ICapacity reduction of the trac-

tion battery

charging completes, have the vehi-

cle inspected by your Toyota dealer.

The capacity of the traction battery

will decline gradually when the trac-

tion battery is in use. The rate at

which it declines will differ in accor-

dance with environmental conditions

and the way in which the vehicle is

used. Observing the following can

help suppress the decline in the

traction battery capacity.

remaining charge display of the

traction battery shows that it is

fully charged, the remaining

charge rapidly decreases faster

than normal.

temperature areas, under direct

sunlight when the traction battery

How to use DC

charging

Confirm the following

before charging

P.92

This section explains the

DC charging procedure for

the traction battery.

When charging

When using a DC charger,

make sure to check the

operation instructions of

the DC charger.

1 Open the charging port lid.

(P.83)

Using “Battery precondi-

tioning” adjusts the traction

battery temperature to the

optimum state during DC

charging. By keeping the

traction battery at the opti-

mum temperature, charging

time can be shortened.

WARNING

IWhen using a DC charger

Observe the following precau-

tions.

Failure to do so may cause an

unexpected accident, resulting in

death or serious injury.

with SAE J 3400.

3 Insert the DC charging con-

nector into the charging inlet.

Even if a message indicating vehicle

error on the DC charger side (ex.

vehicle error found, vehicle error

no vehicle fault but possibly a com-

munication error between the DC

Charging starts after a system

check is done.

Stop the charging in accordance to

the handling procedures of the DC

charger when it is desired to inter-

rupt the DC charging.

GThe current charging condition

can be checked on the multi-infor-

mation display.

GThe actual charging time may dif-

fer from that displayed on the DC

charger during charging.

GThere may be occasions the radio

cannot be heard due to noise

occurrence during DC charging.

IWhen connecting the DC

charging connector

If the door is opened or the power

switch is turned to ON with the DC

charging connector connected, the

charging cable indicator turns on to

notify that the DC charging connec-

tor is connected.

GAs the battery approaches full

charge, the charging speed will

decrease and it will take longer to

complete charging.

GDepending on the specifications

of the charger, charging will stop

before fully charging.

GThe time to complete charging

may change, or charging may

stop before reaching the upper

limit of the charge capacity, due to

the remaining charge of the trac-

tion battery, the outside tempera-

ture, the specifications of the

charger, etc.

ICharging time may increase

P.93

GWhen DC charging using a con-

version adapter, the time to com-

plete charging may change, or

charging may stop, due to the out-

side temperature or the usage.

tor cannot be inserted into the

GQuickly move from the DC

charging space for other users

after the DC charging is com-

pleted.

Remove the DC charging connec-

tor and immediately reinsert it while

the charging indicator is flashing in

green. The settings will be changed

to the default settings.

GIf DC charging is performed while

the traction battery is extremely

cold, such as in cold weather,

steam may come out of the motor

compartment or dew may be

formed on the hood. This is

because the heat, generated

while the traction battery is

warmed, causes snow, ice, or

frost to evaporate. This is not a

malfunction.

The settings will be return to the

customized setting next time the

charging is performed.

If the DC charging connector is

locked immediately after inserting it,

press

switch of the wireless

remote control or the door unlock

switch on the driver’s side 3 times at

intervals of about one second to

stop DC charging, and then remove

the DC charging connector.

GThe charge amount is corrected

when the traction battery is fully

charged, so 100% remaining the

traction battery may not be dis-

played.

WARNING

GWhile DC charging, when the trac-

tion battery is approximately fully

charged, it may be indicate that

the remaining charge of the trac-

tion battery is at 100% due to the

level of charge is corrected, caus-

ing charging to stop.

IWarnings for DC charging

Be sure to observe the following

when using DC charging.

Failure to do so may cause an

accident that could lead to death

or serious injury.

GCheck that the DC charger and

charging inlet are not damaged.

If there is any damage to the
