INFORMATION
■ Protection function of AC charging inlet overheating (vehicles with 7 kW onboard
traction battery charger)
By installing a temperature sensor to the AC charging inlet, prevents parts from melting
when the temperature rises due to foreign matter entering the AC charging connector.
When a certain temperature increase is detected, charging is stopped immediately
and a message is displayed on the multi-information display. After the temperature has
decreased, charging resumes by performing the operation to start charging again.
■ When using a AC charger with authentication function at public charging station
When a door is unlocked during charging, the AC charging connector is unlocked and
charging will be stopped. In this case, the AC charger authentication is canceled and
charging may not be able to restart. Reconnect the AC charging connector and perform
authentication for the AC charger.
■ When the outside temperature is low or high
The level shown on the SOC (State of Charge) gauge may drop slightly when the power
switch is turned to ON, even if charging has been completed and the hybrid battery
(traction battery) is fully charged. However, this does not indicate a malfunction.
