WARNING

●

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 connector).

●

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 Circuit Interrupting Device) is
hanging in the air without contacting the ground).

NOTICE

■

Precautions when handling AC charging cable

Make sure to observe the following 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 connector, do not apply excessive force to or twist the
connector. Also, do not lean on the connector 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.

●

After removing the AC charging cable, promptly return it to its proper location.

●

After removing the charging connector, securely install the AC charging inlet cap.

■

Precautions for low temperatures

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.

WARNING

●

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 abnormalities are found in the
AC charging cable as a result of the inspection, immediately stop use and consult your
Lexus dealer.

■

Maintaining the AC charging 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.
However, never wash it with water. If the AC charging cable is washed with water, fire or
electric shock may occur during charging.

■

When not using the AC charging cable for a long time

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.
Also, keep the cable in a place free from moisture.

Safety functions

The CCID (Charging Circuit Interrupting Device) has the following safety features.

■

Electrical leakage detection function

If an electrical leakage is detected during charging, the power source will be
automatically interrupted, thus preventing fires or electrical shocks caused by
electrical leakage.

If the power source is interrupted, the error warning indicator flashes.

■

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 electrical leakage detection function as a result of the check,
the error warning indicator flashes to inform the user.

■

Temperature detection function

A temperature detection function is equipped to the plug. While charging, if heat is
generated due to looseness on the outlet side etc., this function suppresses heat by
controlling the charging current.

1-3. Charging with the plug-in hybrid system

■

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 connected to
the vehicle, even if the plug is inserted into the outlet.

Operation of CCID (Charging Circuit Interrupting Device) indicators

■

Indicator operation

3 indicators are used to indicate the following conditions.

Power indicator

Illuminates when electricity is flowing to the
CCID (Charging Circuit Interrupting Device).

Charging indicator

Illuminates when charging is in progress.

Error warning indicator

Flashes when there is an electrical leakage or
when a malfunction occurs in the CCID (Charg-
ing Circuit Interrupting Device).

Power sources that can be used

An external power source that fulfills the following criteria is necessary for charg-
ing this vehicle. Confirm this before charging.

WARNING

■

Warnings for electrical faults

Make sure to observe the precautions in this Owner’s Manual when charging the vehicle.
Failure to use a power source that fulfills the requirements, or failure to observe regula-
tions while charging could lead to an accident.

■

Power sources precautions

Make sure to observe the following precautions regarding the use of an external power
source.

●

Connect to an AC 120 V outlet (NEMA 5-15R) with a Ground-Fault Circuit-Inter-
rupter (GFCI) and supplied by a circuit breaker per your local code. Use of a 15 A
individual circuit is strongly recommended.

●

Do not connect the AC charging cable to a multi-socket adaptor, multi-plugs, or
conversion plug.

●

Connecting the AC charging cable to an extension cord is strictly prohibited.

1-3. Charging with the plug-in hybrid system

Befor

e driving

WARNING

The extension cord may overheat and does not contain a Ground- Fault Circuit-In-
terrupter (GFCI). The leakage detection function of the CCID (Charging Circuit
Interrupting Device) may not operate correctly.

●

Do not connect to a branch electrical socket.

●

Make sure to connect the charging connector and AC charging inlet directly.
Do not connect a converting adaptor or extension cord between the charging con-
nector and AC charging inlet.

●

Connect to an AC 120 V outlet (NEMA 5-15R) with a Ground-Fault Circuit-In-
terrupter (GFCI) and a circuit breaker. Use of a 15 A individual circuit is strongly
recommended to ensure AC charging cable will operate properly.

●

When charging outdoors, make sure to connect to a weatherproof outlet that
is certified for outdoor use. Checking Ground-Fault Circuit- Interrupter (GFCI)
operation before its use is recommended.

INFORMATION

■

The charging environment

For safe charging, the following charging equipment and settings are recommended.

●

Weatherproof outlet
When charging outdoors, connect the plug to a weatherproof outlet, and ensure that
the plug remains waterproof while the plug is connected.

●

Dedicated circuit

•

To reduce the risk of fire, connect only to an at least 15 A branch circuit with
an over-current protection in accordance with the National Electric Code, ANSI/
NFPA 70.

•

To reduce the risk of electric shock when working with the plug, connect to a outlet
with a Ground- Fault Circuit-Interrupter (GFCI) or that has an Earth Leakage
Circuit Breaker installed.

Sockets that can be connected

The plug is designed to be connected to a NEMA 5-15R outlet.
The illustration is an example shown for demonstration purposes, and may differ
from the actual configuration.

Preventing the circuit breaker from tripping during charging

When your circuit breaker trips during charging, the upper limit of the charging
current can be changed in [Vehicle customize] on the center display.

Select

on the center display.

Select [Vehicle customize].

Select [Charging].

Select [Charging current].

Select [16A]

or [8A] on the charging current screen, and then press [OK].

During charging, the maximum charging current will be restricted to the set current or
lower.

If the breaker still trips while charging, even after changing the upper limit of the
charging current, check if the connected power source meets the specified charging
conditions.

Charging tips

This section explains methods for using the charging function for this vehicle and
checking information related to charging.
To enable the use of EV mode or AUTO EV/HV mode, we recommend systemati-
cally charging the vehicle.

■

Before leaving home

In order to use EV mode or AUTO EV/HV mode, charge the hybrid battery
(traction battery) at home before leaving.

The charging schedule function can be used to set the system to automatically fully charge
the hybrid battery (traction battery) before your desired departure time.

■

At your destination

Use a public charging station to charge the hybrid battery (traction battery).
If there are no public charging stations at your destination, the hybrid battery
(traction battery) can be charged using the hybrid battery (traction battery) charge
mode.

■

After returning home

In order to drive the next time, charge the hybrid battery (traction battery).

Settings the charging schedule allows you to charge the hybrid battery (traction battery)
at the desired time such as late at night or early in the morning. Furthermore, the charging
schedule can be set to automatically charge the hybrid battery (traction battery) every day
or at the same time on certain days.
