MIRAI_OM_USA_OM62073UThis vehicle is equipped with an event data recorder (EDR). The
main pur-
pose of an EDR is to record, in certain crash or near crash-lik e situations,
such as an air bag deployment or hitting a road obstacle, data that will assist
in understanding how a vehicle’s systems performed. The EDR is designed to
record data related to vehicle dynamics and safety systems for a short period
of time, typically 30 seconds or less.
The EDR in this vehicle is designed to record such data as:
• How various systems in your vehicle were operating;
• Whether or not the driver and passenger safety belts were buckled/fas-tened;
• How far (if at all) the driver was depressing the accelerator and/or brake pedal; and,
• How fast the vehicle was traveling.
These data can help provide a better understanding of the circu mstances in
which crashes and injuries occur.
NOTE: EDR data are recorded by your vehicle only if a non-trivi al crash situ-
ation occurs; no data are recorded by the EDR under normal driv ing condi-
tions and no personal data (e.g., name, gender, age, and crash location) are
recorded. However, other parties, such as law enforcement, could combine
the EDR data with the type of personally identifying data routi nely acquired
during a crash investigation.
To read data recorded by an EDR, special equipment is required, and access
to the vehicle or the EDR is needed. In addition to the vehicle manufacturer,
other parties, such as law enforcement, that have the special e quipment, can
read the information if they have access to the vehicle or the EDR.
●Disclosure of the EDR data
Toyota will not disclose the data recorded in an EDR to a third party except
when:
• An agreement from the vehicle’s owner (or the lessee for a lea sed vehi-
cle) is obtained
• In response to an official request by the police, a court of l aw or a govern-
ment agency
• For use by Toyota in a lawsuit
However, if necessary, Toyota may:
• Use the data for research on vehicle safety performance
• Disclose the data to a third party for research purposes witho ut disclosing
information about the specific vehicle or vehicle owner

Fuel cell system
MIRAI_OM_USA_OM62073U■
Regenerative braking
In the following situations, the vehicle generates electricity from the decelera-
tion of the vehicle while driving.
● The accelerator pedal is released while driving with the shift position in D.
● The brake pedal is depressed while driving with the shift posit ion in D.
■ Charging the traction battery
Because electricity generated by the fuel cell stack and regene rative braking
charges the traction battery, the battery does not need to be c harged from an
outside source. However, if the vehicle is left parked for a lo ng time, the trac-
tion battery will slowly discharge. For this reason, be sure to drive the vehicle
at least once every few months for at least 30 minutes or 10 mi les (16 km).
If the traction battery becomes fully discharged and you are unable to start
the fuel cell system, contact your Toyota dealer.
■ Charging the 12-volt battery
P. 454
■ Parking
Because there is no engine sound or vibration, it is easy to mistake the fuel
cell vehicle for being off when it is actually still running, as indicated by the
“READY” indicator being illuminated. For safety, make sure to a lways shift the
shift position to P and apply the parking brake when parked.
■ Maintenance, repair, recycling, and disposal
Contact your Toyota dealer regarding maintenance, repair, recyc ling, and dis-
posal. Do not dispose of the vehicle or any of its components y ourself.
• Humming sound
• High pitch soundOperation of the motor
Sounds may come from the motor com-
partment.
(In particular, sounds may be heard when
accelerating or decelerating.)
Blowing and draining soundExhaust water or air is being purgedSounds may come from the rear of the
vehicle.
May also occur periodically while parked
when it is cold to prevent freezing.
(Sounds may be heard when vehicle is
stopped, fuel cell system is stopped, park-
ing.)

WARNING
■Precautions in case of an accident
In the event of an accident, observe the following precautions. Failure to do
so can cause fire or electric shocks, resulting in death or ser ious injury.
● Stop the vehicle in a safe place to prevent subsequent accident s. Shift the
shift position to P and apply the parking brake.
● Check for hydrogen gas leakage.
Hydrogen leaks will cause a warning message to be shown on the multi-
information display. Larger leaks may also be audible.
● If a large amount of hydrogen gas leaking is noticed, turn off the power
switch, exit the vehicle, and stay far away from it. Display wa rning signs
and keep sources of fire away from the vehicle. If possible, get assistance.
When the above is done, immediately contact your Toyota dealer.
● Do not touch the high-voltage parts, cables (orange), or connec tors.
● If electric wires are exposed inside or outside your vehicle, an electric
shock may occur. Never touch exposed electric wires.
● If a fluid leak occurs, do not touch the fluid as it may be the strong alkaline
electrolyte from the traction battery. If it comes into contact with your skin
or eyes, wash it off immediately with a large amount of water, and seek
immediate medical attention.
● In case of a vehicle fire, the hydrogen gas in the hydrogen tan ks is
released via the hydrogen tank valves toward the rear of the ve hicle
angled downward, in order to reduce the damage to the hydrogen tanks.
Keep away from the vehicle.
● If a vehicle fire occurs, it can be extinguished with a Class A , B, or C fire
extinguisher. If using water, apply a large amount from a hydrant.
● If your vehicle needs to be towed, do so with the front wheels lifted. If the
wheels are touching the ground, the electric motor (traction mo tor) may
continue to generate electricity. This may cause a fire.

Advice for driving fuel cell vehicles
◆Fuel cell system indicator usage
Maintaining the fuel cell system indicator to Eco area on the
multi-information display can extend your driving range. (P. 120)
◆Accelerator pedal/brake pedal operation
Drive the vehicle smoothly. Avo id abrupt acceleration and decel era-
tion.
Mild acceleration and decelerati on can help curb wasteful fuel con-
sumption.
◆When braking
Make sure to depress the brake gently and allow for a long stop ping
distance. This enables collectio n of more electrical energy gen er-
ated during deceleration.
◆Heavy traffic
Repeated acceleration and deceleration as well as long stops at
traffic lights, will decrease fuel economy. Check traffic reports
ahead of time and avoid traffic jams as much as possible. If ca ught
in a traffic jam, gently release the brake pedal to allow the v ehicle to
move forward slowly while avoiding overuse of the accelerator
pedal to help curb wasteful fuel consumption.
◆Driving with high power output
Similar to an electric vehicle, a fuel cell vehicle uses the mo st fuel in
high output driving such as driving on a steep uphill or at hig h
speeds. Moderate the vehicle speed and maintain a steady speed.
To maximize fuel economy and ra nge, pay attention to the fol-
lowing:
