2-2. Charging

WARNING

●After removing the charging

connector, securely install the

AC charging inlet cap.

●Do not bring the AC charging

cable to a high-temperature

item such as a heating device.

■When using the AC charging

cable and related parts

●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).

P.105

■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.

●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.93)

●After removing the AC charging

cable, promptly return it to its

proper location.

While charging, if heat is gener-

ated due to looseness on the

suppresses heat by controlling

the charging current.

■ 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 outlet and then reconnect it to check if the error

indicator turns off.

If the error warning indicator turns off, charging is now possible.

■Maintaining the AC charging

Inspecting the AC

charging cable

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.

For safety, inspect the AC

charging cable on a routine

basis.

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 seri-

ous injury.

WARNING

■Routine inspection

Check the following points regu-

larly.

■When not using the AC

charging cable for a long time

Failure to do so may cause an

unexpected accident, resulting in

death or serious injury.

Remove the plug from the outlet.

Dust could accumulate on the

plug or in the outlet, possibly

causing overheating which could

lead to a fire.

●The AC charging cable, plug,

charging connector, CCID

(Charging Circuit Interrupting

Device), etc., have not been

damaged

Also, keep the cable in a place

free from moisture.

●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

deformed.

●The plug is not dirtied by dust,

etc.

Remove the plug from the outlet

before inspecting it. If any abnor-

malities are found in the AC

charging cable as a result of the

inspection, immediately stop use

and consult your Toyota dealer.
