■Charging indicator of the charging port
When a system malfunction occurs while charging or using the Remote Air
Conditioning System, the charging indicator rapidly flashes for a certain
period of time, and then turns off.
If this occurs, when a door is o pened with the power switch off , a message
is displayed on the multi-informa tion display. When a message is displayed,
follow the instructions d isplayed on the screen.

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 twist 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.105)
●After removing the AC charging
cable, promptly re turn it to its
proper location.

■When using the AC charging
cable and related parts
 P.121
■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.102)
Charging indicator ( P.102)
Error warning indicator (P.102)
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.103
■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 c heck, the error
warning indicator flashes to inform
the user. ( P.103)
■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.

Error warning indicator
Flashes when there is an electrical
leakage or when a malfunction
occurs in the CCI D (Charging Cir-
cuit Interrupting Device).
■When a malfunction occurs during charging
The indicators on the CCID (Charging Circuit Interrupting Devic e)
use a combination of different statuses (not illuminated, illum inated
or flashing) to inform the user of internal malfunctions.
When the error wa rning indicator is illuminated or flashing, te mporarily
remove the plug from the outlet and then reconnect it to check if the error
indicator turns off.
If the error warning indicator turns off, charging is now possi ble.
If it does not turn off, perform t he correction procedure in the following

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.
●The tip of the plug has not been
