Fuel cell system
MIRAI_OM_USA_OM62023U■
Fuel cell stack coolant
●Fuel cell stack coolant uses a specifically-designed fluid with high electrical
insulation properties, in order to safely cool the high-voltage fuel cell stack.
● Never add water or other coolants to the fuel cell stack cooling system, as
they will cause permanent damage.
● Consult your Toyota dealer for repleni shing or changing the fuel cell stack
coolant.
■ Ion filter
●An ion filter is installed in the coolant lines for the fuel cell stack, in order to
maintain the normal insulation properties of the coolant.
● It is necessary to periodically change the ion filter. ( →P. 378) Contact your
Toyota dealer for this periodic maintenance.
■ Tailpipe
●When the power switch is turned off and the fuel cell system is stopped
(→P. 173) after driving, exhaust water is discharged. Be careful when stand-
ing behind the vehicle to avoid dripping or spraying.
● It is possible to manually purge the exhaust. This may be desirable, for
instance, before parking in a garage. This is done by pressing the H
2O
switch. ( →P. 173)
● On cold days, water vapor in the exhaust may appear as a white mist emit-
ted from the tailpipe. This is not a malfunction.
● If the tailpipe is blocked, the fuel cell system will stop.
■ Hydrogen detectors
When the power switch is turned to ON mode, the hydrogen detectors are
activated.

Maintenance and care
WARNING
The motor compartment contains many mechanisms and fluids that may
move suddenly, become hot, or become electrically energized. To avoid death
or serious injury, observe the following precautions.
■When working on the motor compartment
● Be careful not to touch the high-voltage parts or hydrogen-related parts.
● Make sure that the “READY” indicator is off.
● Keep hands, clothing and tools away from the moving fans.
● Be careful not to touch the motor, inverter, radiator, etc., right after driving
as they may be hot. Coolant and other fluids may also be hot.
● Do not leave anything that may burn easily, such as paper and rags, in the
motor compartment.
● Do not smoke, cause sparks or expose an open flame to the 12-volt bat-
tery. 12-volt battery fumes are flammable.
● Be extremely cautious when working on the 12-volt battery. It contains poi-
sonous and corrosive sulfuric acid.
● Take care because brake fluid can harm your hands or eyes and damage
painted surfaces. If fluid gets on your hands or in your eyes, flush the
affected area with clean water immediately.
If you still experience discomfort, consult a doctor.
● Never touch, disassemble, remove or replace the high-voltage parts,
cables and their connectors. It can cause severe burns or electric shock
that may result in death or serious injury.
■ When working near the electric cooling fans or radiator grille
Be sure the power switch is off.
With the power switch in ON mode, t he electric cooling fans may automati-
cally start to run if the air conditioning is on and/or the coolant temperature
is high. ( →P. 325)
■ Safety glasses
Wear safety glasses to prevent flying or falling material, fluid spray, etc.,
from getting in your eyes.
NOTICE
■If you remove the air cleaner filter
Driving with the air cleaner filter removed may cause excessive motor wear
due to dirt in the air.
