Plug-in hybrid system
To prevent electrical shock, be sure
to remove by following the proce-
dures below.
1 Unlock the doors to unlock the
charging connector. ( P.122)
The charging connector will be
unlocked and the AC charging inlet light will illuminate when the doors are unlocked.
NOTICE
■When charging
Do not insert the plug into the AC
charging inlet.
The AC charging inlet may be dam- aged.
■Using private power generator
Do not use private power generators
as a power source for charging.
Doing so may make charging unsta- ble, the voltage may be insufficient,
and the error warning indicator on the CCID (Charging Circuit Interrupting Device) of the AC charging cable may
flash.
■Usable temperature range
●Do not charge if the outside tem- perature is -30°C (-22°F) or below, as it is likely that charging will take
longer.
●Do not leave the vehicle or the
charging cable in areas where the outside temperature is lower than -40°C (-40°F).
■Charging station
Due to the environment in which the
power equipment is located, charging may be unstable due to noise, the voltage may be insufficient, and the
error warning indicator on the CCID (Charging Circuit Interrupting Device) of the AC charging cable may flash.
■Onboard traction battery char-ger cooling air intake vent
Cooling air intake vent for the
onboard traction battery charger is installed under the rear seats.
Make sure to observe the following
precautions regarding the cooling air intake vent. Failure to observe these precautions may result in a charging
system malfunction.
●Do not block the air intake vent with
seat covers or luggage
●If the air intake vent is clogged with dust, clean it with a vacuum cleaner
●Do not allow water or foreign matter to enter the air intake vent
●Do not spill large amounts of water
near the air intake vent If water is spilled, have the vehicle inspected by any authorized Toyota
retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer and do not charge the hybrid bat-
tery (traction battery) before the inspection.

■When the outside temperature is low or high
The level shown on the SOC (State of Charge) gauge ( P.187, 193) may drop slightly when the power switch is turned
to ON, even if charging has been com- pleted and the hybrid battery (traction battery) is fully charged. However, this
does not indicate a malfunction.
■When removing the charging con- nector
Unlock the doors using the smart entry
& start system or wireless remote con- trol to unlock the charging connector, check that the lock is released, and then
pull the charging connector towards you. ( P.121)
■If the charging connector cannot be unlocked
 P.123
WARNING
■After charging
Remove the plug if it will not be used for a long time.
Dirt and dust may accumulate plug or
socket, which could cause a malfunc- tion or fire, possibly leading to death or serious injury.
NOTICE
■After charging
●Store the AC charging cable out of
reach from infants and children.
●After disconnecting the charging
connector from the AC charging inlet, make sure to put on the AC charging inlet cap and close the
charging port lid. If the AC charging inlet cap is not put on, water or for-eign objects may enter the AC
charging inlet, which could lead to vehicle damage.
●After removing the plug from the socket, keep it in a safe place free from moisture and dust. The AC
charging cable or plug may be dam- aged if the cable is stepped on or ridden over by the vehicle.

Charging status
When the electricity supply from the AC
charging cable is larger than the power
consumption inside the vehicle,
becomes larger. When the power con-
sumption is larger than the electricity
supply, becomes larger.
When the electricity supply and con-
sumption are balanced (when the
power balance is judged to be zero),
and are displayed as the same
size.
■When a door is unlocked while
using “My Room Mode”
The charging connector unlocks,
charging stops and “My Room Mode”
stops. In order to use “My Room Mode”
again, reconnect the AC charging cable
and start “My Room Mode” (P.164).
When using “My Room Mode” with pub-lic charging station, operation to start
charging using the charger may be
required again before starting “My Room
Mode”.
■Meter display during charging
If “My Room Mode” is not turned on for
approximately 100 seconds after the
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.
(P.326)
■When a charging schedule is regis-
tered
When “My Room Mode” starts while the
charging schedule is on standby,
charging schedules are ignored and
charging starts.
■When “My Room Mode” is used
while the hybrid battery (traction
battery) is fully charged
When the power switch is turned on
while the hybrid battery (traction battery)
is fully charged and the charging con-
