■For the shift positions
●When the power switch is off, the shift position cannot be changed.
● When the power switch is in ON mode (the fuel cell system is not operating),
the shift position can only be changed to N. The shift position will be
changed to N even if the shift position is shifted to D or R and held in that
position.
● When the “READY” indicator is on, the shift position can be changed from P
to D, N or R.
● When the “READY” indicator is flashing, the shift position cannot be
changed from P to another position even if the shift lever is operated.
Wait until the “READY” indicator changes from a flashing to a solid light, and
then operate the shift lever again.
In addition, if an attempt is made to change the shift position by moving the
shift lever or by pressing the P position switch in any of the following situa-
tions, a buzzer will sound and the shifting operation will be disabled or the
shift position will automatically change to N. When this happens, select an
appropriate shift position.
● When attempting to change the shift position from P without depressing the
brake pedal, the shift position change is invalidated.
● Situations where the shift position will automatically change to N:
• When the P position switch is pressed while the vehicle is running.

1985-4. Refueling
MIRAI_OM_USA_OM62023U
Opening the fuel door
●Close the all the doors and windows.
● Set the parking brake.
● Shift the shift position to P.
● Turn the power switch off.
● Turn off the headlights.
■Fuel Type
Compressed hydrogen gas
■ Notes on fueling
●Fueling will not be possible if the pressure inside the vehicle’s hydrogen tanks
is higher than the supply pressure of the hydrogen station. If the hydrogen
tanks are more than half full, the vehicle will be unable to fuel at a H35 dis-
penser.
A hydrogen station with a H70 dispenser (supply pressure of 10150 psi
[70 MPa, 714 kgf/cm
2, 700 bar] is necessary to completely fill hydrogen tanks.
● If the fueling cannot be completed due to trouble with the station equipment,
call the number indicated on the equipment.
● Fuel with compressed hydrogen ga s only at hydrogen stations.
● Fuel at hydrogen stations confor ming with the Society of Automo-
tive Engineers (SAE) J2601 fueling protocol or laws that may
supersede such SAE protocols.
● Refer to the Mirai Station Finder Application in Entune,
www.toyota.com
, or call 800-331-4331.
● Observe any notices or instructio ns shown at hydrogen stations.
● The filling time and amount of fuel may depend on outside tem-
perature and the equipment at that hydrogen station.
●
Vehicles with expired hydro gen tanks must not be used. (→P. 86)
Consult your Toyota dealer.
Before filling

2045-5. Using the driving support systems
MIRAI_OM_USA_OM62023U
This mode employs a radar sensor to detect the presence of vehicles
up to approximately 400 ft. (120 m) ahead, determines the current
vehicle-to-vehicle following distance, and operates to maintain a suit-
able following distance from the vehicle ahead.
Note that vehicle-to-vehicle distance will close in when traveling on long
downhill slopes.
Example of constant speed cruising
When there are no vehicles ahead
The vehicle travels at the speed set by the driver. The desired vehicle-to-
vehicle distance can also be set by operating the vehicle-to-vehicle dis-
tance control.
Example of deceleration cruising
When a preceding vehicle is driving slower than the set speed
appears
When a vehicle is detected running ahead of you, the system automatically
decelerates your vehicle. When a greater reduction in vehicle speed is
necessary, the system applies the brakes (the stop lights will come on at
this time). A warning tone warns you when the system cannot decelerate
sufficiently to prevent your vehicle from closing in on the vehicle ahead.
Driving in vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode

2085-5. Using the driving support systems
MIRAI_OM_USA_OM62023U
Pulling the lever toward you
cancels the speed control.
The speed setting is also canceled
when the brake pedal is
depressed.
Pushing the lever up resumes
the speed control and returns
vehicle speed to the set speed.
However, when a vehicle ahead is not detected in vehicle-to-vehicle dis-
tance control mode, cruise control does not resume when the actual vehi-
cle speed is approximately 25 mph (40 km/h) or less. Also, when the
vehicle is in constant speed control mode and the actual vehicle speed is
approximately 25 mph (40 km/h) or less, cruise control does not resume as
the set speed is cleared.
When your vehicle is too close to
a vehicle ahead, and sufficient
automatic deceleration via the
cruise control is not possible, the
display will flash and the buzzer
will sound to alert the driver. An
example of this would be if
another driver cuts in front of you
while you are following a vehicle.
Depress the brake pedal to ensure an appropriate vehicle-to-vehicle
distance.
■Warnings may not occur when
In the following instances, there is a possibility that the warnings will
not occur:
● When the speed of the preceding vehicle matches or exceeds
your vehicle speed
● When the preceding vehicle is traveling at an extremely slow speed
● Immediately after the cruise control speed was set
● When depressing the accelerator pedal
