WARNING
●Check that the AC charging
cable, plug and outlet are free of
foreign matter.
●Before charging, check that the
AC charging inlet is not
deformed, damaged or cor-
roded, and check that the inlet
is free of foreign matter such as
dirt, snow and ice.
If there is dirt or dust in these
areas, remove completely
before inserting the charging
connector.
●Do not get the terminals of the
AC charging inlet wet.
●Only use outlets where the plug
can be securely inserted.
●Do not bundle or wind the AC
charging cable while charging,
as doing so may result in over-
heating.
●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 weather-
proof outlet for outdoor use.
Ensure the weatherproof outlet
cover closes completely. If the
weatherproof outlet cover can-
not be closed, install a weather-
proof outlet cover that will close.
●In order to stop charging at the
charging station, follow the
instructions 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 out-
let is submerge d in water or
snow.
●When charging while it is raining
or snowing, do not connect or
disconnect 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.
●Do not let the wheels on the AC
charging cable, plug, charging
connector and CCID (Charging
Circuit Interru pting Device).
●Firmly insert the plug into the
outlet.
●Do not use an extension cord
and converting adaptor.
●Close the hood before using the
charging system. The cooling
fan may start operating sud-
denly. Touching or getting close
to rotating parts such as the fan
may cause your hands or
clothes (especially a necktie or
scarf) to becom e caught and
result in a serious injury.
●After connecting the charging
cable, confirm that it is not
wound around anything.
●If the power indicator on the
CCID (Charging Circuit Inter-
rupting Device) does not illumi-
nate after plugging the AC
charging cable into the socket-
outlet, unplug it immediately.

●When the remaining charge of the
hybrid battery (traction battery)
reaches the lower limit, the air
conditioning system automatically
turns off.
In this situation, the air condition-
ing 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 lim-
ited due to the air conditioning
system operation being restricted.
●Warning lights and indicators such
as electric power steering system
warning light (ye llow) and mal-
function indicator lamp may turn
on, but this is not a malfunction.
Also, when the headlight switch is
in the AUTO position and the sur-
rounding area is dark, the head-
lights are turned on. ( P.321)
■When a charging schedule is
registered
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 (trac-
tion battery) is fully charged
When the power switch is turned on
while the hybrid battery (traction
battery) is fully charged and the
charging connector that supplies
power is connected, “Charging Port
Lid is Open” is displayed on the
multi-information display. In this
case, press on the meter control
switches to display the setting
screen of “My Room Mode”, and
then select “My Room Mode”.
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-informat ion display while
using or attempting to start “My
Room Mode”, take the following cor-
rection procedures.
●“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 char ge of the hybrid
battery (traction battery) increases,
then start “My Room Mode”.
●““My Room Mode” has stopped
due to low traction battery”
The remaining char ge in the hybrid
battery (traction battery) is insuffi-
cient.
Stop using “My Room Mode” and
charge the hybrid battery (traction
battery).
●““My Room Mode” will stop when
traction battery is too low Reduce
power usage to continue using
“My Room Mode””
The power consumption inside the
vehicle 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 sys-
tems such as the air conditioning
