In the following situations, use cable extension, etc. and connect the plug securely to the power outlet: When the plug of a device is too large to allow it to be inserted fully and securely into the power outlet. When the plug of a device is heavy, possibly causing it to come off the power outlet. If the device to be used has a ground wire, use a conversion adapter available on the market and connect the ground wire to the ground terminal of the conversion adapter. Note: Power outlets With these power outlets, use devices which operate on 120 VAC and have a combined maximum power consumption of 1500 W or less. If a device is connected and the power consumption is exceeded, a protection circuit may be activated and the power supply function may be stopped. Some of the devices that consume a large amount of power, such as an electric grille, may require the exclusive use of the power outlets. When such a device is connected, do not connect other device(s) to the power outlets. When multiple devices are connected, depending on the device, a connected device may not operate properly. For such a device, use exclusively the power outlets. Depending on the device to be used, the current flow may be high and the initial peak wattage may exceed 1500 W.In this case, the protection circuit may operate, and the power outlets may not be able to be used. When a power outlet is being used, depending on the device to be used, it may cause interference with TV and radio broadcasts. While a power outlet is being used, a cooling fan sound may be heard from near a center console. This does not indicate a malfunction. Devices which may not operate correctly The following devices may not operate properly even if the combined power consumption is 1500 W or less: Devices with high initial peak wattage Devices requiring larger amount of power supply than the power consumption specified in its instruction manual Measuring devices that process precise data Devices that require an extremely stable power supply Devices that require a constant power supply from the power outlet, such as a device with a timer. Rules/regulations regarding idling stop The engine will start automatically to charge the hybrid battery (traction battery) if its charge becomes low. In some municipalities, if the engine starts while the vehicle is parked or stopped, it may violate local rules or regulations regarding idling stop and you may be penalized. Make sure to check the local rules and regulations before using the power outlets while the vehicle is parked or stopped. When the power outlets are used while the vehicle is parked or stopped Depending on the device connected to a power outlet, the smart key system or the electronic keys may not operate properly due to electronic interference generated from the connected device. When a door is opened/closed, a buzzer may sound or “Key Not Detected Check Key Location” may be displayed on the multi-information display. Check that an electronic key is carried with you. When the surrounding area becomes dark while the power supply is being performed, the headlights, etc. will come on automatically.

Do not allow children or other people not used to the operation to perform the power supply by themselves. Do not disconnect the plug of a device while your hands are wet or insert a pin or other object into the power outlet. Also, if a liquid or snow is on the power outlet, dry the outlet before using it. Keep the power outlets free of dust and foreign matter. Also, make sure to clean the power outlets periodically. Hold the plug body to plug in/out of a power outlet. Do not touch the plug blades. Do not pull on a cord for unplugging, as otherwise the plug or cord may be damaged. Stop the use immediately if abnormal heat is observed on a cord or power outlet. To prevent the cord or power outlet from becoming hot, observe the following precautions: Do not connect 2 or more multi-point outlet adapters, such as dual adapters. When an extension cord reel is used, make sure to draw the whole cord out of the reel. If the device to be used has a ground wire, use a conversion adapter available on the market and connect the ground wire to the ground terminal of the conversion adapter. If the plug of a device fits loosely in a power outlet, even though it is fully inserted, replace the power outlet. For information on replacement, contact your Toyota dealer. Devices to be connected Make sure to read any instruction manual which came with a device and observe any warnings on the device. Do not connect a device to a power outlet if the device is malfunctioning or its plug is damaged. Otherwise, the device may be further malfunctioning, especially when the outside temperature is high or low. Devices requiring to be installed on a level place may not operate properly. Do not use devices, other than waterproof devices, in a place where water, such as rain, is splashed over or where it is humid. Do not use a device that has been or likely to have been merged in water or absorbed water within. Depending on the vehicle condition, the power supply function may be temporarily stopped. When the power outlets are used while the vehicle is parked or stopped The power outlets are designed to be connected to electric devices, such as lighting devices. Do not use them as a generator that supplies power to a house, etc. Also, when they are to be used on an emergency power supply device for homes, such as an exclusive device having connection to an external power source, or a device whose power supply circuit for external power source is separate from electric wiring of power companies, consult with the manufacturer or a retailer of the device. When using a power outlet, make sure to securely engage the parking brake and shift the shift position to P. Otherwise, the vehicle may move, possibly leading to an accident. When using a power outlet, do not move away from the vehicle. Do not perform rapid charging during weather when lightning may occur. Stop supplying power if lightning is observed during power supply. Do not use the power outlets if the vehicle has a vehicle cover installed. Take due care when you sleep in the vehicle while using devices such as an electric heater. The power supply system may stop automatically, possibly resulting in unintended stoppage of the connected device. Do not use a power outlet when the vehicle is parked on a slanted place or a slope. When a power outlet is being used, do not move the vehicle or cause it to be inclined. Do not refuel or wash the vehicle when using a power outlet. Make sure that the hood is closed. As the engine will start automatically depending on the condition of the vehicle, make sure that nothing is left near or contacting the exhaust pipes. Also, do not put your head or hands anywhere inside the engine compartment. The cooling fan may operate suddenly. Keep hands and clothing (especially a tie, scarf, muffler, etc.) away from the fans as they may get caught in a fan, resulting in serious injury. Do not stop the vehicle near objects which burn easily. If the exhaust system is extremely hot, it may cause a fire. If the charge level of the hybrid battery (traction battery) becomes low, the gasoline engine will operate automatically. When using a power outlet in an area with poor ventilation, such as a garage, or an enclosed area (covered with snow), to prevent the exhaust gasses from accumulating and causing a lack of oxygen, make sure to properly install and use an air supply/exhaust device. Do not use the power outlets if such a device cannot be installed. Observe the following precautions when a connected cord is to be brought outside the vehicle: Take due care for not allowing rain to enter.If the power outlet are wet with raindrops, dry them before use.
