Fuel requirement: Compressed hydrogen gas
Hydrogen supply pressure: 70 MP a (10,153 psig) (at 59°F [15°C])
Hydrogen filling amount
*1: Approximately 11 lbs (5 kg) (at 70 MPa)
Hydrogen tanks capacity: 37.3 US gal (141.3 L) (at 70 MPa [10,153 psig])
*1:
A measured value when refueled at a hydrogen station with 70 MPa (10,153
psig) of supply pressure complaint with the SAE (J2601) fueling protocol.
Hydrogen Filling Station: To completely fi ll the hydrogen tank, you need to use a
hydrogen filling station that has an H70 di spenser, which is capable of supplying
pressures of up to 10,153 psig (70 MPa).
Refueling the vehicle is only possible if the pressure inside the hydrogen tank of
the vehicle does not exc eed the supply pressure of the filling station.
If you use an H35 dispenser, you will be able to fill only half of the tank.

uuFor Safe Driving uImportant Safety Precautions
Safe Driving
■Pay appropriate attention to the task of driving safely
Engaging in cell phone conversation or other activities that keep you from paying
close attention to the road, other vehicles, and pedestrians could lead to a crash.
Remember, situations can change quickly, and only you can decide when it is safe to
divert some attention away from driving.
■Control your speed
Excessive speed is a major factor in crash injuries and deaths. Generally, the higher
the speed, the greater the risk, but serious injuries can also occur at lower speeds.
Never drive faster than is safe for current conditions, regardless of the maximum
speed posted.
■Keep your vehicle in safe condition
Having a tire blowout or a mechanical failure can be extremely hazardous.
To reduce the possibility of such problems, check your tire pressures and condition
frequently, and perform all regul arly scheduled maintenance.
■Do not leave children unattended in the vehicle
Children left unattended in the vehicle may be injured if they activate one or more
of the vehicle controls. They may also cause the vehicle to move, resulting in a crash
in which the children and/or another pers on(s) can be injured or killed. Also,
depending on the ambient temperature, th e temperature of the interior may reach
extreme levels, which can re sult in injury or death.
Even if the climate control system is on, never leave children in the vehicle
unattended as the climate control system can shut off at any time.
