WARNING
■When using the charging cable and CCID (Charging Circuit Interrupt-
ing Device)
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause an unexpected accident, resulting in death or
serious injury.
● Do not attempt to disassemble or repair the charging cable, charging con-
nector, plug or CCID (Charging Circuit Interrupting Device).
If a problem arises with the chargi ng cable or the CCID (Charging Circuit
Interrupting Device), stop charging immediately and contact any autho-
rized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
● Do not subject the charging cable, charging connector, plug or CCID
(Charging Circuit Interrupting Device) to strong force or impact.
● Do not apply excessive force to the charging cable by forcefully folding,
twisting, pulling or dragging the charging cable.
● Do not damage the charging cable with sharp objects.
● Do not fold the charging connector or plug or insert foreign objects into
them.
● Do not put the charging connector and plug into water.
● Do not bring the charging cable to a high-temperature item such as a heat-
ing device.
● Do not apply a load to the charging cable and plug-cord (such as wrapping
the charging cable around the CCID (Charging Circuit Interrupting Device)
and the charging connector).
● Do not use or leave the charging cable in situations where a load is applied
to the socket and the plug (such as when the CCID (Charging Circuit Inter-
rupting Device) is hanging in the air without contacting the ground).
● Mode 3 charging cable: Do not use outside the rated voltage (less than 277
V) or rated current (less than 20 A).

WARNING
■When charging
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause an unexpected accident, resulting in death or
serious injury.
● Connect to a power source suitable for charging. (P. 139)
● Before charging, check that the charging inlet does not have deformations,
damage, corrosion, dust or other foreign materials such as snow or ice
adhering to it. If anything is adhering to the inlet, be sure to completely
remove the material before connecting the charging connector.
● Mode 3 charging cable: Before inserting the charging plug into the char-
ger, make sure there is no dirt or dust on the terminal areas. If there is dirt
or dust on these areas, remove it completely before inserting the charging
plug.
● Do not let the terminals of the charging inlet get wet.
● Make sure that the charging cable, plug and socket are free of foreign mat-
ter and not deformed or damaged.
● Only use sockets where the plug can be securely inserted.
● Do not charge if the charging cable is coiled or bundled.
● Wrapping the charging cable while in-use is not recommended because
cable may overheat. Failure to rewrap charging cable when not in-use
could result in strangulation or tripping hazard.
● Do not touch the terminals of the charging connector and charging inlet
with a sharp metal objects (needles etc.) or hands, or short them with for-
eign objects.
● When charging outdoors, make sure to connect to a rain-tight socket for
outdoor use.
Ensure the rain-tight cover closes completely. If the rain-tight cover cannot
be closed, install a rain-tight cover that will close.
● If any heat, smoke, odors, noise or other abnormalities are noticed during
charging, stop charging immediately.
● Do not insert the plug if the socket is submerged in water or snow.
● When charging during rain or snow, do not pull out or insert the plug with
wet hands. Also, do not get the electrical socket and plug wet.
● Do not charge the vehicle during a lightning storm.
● Do not let the wheels on the charging cable, plug, charging connector and
CCID (Charging Circuit Interrupting Device).
● Firmly insert the plug into the socket.
● Do not use an extension cord and converting adaptor.
