Electric Vehicle system
Before charging, always check
the following items.
The parking brake is applied.
(P.243)
The power switch is turned to
OFF. (P. 23 1)
Lights such as the headlights,
emergency flashers and inte-
rior lights, etc. are turned off.
If these light switches are turned
on, then these features will con-
sume electricity, and charging time
will increase.
Before charging, make sure that
each part of the AC charging
cable is in good condition.
(P.90)
■ During charging
● The charging starting time may
differ depending on the state of
the vehicle, but this does not indi-
cate a malfunction.
● During charging, sounds may be
heard from near the traction bat-
tery in accordance with the opera-
tion of the air conditioning system
or “Battery Cooler” (P. 9 7 ) .
● During and after charging, the
motor compartment and its sur-
rounding area in which the
onboard traction battery charger is
installed may get warm.
● The surface of the CCID
(Charging Circuit Interrupting
Device) may become hot, but this
does not indicate a malfunction.
● Depending on radio wave condi-
tions, interference may be heard
on the radio.
■ When charging using a public
charging facility
● When charging using a public
charging facility, check the setting
of the charging schedule function.
• When the charging schedule is
registered, temporarily turn off the
function or turn “Charge Now” on.
(P. 11 7)
• When the charging schedule is set
to on, charging will not start even
if the AC charging cable is con-
nected. Also, charging fee may
occur due to connection of the AC
charging cable.
■ Capacity reduction of the trac-
tion battery
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.
● Avoid parking the vehicle in high
temperature areas, under direct
sunlight when the traction battery
is fully charged.
● Avoid accelerating and decelerat-
ing frequently and suddenly.
● Avoid frequent driving at high
speed.
● Use the charging schedule func-
tion as much as possible in order
to fully charged the traction bat-
tery before starting off. (P.11 6)
NOTICE
