Fuel cell system
MIRAI_OM_USA_OM62023U
The fuel cell vehicle has high-voltage components (about 650 V maxi-
mum) such as a fuel cell stack, traction battery, power control unit,
high-voltage cables (which are distinguished from low-voltage cables
by their orange covers), electric motor (traction motor), etc., and high-
temperature parts such as the radiator for cooling. Pay attention to all
warning labels attached to the vehicle.
This diagram is for illust rative purposes only and may differ from the
actual vehicle.

Power output restriction
When the power output is restricted, the vehicle may fail to accelerate or even
decelerate, even though the accelerator pedal is depressed. If a safe driving
speed cannot be maintained, stop the vehicle in a safe place away from the
traffic. This may be caused by the following conditions:
●The coolant temperature may be too high. This can be caused by driving
conditions such as repeated sudden acceleration and deceleration, continu-
ous driving on an incline, continuous driving at high altitudes with a high
load, etc. In such situations, the power output restriction indicator (amber) is
displayed on the main display, “High FC Temperature Reduced Power” is
displayed on the multi-information display, and the power output is
restricted. Once the coolant returns to normal temperature, the power out-
put will return to normal. ( →P. 377)
● The remaining fuel may be low. After the low fuel warning indicator comes
on, the output power will be gradually restricted in order to extend the possi-
ble driving distance. Once getting to this point, the remaining driving dis-
tance possible is short. Immediately refill the vehicle with hydrogen.
● On cold days, the low fuel warning indicator comes on faster than usual and
the output power is restricted.
■ Vehicle proximity notification system
In the following cases, the vehicle proximity notification system may be diffi-
cult to hear for people around.
●In very noisy areas
● In wind or rain
Also, because the vehicle proximity notification system is located in the front
of the vehicle, it may be more difficult to hear from the rear of the vehicle
compared to the front.
■ Electromagnetic waves (EMF)
●High-voltage parts and cables in fuel cell vehicles have an electromagne\
tic
shielding configuration, and therefore emit approximately the same amount
of electromagnetic waves as conventional gasoline-powered vehicles or
home electronic appliances.
● Your vehicle may cause sound interference in some third party-produced
radio parts.
■ Traction battery
The traction battery has a limited service life. The lifespan of the traction bat-
tery can change according to driving style and driving conditions.

ECO MODE indicator and POWER MODE indicator
Displays the selected driving mode.
(→P. 181)
Power restriction indicator
Blue: The fuel cell system output power is restricted, because the
coolant temperature is low.
Amber: The fuel cell system output power is restricted, because the
coolant temperature is high.
Outside temperature
Displays the outside temperature within the range of -40°F (-40°C)
to 122°F (50°C).
Low outside temperature indicator flashes when the ambient tem-
perature is 37°F (3°C) or lower.
Driving range distance
Displays the estimated maximum distance that can be driven with
the quantity of fuel remaining. • This distance is computed base d on your average fuel consump-
tion. As a result, the actual dist ance that can be driven may differ
from that displayed.
• When only a small amount of fuel is added to the hydrogen tanks, the display may not be updated.
Speedometer
Displays the vehicle speed.
Odometer and trip meter
Odometer:
Displays the total distance the vehicle has been driven.
Trip meter:
Displays the distance the vehicl e has been driven since the meter
was last reset.
Trip meters “A” and “B” can be used to record and display different
distances independently.
Distance after start:
Displays the distance driven after the fuel cell system was started.
Blank:
A blank is displayed.

Outside temperature display
●In the following situations, the correct outside temperature may not be dis-
played, or the display may take longer than normal to change.
• When stopped, or driving at low speeds (less than 16 mph [25 km/h])
• When the outside temperature has changed suddenly (at the entrance/
exit of a garage, tunnel, etc.)
● When “--” or “E” is displayed, the system may be malfunctioning.
Take your vehicle to your Toyota dealer.
■ Liquid crystal display
Small spots or light spots may appear on the display. This phenomenon is
characteristic of liquid crystal displays, and there is no problem continuing to
use the display.
■ Customization
The meter display can be customized on the multi-information display.
(Customizable features: →P. 439)
NOTICE
■To prevent damage to the fuel cell system and its components
This vehicle is equipped with high coolant temperature warning light
(→ P. 369), instead of, coolant temperature gauge.
The fuel cell system may be overheating if the high coolant temperature
warning light flashes or comes on. In this case, immediately stop the
vehicle in a safe place, and check the fuel cell system after it has cooled
completely.

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.

■Inverter coolant selection
Only use “Toyota Super Long Life Coolant” or a similar high quality ethylene
glycol based non-silicate, non-amine, non-nitrite, and non-borate coolant with
long-life hybrid organic acid technology.
“Toyota Super Long Life Coolant” is a mixture of 50% coolant and 50% deion-
ized water. (Minimum temperature: -31 °F [-35° C])
For more details about inverter coolant, contact your Toyota dealer.
Fuel cell stack coolant
NOTICE
■ Fuel cell stack coolant
An exclusive coolant for the fuel cell system is filled in the fuel cell stack
coolant reservoir. Do not use any substitute. It may damage your vehicle.
