Plug-in hybrid system
■Charging at a public charging sta-
tion with authentication function
When a door is unlocked during charging, the charging connector is
unlocked and charging will be stopped. In this case, the charging station authentication is canceled and charging
may not be able to restart. Reconnect the charging connector and perform authentication for the charging station.
■Protection function of AC charging
inlet overheating (vehicles with 7 kW onboard traction battery char-ger)
By installing a temperature sensor to the AC charging inlet, prevents parts from melting when the temperature rises due
to foreign matter entering the charging connector. When a certain temperature increase is detected, charging is
stopped immediately and a message is displayed on the multi-information dis-play. After the temperature has
decreased, charging resumes by per- forming the operation to start charging again.
WARNING
■When charging
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may cause an unex-
pected accident, resulting in death or serious injury.
●Connect to a power source suitable
for charging. ( P.124)
●Check that the AC charging cable,
plug and socket are free of foreign matter.
●Before charging, check that the AC charging inlet is not deformed, damaged or corroded, and check
that the inlet is free of foreign mat- ter such as dirt, snow and ice. If there is dirt or dust in these areas,
remove completely before inserting the charging connector.
●Before inserting the charging plug into the charger, make sure there is no dirt or dust on the terminal
areas. If there is dirt or dust in these areas, remove completely before inserting the charging plug.
●Do not get the terminals of the AC charging inlet wet.
●Only use sockets where the plug can be securely inserted.
●Do not bundle or wind the AC charging cable while charging, as
doing so may result in overheating.
●Do not touch the terminals of the
charging connector and AC charging inlet with a sharp metal objects (needles etc.) or hands, or
short them with foreign 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.
●In order to stop charging at the charging station, follow the instruc-
tions of the charger.
●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 while it is raining or snowing, do not connect or discon-
nect the plug if your hands are wet. Also, do not get the plug or outlet wet.
●Do not charge the vehicle during a lightning storm.
●Prevent the AC charging cable from being caught in the door or back
door.

1402-2. Charging
WARNING
●Do not let the wheels on the AC charging cable, plug, charging con-
nector and CCID (Charging Circuit Interrupting Device).
●Firmly insert the plug into the socket.
●Do not use an extension cord and converting adaptor.
●Close the hood before using the charging system.The cooling fan may start operating
suddenly. Touching or getting close to rotating parts such as the fan may cause your hands or clothes
(especially a necktie or scarf) to become caught and result in a seri-ous injury.
●After connecting the charging cable, confirm that it is not wound
around anything.
●If the power indicator on the CCID
(Charging Circuit Interrupting Device) does not illuminate after plugging the AC charging cable into
the socket-outlet, unplug it immedi- ately.
■If the error warning indicator on the CCID (Charging Circuit Inter-rupting Device) illuminates or
flashes during charging
There may be an electrical leakage in the power source path, or there may
be a malfunction in the AC charging cable or CCID (Charging Circuit Inter-rupting Device). Refer to P.113 and
follow the correction procedure. If the error warning indicator does not turn off even after performing the correc-
tion procedure, immediately stop charging, remove the AC charging cable and contact any authorized
Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer. Con-tinuing to charge the vehicle in that
condition may lead to unforeseen accidents or serious injury.
■Onboard traction battery charger
The onboard traction battery charger is located under the rear seats. Make
sure to observe the following precau- tions regarding the onboard traction battery charger. Failure to observe
these precautions may result in death or serious injury such as burns and electric shocks.
●The onboard traction battery char-ger is hot during charging. Do not touch the onboard traction battery
charger, as doing so may result in burns.
●Do not disassemble, repair or mod-ify the onboard traction battery charger. When the onboard traction
battery charger needs to be repaired, consult any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized
repairer, or any reliable repairer.

power switch is turned on during
charging, the power switch will automat-
ically turn off.
■While using “My Room Mode”
Any of the following may occur.
●When the remaining charge of the
hybrid battery (traction battery)
reaches the lower limit, the air condi-
tioning system automatically turns off.
In this situation, the air conditioning
system cannot be used until the
remaining charge of the hybrid battery
(traction battery) increases. Turn the
power switch off and use “My Room
Mode” after the remaining charge of
the hybrid battery (traction battery) is
restored.
●When the outside temperature is low,
the heater output may be limited due
to the air conditioning system opera-
tion being restricted.
●Warning lights and indicators such as
electric power steering system warn-
ing light (yellow) and malfunction indi-
cator lamp may turn on, but this is not
a malfunction.
Also, when the surrounding area is
dark, the headlights are turned on.

case, press of the meter control
switches to display the setting screen of
“My Room Mode”, and then select “My

When “My Room Mode” is used while the hybrid battery (traction battery) is
fully charged, the electric power of the hybrid battery (traction battery) may be
consumed. In this case, charging may be performed again.
■When a message related to “My Room Mode” is displayed
When a message is displayed on the multi-information display while using or attempting to start “My Room Mode”,
take the following correction proce- dures.
●“Traction battery is too low for “My Room Mode””
There is insufficient remaining charge in
the hybrid battery (traction battery) for
starting “My Room Mode”.
Wait until the charge of the hybrid bat-
tery (traction battery) increases, then
start “My Room Mode”.
●““My Room Mode” has stopped due to low traction battery”
The remaining charge in the hybrid bat-
tery (traction battery) is insufficient.
Stop using “My Room Mode” and
charge the hybrid battery (traction bat-
tery).
●““My Room Mode” will stop when trac- tion battery is too low Reduce power usage to continue using “My Room
Mode””
The power consumption inside the vehi-
cle is greater than the power being
charged to the hybrid battery (traction
battery), and the remaining charge of
the hybrid battery (traction battery) is
low.*
• “My Room Mode” will end unless the
power consumption inside the vehicle is improved.• To continue using “My Room Mode”,
turn off the power of systems such as the air conditioning system and audio system to increase the remaining
charge of the hybrid battery (traction battery).*: The power balance status during “My
Room Mode” can be checked from the
remaining charge display screen for
the hybrid battery (traction battery)
displayed on the multi-information dis-
play. ( P.164)
WARNING
■Cautions for using “My Room
Mode”
Make sure to observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in serious health problems or even death.
●Do not leave children, people who need assistance, or pets inside the vehicle. The system may turn off
automatically and the interior tem- perature may become high or low, resulting in heat stroke, dehydration
or hypothermia. Devices such as the wipers can also be used, which may lead to mistaken operation and
an accident.
●Check the safety around the vehicle
carefully before use.
