■ When the outside temperature
is low or high
The level shown on the SOC (State
of Charge) gauge (P.165) 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.
■ When removing the charging
connector
Press the latch release button,
check that the lever raises up, and
then pull the charging connector
towards you.
If the lever does not raise up even
after the latch release button is
pressed, the charging connector is
locked. If this occurs, unlock the
doors using the smart key system or
wireless remote control to unlock
the charging connector. (P.107)
■ If the charging connector can-
not be unlocked

■ After charging
Remove the plug if it will not be
used for a long time.
Dirt and dust may accumulate
plug or outlet, which could cause
a malfunction or fire, possibly
leading to death or serious injury.
■ After charging
● Store the AC charging cable out
of reach from infants and chil-
dren.
● After disconnecting the charging
connector from the AC charging
inlet, make sure to put on the
AC charging inlet cap and close
the charging port lid. If the AC
charging inlet cap is not put on,
water or foreign objects may
enter the AC charging inlet,
which could lead to vehicle
damage.
● After removing the plug from the
outlet, keep it in a safe place
free from moisture and dust.
The AC charging cable or plug
may be damaged if the cable is
stepped on or ridden over by
the vehicle.
