There is an air intake vent beside
the rear left seat for the purpose
of cooling the traction battery. If
the air intake vent is blocked, it
could lead to a reduction in trac-
tion battery output.
■ If a warning light comes on, a warn ing message is displayed, or the 12-
volt battery connection is disconnected
The fuel cell system may not be able to restart.
If the “READY” indicator does not come on, even when the start pro\
cedure is
repeated, contact your Toyota dealer.
■ If “Hydrogen Leakage Detected Visit Your Dealer” is displayed on the
multi-information display
A small amount of hydrogen gas may be leaking. Have the vehicle inspected
immediately at the nearest Toyota dealer.
■ If “FC System Shutdown due to Hydrogen Leakage Stop Your Vehicle in
a Safe Place and Contact Your Dealer ” is displayed on the multi-informa-
tion display
● Hydrogen gas may be leaking.
When hydrogen gas is leaking or some other malfunction is detected:
→P. 9 0
● The air conditioning system will shut off automatically.
■ Running out of fuel
When the vehicle has run out of fuel and the fuel cell system cannot be
started, refuel the vehicle until the low fuel level warning light ( →P. 371) turns
off before trying to restart. It may not be able to restart if the refueled amount
is too low (less than about 2.7 lb. [1.2 kg]).

Fuel cell stack
●Depending on the usage environment, the fuel cell power output may
decline over the life of the vehicle. However, this will have almost no effect
on driving performance.
● In the following situations, the fuel cell power output may decline faster than
normal driving:
• Extended use in areas with high amounts of dust
• Extended use in areas with high levels of sulfur (such as volcanoes or hot
springs).
• Extended use in areas with high concentrations of the following substances:
-Organic solvents, such as paint and thinner
-Amine-related materials such as ammonia
-Chlorinated substances such as salt air and snow-melting agent
However, upon returning to normal environment, the fuel cell power output
will recover over time.
• Salt water gets into the air cleaner filter It is recommended to replace the air cleaner filter and clean the surround-
ing components. Have the vehicle inspected at your Toyota dealer
• The number of times the fuel cell system is started and stopped is exces- sively high
• Extended use in freezing temperatures
■ Hydrogen tanks
●The hydrogen tanks are the high-pressure storage containers that are filled
with compressed hydrogen gas. The vehicle can be refueled at hydrogen
stations.
● The hydrogen tanks have an expiration date. Vehicles with expired hydro-
gen tanks must not be driven or refueled until the hydrogen tanks are
replaced. The expiration date is written on the inside of the fuel door. Con-
sult your Toyota dealer.
● When disposing of the hydrogen tanks or the hydrogen tank valves, consult
your Toyota dealer for details.

Fuel cell system indicator and ECO Score
The output power of the fuel cell system, regeneration level display,
and the ECO driving is scored and displayed.
Charge area
Shows that energy is being
recovered via the regenera-
tive brake.
Eco area
Shows that the vehicle is
being driven in an Eco-
friendly manner.
Power area
Shows that an Eco-friendly dr iving range is being exceeded.
ECO Score
Displays the driving conditions in 5 stages, which are separated
in the 3 patterns of ECO Start, ECO Cruise and ECO Stop. Also,
each time the vehicle is stopped, that number is displayed. (The
number for each take off is reset and not counted)
● By maintaining the indicator display in the ECO area or Charge
area, Eco-friendly driving is possible.
● Charge area indicates regeneration
* status. Regenerated energy
will be used to charge t he traction battery.
*: When used in this manual, “regeneration” refers to the conversion of
energy created by the movement of the vehicle into electrical energy.

The battery-saving function will be activated in order to prevent the electronic
key battery and the 12-volt battery from being discharged while the vehicle is
not in operation for a long time.
●In the following situations, the smart key system may take some time to
unlock the doors.
• The electronic key has been left in an area of approximately 6 ft. (2 m) of
the outside of the vehicle for 10 minutes or longer.
• The smart key system has not been used for 5 days or longer.
● If the smart key system has not been used for 14 days or longer, the doors
cannot be unlocked at any doors except the driver’s door. In this case, take
hold of the driver’s door handle, or use the wireless remote control or the
mechanical key, to unlock the doors.
■ Electronic Key battery-Saving Function
When battery-saving mode is set, battery depletion is minimized by stopping
the electronic key from receiving radio waves.
