sume electricity, and charging time
will increase.
Before charging, make sure that
each part of the AC charging
cable is in good condition.
( P.92)
■During charging
●The charging starting time may
differ depending on the state of
the vehicle, but this does not indi-
cate a malfunction.
●During charging, sounds may be
heard from near the traction bat-
tery in accordance with the opera-
tion of the air conditioning system
or “Battery Cooler” ( P.99).
●During and after charging, the motor compartment and its sur-
rounding area in which the
onboard traction battery charger is
installed may get warm.
●The surface of the CCID
(Charging Circuit Interrupting
Device) may become hot, but this
does not indicate a malfunction.
●Depending on radio wave condi-
tions, interference may be heard
on the radio.
■When charging using a public
charging facility
●When charging using a public
charging facility, check the setting
of the charging schedule function.
• When the charging schedule is registered, temporarily turn off the
function or turn “ Charge Now” on.
(  P. 1 1 9 )
• When the charging schedule is set to on, charging will not start even
if the AC charging cable is con-
nected. Also, charging fee may
occur due to connection of the AC
charging cable.
■Capacity reduction of the trac-
tion battery
The capacity of the traction battery
will decline gradually when the trac-
tion battery is in use. The rate at
which it declines will differ in accor-
dance with environmental conditions
and the way in which the vehicle is
used. Observing the following can
help suppress the decline in the
traction battery capacity.
●Avoid parking the vehicle in high
temperature areas, under direct
sunlight when the traction battery
is fully charged.
●Avoid accelerating and decelerat-
ing frequently and suddenly.
●Avoid frequent d riving at high
speed.
●Use the charging schedule func-
tion as much as possible in order
to fully charged the traction bat-
tery before starting off. ( P. 1 1 8 )
NOTICE
●When charging with a charger,
follow the procedures for using
each charger.

WARNING
■Warnings for DC charging
Be sure to observe the following
when using DC charging.
Failure to do so may cause an
accident that could lead to death
or serious injury.
●Check that the DC charger and
DC charging inlet are not dam-
aged. If there is any damage to
the DC charging inlet, do not
perform a DC charge and have
it inspected immediately at your
Toyota dealer.
●Do not touch the terminals of
the DC charging connector or
inlet with metallic sharp tips
(wires and needles), or allow a
short circuit to occur with foreign
objects.
●Do not insert anything other
than the DC charging connector
into the DC charging inlet.
●Check that the DC charging
cable is not coiled up or pinned
underneath heavy objects.
●Be sure the DC charging inlet
makes direct contact with the
DC charging connector.
Do not connect conversion
adapters, extension cords, etc.,
between the DC charging con-
nector and DC ch arging inlet.
●When DC charging is inter-
rupted, follow the handling pro-
cedures of the DC charger.
Immediately stop the DC
charging when the re is an out-
break of heat, smoke, strange
noises or smells, etc., during
charging.
●Check that the DC charging
connector and DC charging inlet
do not have foreign objects or
snow or ice attached to it. If any-
thing is attached t o the inlet, be
sure to complete ly remove the
material before connecting the
DC charging connector.
●Do not charge the vehicle when
there is a possibility of lightning.
If you notice lightning while
charging the vehicle, do not
touch the vehicle and the DC
charging cable.
●Do not get the DC charging inlet
terminals wet.
●Close the hood when using DC
charging. The cooling fan may
suddenly start to run. Keep
hands and clothing (especially a
tie, a scarf or a muffler) away
from the fan. Fa ilure to do so
may cause the hands or cloth-
ing to be caught, resulting in
serious injury.
