Caution labels/identification labels

Caution labels/identification labels are attached to the vehicle, AC charging cable and

charger to inform the user of which device they should use.
The meaning of the each caution label/identification label is as follows:

Charging mode

Outline

Mode 1

A charging method which does not use charging control to detect
electrical leakages between an external power source and the vehi-
cle. Does not apply to this vehicle.

Mode 2

A charging method which connects the vehicle to an external power
source through a AC charging cable equipped with a CCID
(Charging Circuit Interrupting Device).
Applies to charging through most household sockets.

Mode 3

A charging method which charges from a charger (such as at a pub-
lic charging station) equipped with charging control to detect elec-
trical leakages. Control to detect electrical leakages is implemented
on the charger side. Therefore, a CCID (Charging Circuit Interrupt-
ing Device) is not equipped to the AC charging cable.
Not all chargers are equipped with AC charging cables. If there is no
AC charging cable available, use the Mode 3 AC charging cable
equipped to this vehicle. (if equipped)

2-2. Charging

This product must be grounded. In
case of malfunction or break down,
grounding provides a path of least
resistance for electric current to
reduce the risk of electric shock. This
product is equipped with a grounding
conductor and a grounding plug. The
grounding plug must be plugged into
an appropriate socket that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance
with all local codes and ordinances.

rupting Device) has the following
safety features.

Electrical leakage detection func-
tion

If electrical leakage is detected during
charging, the power source will auto-
matically be isolated, therefore help-
ing prevent an electrical fire or shock.

If the power source is isolated, the error
warning indicator will flash. If the power
source is isolated:

: CHAdeMO is a trade name of DC

charging method that the CHAdeMO
Association is proposing.

The time required to charge the traction battery differs according to the charging
voltage and charging current.

: Even if charged with the AC charger at a public charging station, when the upper limit is

set to “16A” or “8A” with “Charging Current” settings, the vehicle is charged at that cur-
rent. (
