affects electrical and fuel effi-
ciency. Remove any exterior
accessories such as a roof lug-
gage carrier when they are not
being used.
The running resistance of snow
tires is high and they will worsen
electrical and fuel efficiency.
Replace them with standard
tires as soon as they are no lon-
ger needed.
■Know your vehicle’s electri-
cal and fuel efficiency
If you know your vehicle’s daily
electrical and fuel efficiency, you
will understand the benefits of
Eco drive.
Use the Power Consump-
tion/Fuel Economy, ECO Accel-
erator Guidance/“Eco Score”
and other data displayed on the
multi-information display.
The following indicate that
charging has been carried out
properly.
 The charging indicator of the
charging port turns off
 “Charging Complete” is dis-
played on the multi-informa-
tion display when a door is
opened with the power switch
off ( P.112)
Regardless of the type of power
source or whether the charging schedule function is used,
charging is completed if the
above can be confirmed.

■Close
Move the charging port lid to the
slightly open position and then
press the rear edge (the position
shown in the illustration) to close
it.
■Lid lifter
The charging port lid is not closed if
the lid lifter is pushed in before clos-
ing the charging port lid. In that
case, push again with the door
unlocked and release the lid lifter,
and close the charging port lid
again.
■Charging port lid open/close
detection switch
When the charging port lid is open,
be careful not to touch the charging
port lid open/close detection switch
(position shown in the illustration). If
you accidentally touch the switch,
the vehicle may incorrectly indicate
that the opened/closed status of the
charging port lid, or the charging
connector may not be able to
lock/unlock normally.

962-2. Charging
The illumination/flashing pattern changes to inform the user of the
charging status in the following ways.
*1: The indicator is dimmed when the charging is done
*2: Flashes for a certain period of time, and then turns off.

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.

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
