MIRAI_OM_USA_OM62073U
WARNING
■When filling
Observe the following precautions while fueling the vehicle.
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
● Turn the power switch off before fueling.
● Ensure the hydrogen gas nozzle is locked onto the vehicle recep tacle
before filling. This can be done by pulling on the hydrogen gas nozzle to
check that it cannot be pulled off.
Failure to do so may result in injury or damage to the hydrogen gas nozzle
or vehicle.
● Do not smoke while fueling.
● Because the fuel is cold, the hydrogen gas nozzle and vehicle r eceptacle
surface will become cold, and frost may develop. After fueling is com-
pleted, remove the hydrogen gas nozzle by the plastic handle on ly. Do not
touch any other parts of the hydrogen gas nozzle or vehicle rec eptacle
with bare hands immediately after fueling, as frostbite may occ ur.
NOTICE
■When filling
● Fuel only with compressed hydrogen gas at stations compliant with the
Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) J2601 fueling protocol or laws that
may supersede such SAE protocols.
If improper fuels are used, the fuel cell stack will be damaged .
● Do not swing or drop the hydrogen gas nozzle, or subject it to a large
amount of force. Doing so may cause damage.
● If the hydrogen gas nozzle cannot be removed after fueling, it may be fro-
zen to the vehicle receptacle. Wait for the hydrogen gas nozzle to thaw
before attempting to remove. Do not pull or rotate the hydrogen gas nozzle
forcibly. Failure to follow these precautions may cause damage.
● Be sure to replace the cap after filling. If foreign material g ets in the vehicle
receptacle, it may cause damage.
● Do not put anything sharp, such as a screwdriver, blade, or any foreign
object into the mouth of the vehicle receptacle. If the vehicle receptacle is
damaged, hydrogen gas may leak during fueling.
● If you notice anything unusual about the vehicle receptacle, pl ease notify
your Toyota dealer.
● If you notice anything unusual with the hydrogen dispenser or h ydrogen
gas nozzle, please notify the hydrogen station operator. Contac t informa-
tion is usually displayed on the dispenser.

If a warning message is displayed on the multi-information disp lay
A system may be temporarily unavailable or there may be a malfu nction in
the system.
● In the following situations, perform the actions specified in t he table. When
the normal operating conditions are detected, the message will disappear
and the system will become operational.
If the message does not disappear, contact your Toyota dealer.
SituationActions
When the area around a sensor is
covered with dirt, moisture (fogged
up, covered with condensation, ice,
etc.), or other foreign matterTo clean the part of the windshield in
front of the front camera, use the
windshield wipers or the windshield
defogger of the air conditioning sys-
tem ( P. 309)
When the temperature around the
front camera is outside of the opera-
tional range, such as when the vehi-
cle is in the sun or in an extremely
cold environment
If the front camera is hot, such as
after the vehicle had been parked in
the sun, use the air conditioning sys-
tem to decrease the temperature
around the front camera.
If a sunshade was used when the
vehicle was parked, depending on its
type, the sunlight reflected from the
surface of the sunshade may cause
the temperature of the front camera
to become excessively high.
If the front camera is cold, such after
the vehicle is parked in an extremely
cold environment, use the air condi-
tioning system to increase the tem-
perature around the front camera.
The area in front of the front camera
is obstructed, such as when the hood
is open or a sticker is attached to the
part of the windshield in front of the
front camera.
Close the hood, remove the sticker,
etc. to clear the obstruction.
