■AC charging cable types
The following charging modes are categorized according to the availability of a
charging control device, which detects malfunctions such as electrical leakages, and its location (whether it is attached to the charger or AC charging cable). The type of AC charging cable that can be used differs according to the charging mode
Charging modeOutline
Mode 1
A charging method which does not use charging control to
detect electrical leakages between an external power source
and the vehicle. Does not apply to this vehicle.

■Identification label
Identification labels are attached to the vehicle, AC charging cable and charger to
inform the user of which device they should use.
The meaning of the each identification label is as follows:
Mode 2
A charging method which connects the vehicle to an external
power source through a AC charging cable equipped with a
CCID (Charging Circuit Interrupting Device).
Applies to charging through most household sockets.
Mode 3
A charging method which charges from a charger (such as at a
public charging station) equipped with charging control to
detect electrical leakages. Control to detect electrical leakages
is implemented on the charger side. Therefore, a CCID
(Charging Circuit Interrupting Device) is not equipped to the AC
charging cable.
Not all chargers are equipped with AC charging cables. If there
is no AC charging cable available, use the Mode 3 AC charging
cable equipped to this vehicle. (if equipped)

2-2. Charging
Plug-in hybrid system
This product must be grounded. In
case of malfunction or break down,
grounding provides a path of least
resistance for electric current to
reduce the risk of electric shock.
This product is equipped with a
grounding conductor and a ground-
ing plug. The grounding plug must
be plugged into an appropriate
socket that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all
local codes and ordinances.
The CCID (Charging Circuit Inter-
rupting Device) has the following
safety features.
■Electrical leakage detection
function
If an electrical leakage is detected
during charging, the power source
will be automatically interrupted,
thus preventing fires or electrical
shocks caused by electrical leak-
age.
If the power source is interrupted, the
error warning indicator flashes.
If the power source is interrupted:
 P.114
■Automatic check function
This is an automatic system check
that is run before charging begins
to check for problems in the opera-
tion of the electrical leakage detec-
tion function.
If a malfunction is found in the electrical
leakage detection function as a result of
the check, the error warning indicator
flashes to inform the user. ( P.114)
■Temperature detection func-
tion
A temperature detection function is
equipped to the plug. While
charging, if heat is generated due
to looseness on the socket side
etc., this function suppresses heat
by controlling the charging current.
■Conditions for supplying cur-
rent to the vehicle
The CCID (Charging Circuit Inter-
rupting Device) is designed to pre-
vent electrical current from being
supplied to the charging connector
when it is not connected to the
vehicle, even if the plug is inserted
into the socket.
Grounding (Mode 2 AC
charging cable)
WARNING
■Grounding precautions
●Improper connection of the ground-
ing conductor increases the risk of electric shock.Check with a qualified electrician or
serviceman if you are in doubt as to whether the product is properly grounded.
●Do not modify the grounding plug provided with the product. If it does
not fit the socket, have a proper socket installed by a qualified elec-trician.
Safety functions (Mode 2 AC
charging cable)

1142-2. Charging
■Indicator operation
3 indicators are used to indicate the
following conditions.Power indicator
Illuminates when electricity is flowing to
the CCID (Charging Circuit Interrupting
Device).
Charging indicator
Illuminates when charging is in prog-
ress.
Error warning indicator
Flashes when there is an electrical
leakage or when a malfunction occurs
in the CCID (Charging Circuit Interrupt-
ing Device).
■When a malfunction occurs during charging
The indicators on the CCID (Charging 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 socket and then 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 chart.

(if equipped)

1162-2. Charging
1Prepare the AC charging cable
( P.110) and the replacement
plug-cord.
2 Pull out the release key.
Make sure that the pulled out release key is not lost.
3 Remove the plug-cord connec-
tor cap.
4 Insert the release key into the
release slot of the CCID
(Charging Circuit Interrupting
Device).
Insert the release key in the direction
shown in the illustration.
5 With the release key fully
inserted into the release slot of
the CCID (Charging Circuit
Interrupting Device), turn the
plug-cord connector nut of the
plug-cord to remove the cord.
After the plug-cord is removed, remove the release key.
Do not leave the vehicle alone with the plug-cord removed. If the plug-cord is not installed, water or other foreign
matter may enter the CCID (Charging Circuit Interrupting Device), resulting in a malfunction.
6 Align the protrusion of the CCID
(Charging Circuit Interrupting
Device), with the groove of the
plug-cord, insert the plug-cord
into the CCID (Charging Circuit
Interrupting Device), and then
turn the plug-cord connector nut
of the plug-cord to install it.

Make sure that there are no foreign
objects attached to the connection before installing the plug-cord. Remove any foreign objects if they are attached.
Otherwise, water or other foreign mat- ter may enter the CCID (Charging Cir-cuit Interrupting Device), resulting in a
malfunction.
Turn the plug-cord connector nut of the plug-cord in the opposite direction of
removal until a click sound is heard and the plug-cord is secured.
7 Install the plug-cord connector
cap and release key to the plug-
cord that has been removed.
Securely install the release key to the plug-cord connector cap to prevent it
from being lost. Also, make sure that the release key does not fall out of the plug-cord connector cap accidentally.
Store the plug-cord in a safe, clean and dry place.
For safety, inspect the AC charging
cable on a routine basis.
WARNING
■When replacing the plug-cord (if
equipped)
Check the following points regularly.
Failure to do so may cause an unex-
pected accident, resulting in death or serious injury.
●Do not replace the plug-cord with wet hands.Also, do not replace in a place that
is rainy or wet.
●Do not replace the plug-cord when
the plug and/or charging connector are connected.
●Check whether there are any local EV-charging regulations in place, and adhere to them.
●Do not leave the CCID (Charging Circuit Interrupting Device) with the
plug-cord removed.
●Make sure that there are no foreign
objects attached to the connection when installing the plug-cord to the CCID (Charging Circuit Interrupting
Device).
●When replacing the plug-cord,
firmly turn the nut of the plug-cord until a click sound can be heard.
●Do not replace the plug cord in Nor-way.
NOTICE
■Precautions for the plug-cord (if
equipped)
Do not use the plug-cord for any use other than charging this vehicle.
Doing so may cause the plug-cord to be damaged.

WARNING
■Routine inspection
Check the following points regularly.
Failure to do so may cause an unex- pected accident, resulting in death or serious injury.
●The AC charging cable, plug, charging connector, CCID (Charging Circuit Interrupting
Device) etc. have not been dam- aged.
●The socket has not been damaged.
●The plug can be securely inserted
into the socket.
●The plug does not get extremely hot
during use.
●The tip of the plug has not been
deformed.
●The plug is not dirtied by dust etc.
Remove the plug from the socket
before inspecting it. If any abnormali-
ties are found in the AC charging
cable as a result of the inspection,
immediately stop use and consult any
authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota
authorized repairer, or any reliable
repairer.
■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 serious injury.
■When not using the AC charging cable for a long time
Remove the plug from the socket.
Dust could accumulate on the plug or in the socket, possibly causing over-heating which could lead to a fire.
Also, keep the cable in a place free from moisture.
