Starting the fuel cell syst em in cold temperatures
● When the power switch is pressed and the fuel cell system starts ( →P. 172)
during cold temperatures, the fuel cell stack is quickly warmed up using the
waste heat during power generation.
● When the temperatures is cold, it may take some time until the “READY”
indicator turns on.
● The power output will be temporarily limited until the fuel cell system
reaches full operating temperature.
● The fuel cell system noises may become louder when the temperature is
cold. This is the normal warm-up operation and is not a malfunction. In
some cases, operation noises may continue for a some time even after the
“READY” indicator has turned on. ( →P. 80)
■ Stopping the fuel cell system in cold temperatures
●When the power switch is pressed and the fuel cell system is stopped
(→ P. 173) during cold temperatures, the time for water purge from the tail-
pipe may be longer than usual to prevent liquid in the fuel cell stack from
freezing.
● The water purge time may also be long if the system is stopped before fuel
cell system warm-up is completed.
● It is normal to hear hissing and other sounds during purge. ( →P. 80)
● The H
2O indicator on the meter will illuminate during purge.
●
In extremely cold temperatures, the
“READY” indicator may take more than
10 seconds to illuminate. In this case,
the status progression of the fuel cell
system startup is displayed on the multi-
information display.

Parking in cold temperatures
●Water may automatically purge from the tailpipe, even when the fuel cell
system is off, in order to prevent liquid in the fuel cell stack, hydrogen pipe-
lines, etc., from freezing while parked during cold temperatures.
● It is normal to hear hissing and other sounds during purge. ( →P. 80)
● The H
2O indicator on the meter will illuminate during purge.
● Before storing the vehicle for extended periods of time in a location with
freezing temperatures, perform a cold-weather manual purge:
Turn the power switch to ON mode and press the H
2O switch.

switch mode may not change. It is not necessary to press and hold the
switch.
■ Automatic P position selection function
●When the shift position is other than P, pressing the power switch with the
vehicle stopped completely will cause the shift position to change to P auto-
matically, and then the power switch will turn off.
● When turning the power switch off with the shift position other than P, firmly
depress the brake pedal and confirm that the shift position* has changed to
P before slowly releasing the brake pedal.
*: Even after the instrument panel display has been turned off, the shift
position indicator will continue to be displayed for several seconds.

WARNING
■ When starting the fuel cell system
Always start the fuel cell system while sitting in the driver’s seat. Do not
depress the accelerator pedal while starting the fuel cell system under any
circumstances.
Doing so may cause an accident resulting in death or serious injury.
■ Stopping the fuel cell system in an emergency
If you want to stop the fuel cell system in an emergency while driving the
vehicle, press and hold the power switch for more than 2 seconds, or press
it briefly 3 times or more in succession. ( →P. 361)
However, do not touch the power switch while driving except in an emer-
gency. Turning the fuel cell system off while driving will not cause loss of
steering or braking control, however, power assist to the steering will be
lost. This will make it more difficult to steer smoothly, so you should pull over
and stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so.
