Quick Reference Guide
In Case of a Crash
●If a vehicle fire occurs, leaked hydrogen gas may ignite. Stay far away from the vehicle
and call the local fire department.
To extinguish a vehicle fire, use a large amount of water, dry chemical fire extinguisher
(Class A, B, or C), or carbon dioxide fire extinguisher. With an inadequate amount of
water, a fire cannot be put out completely. Never attempt to extinguish a vehicle fire
with a small amount of water.
●If your vehicle needs to be towed, make sure it is done with all the wheels lifted using the
flat bed equipment. If the front wheels are touching the ground, the rotating tires will
force the electric motor to spin, which in turn, may damage the power system,
transmission, etc.
WARNING
If the body of the vehicle is seriously
damaged or deformed in a crash, hydrogen
gas may leak out from the vehicle. Keep
flammable sources, such as a lit cigarette or
warning flares, away from the vehicle. 2If Hydrogen Gas is Leaking (P513)
Also, high voltage parts and/or the cables
(orange) connecting them may be exposed
as a result of a crash. Stay clear of these
parts as you may be electrocuted.
If the vehicle catches fire, leaked hydrogen
gas may ignite. Stay far away from the
vehicle and report to the fire department
that a vehicle containing hydrogen tanks is
on fire.
The system is designed so that in the event
that the vehicle catches fire, the gas inside
the tanks will be released through the tank
valves, thereby ensuring that pressure
within the tanks does not build up. This gas
is released toward the rear of the vehicle in
a downward direction. Do not attempt to
extinguish the fire from behind the vehicle
as the exiting gas may ignite into a flame.

Quick Reference Guide
VSA® On and Off (P 416)
●The Vehicle Stability AssistTM (VSA ®)
system helps stabilize the vehicle during
cornering and helps maintain traction
while accelerating on loose or slippery
road surfaces.
●VSA ® comes on automatically every time
you turn on the power system.
●To partially disable or fully restore VSA ®
function, press and ho ld the button until
you hear a beep.
CMBSTM On and Off
(P 438)
●When a possible frontal collision is likely
unavoidable, the CMBSTM can help you to
reduce the vehicle speed and the severity
of the collision.
●To turn the CMBSTM on or off, press and
hold the button until you hear a beep.
Tire Pressure Monitoring
System (TPMS)
(P 418)
●Detects a change in tire conditions and
overall dimensions due to decrease in tire
pressures.
●The TPMS is turned on automatically
every time you turn on the power system.
●A calibration procedure must be
performed when certain conditions arise.
Refueling (P 447)
aSet the power mode
to OFF.
bPress the hydrogen
fuel lid release
button on the
driver’s door to open
the fuel lid.
cRemove the dust cap
inside the hydrogen
fuel lid.
dStart refueling.
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 compliant 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 exceed the supp ly pressure of the filling station.
If you use an H35 dispenser, you will be able to fill only half of the tank.

Maintenance (P 451)
Under the Hood (P 459)
●Check inverter coolant and windshield washer fluid. Add
when necessary.
●Check brake fluid.●Check the 12-volt battery condition monthly.
aPull the hood release handle under the corner of the
dashboard.
bLocate the hood latch lever, push it to the side, and then
raise the hood. Once you have raised the hood slightly, you
can release the lever.
cWhen finished, close the hood and make sure it is firmly

Why does a beeper sound
when I walk away from the
vehicle after I close the
door?The beeper sounds if you move outside the walk away auto lock
operating range before the door completely closes.
2Locking the doors and trunk (Walk away auto lock ®) (P138)
Why does the beeper
sound when I start driving?The beeper sounds when the driver and/or front passenger are
not wearing their seat belts.
Pressing the electric
parking brake switch does
not release the parking
brake. Why?Press the electric parking brake switch with the brake pedal
depressed.
I’m seeing an amber
indicator of a tire with an
exclamation point. What is
that?The Tire Pressure Monitoring Syst em (TPMS) needs attention. If
you recently inflated or changed a tire, you have to recalibrate
the system.
u
TPMS Calibration (P 418)
Depressing the accelerator
pedal does not release the
parking brake
automatically. Why?●Fasten the driver’s seat belt.
●Check if the transmission is in (P or (N. If so, select any other
position.

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 re gularly scheduled maintenance.
■Do not leave children unattended in the vehicle
Children, pets and people needing assistan ce 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 wh ich they and/or another person(s) can be
injured or killed. Also, depending on the am bient temperature, the temperature of
the interior may reach extreme levels, which ca n result in harm or death. Even if the
climate control system is on, never leave them in the vehicle unattended as the
climate control system can shut off at any time.
