AC charging cable
The function, correct oper-
ating procedure, etc. of the
AC charging cable are
explained.
WARNING
■When using the AC charging
cable and CCID (Charging
Circuit Interrupting Device)
Observe the following precau-
tions.
Failure to do so may cause an
unexpected accident, resulting in
death or serious injury.
●Do not attempt to disassemble
or repair the AC charging cable,
charging connector, plug or
CCID (Charging Circuit Inter-
rupting Device).
If a problem arises with the AC
charging cable or the CCID
(Charging Circuit Interrupting
Device), stop charging immedi-
ately and contact your Toyota
dealer.
●Do not subject the AC charging
cable, charging connector, plug
or CCID (Charging Circuit Inter-
rupting Device) to strong force
or impact.
●Do not apply excessive force to
the AC charging cable by force-
fully folding, twisting, pulling or
dragging the AC charging cable.
●Do not damage the AC charging
cable with sharp objects.
●Do not fold the charging con-
nector or plug or insert foreign
objects into them.
●Do not put the charging connec-
tor and plug into water.
●Do not bring the AC charging
cable to a high-temperature
item such as a heating device.
●Do not apply a load to the AC
charging cable and plug-cord
(such as wrapping the AC
charging cable around the CCID
(Charging Circuit Interrupting
Device) and the charging con-
nector).
●Do not use or leave the AC
charging cable in situations
where a load is applied to the
outlet and the plug (such as
when the CCID (Charging Cir-
cuit Interrupting Device) is
hanging in the air without con-
tacting the ground).
NOTICE
■Precautions when handling
AC charging cable
Make sure to observe the follow-
ing precautions. Failure to
observe these precautions may
result in damage to the AC
charging cable and AC charging
inlet.
●Insert the charging connector
straight into the AC charging
inlet.
●After inserting the charging con-
nector, do not apply excessive
force to or twis t the connector.
Also, do not lean on the connec-
tor or hang any objects from it.
●Do not step on or trip over the
AC charging cable.
●Before removing the charging
connector, make sure that it is
unlocked. ( P.102)
●After removing the AC charging
cable, promptly return it to its
proper location.

■When using the AC charging
cable and related parts
 P.116
■Precautions for low tempera-
tures
In low temperatures, the AC
charging cable and plug-cord may
become hard.
Therefore, make sure to not apply
excessive force when they are
hard. If excessive force is applied
to the hardened AC charging
cable and plug-cord, they may be
damaged.

CCID (Charging Circuit Interrupting Device)
Power indicator (P.99)
Charging indicator ( P.99)
Error warning indicator ( P.99)
The CCID (Charging Circuit
Interrupting Device) has the fol-
lowing safety features.
■Electrical leakage detec-
tion function
If an electrical leakage is
detected during charging, the
power source will be automati-
cally interrupted, thus prevent-
ing fires or electrical shocks
caused by electrical leakage.
If the power source is interrupted,
the error warning indicator flashes.
If the power source is interrupted:
 P.100
■Automatic check function
This is an automatic system
check that is run before
charging begins to check for
problems in the operation of the
electrical leakage detection
function.
If a malfunction is found in the elec-
trical leakage detection function as
a result of the check, the error
warning indicator flashes to inform
the user. ( P.100)
■Temperature detection
function
A temperature detection func-
tion is equipped to the plug.
While charging, if heat is gener-
ated due to looseness on the
outlet side etc., this function
suppresses heat by controlling
the charging current.
■Conditions for supplying
current to the vehicle
The CCID (Charging Circuit
Interrupting Device) is designed
to prevent electrical current from
being supplied to the charging
connector when it is not con-
nected to the vehicle, even if the
plug is inserted into the outlet.
■Indicator operation
3 indicators are used to indicate
the following conditions.

■When a malfunction occurs during charging
The indicators on the CCID (Chargi ng Circuit Interrupting Device)
use a combination of different statuses (not illuminated, illuminated
or flashing) to inform the user of internal malfunctions.
When the error warning indicator is illuminated or flashing, temporarily
remove the plug from the outlet and th en reconnect it to check if the error
indicator turns off.
If the error warning indicator turns off, charging is now possible.
If it does not turn off, perform the 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.

■Locking the charging con-
nector
The charging connector will be
automatically locked when
inserting it into the AC charging
inlet.
(The setting can be changed:
 P.103)
■Unlocking the charging
connector
The AC charging connector will
be unlocked when the doors are
unlocked using the smart key
system or wireless remote con-
trol.
The AC charging connector
locks when connected and
unlocks when the door is
unlocked, so locking/unlocking
the AC charging connector does
not necessarily correspond to
locking/unlocking the door.
WARNING
●The plug is not dirtied by dust
etc.
Remove the plug from the outlet
before inspecting it. If any abnor-
malities are found in the AC
charging cable as a result of the
inspection, immediately stop use
and consult your Toyota dealer.
■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 cable in a place
free from moisture.
Locking an d unlock-
ing AC char ging con-
nector
The AC charging connector
will be locked when it is
connected to the AC
charging inlet, preventing
the AC charging cable from

■AC charging connector lock
function
●If the AC charging connector is
locked/unlocked repeatedly, it
may not work temporary due to
protect the system by AC charging
system. In this case, wait for a
while before co nnecting the AC
charging connector to AC
charging inlet again.
●The AC charging connector lock
function does not guarantee that
theft of the AC charging cable will
be prevented, and is not neces-
sarily effective for all mischiefs.
■Security function for unlocking
If the AC charging connector is not
removed within approximately 30
seconds after the vehicle is
unlocked, the security function auto-
matically locks the connector again.
■When the AC charging connec-
tor cannot be inserted into the
AC charging inlet
Check that the connector lock pin is
not lowered.
If the connector lock pin is
extended, the connector lock is
operating. Unlock the doors using
the smart key system or wireless remote control and unlock the AC
charging connector lock and check
that the connector
lock pin is not
lowered.
■If the AC charging connector
cannot be unlocked
The AC charging connector can be
unlocked by operating the emer-
gency release lever.
1 Open the back door. ( P.193,
194)
2 Remove the cover inside the lug-
gage compartment as shown in
the illustration.
3 Move the emergency release
lever in the direction shown in
the illustration.
*
The charging connector is unlocked
and can be removed.
*: Move the emergency release
lever only in the direction shown in
the illustration. Even if a click
sound is heard after beginning
operation, do not stop pulling the
emergency release lever until it
cannot be moved. If the emer-
gency release lever is moved in
any other direction, it may be
damaged.
