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.

uuAirbags uAirbag System Components
Safe Driving
The front, driver’s knee, front side, and side
curtain airbags are deployed according to
the direction and severity of impact. Both
side curtain airbags are deployed in a
rollover. The airbag system includes:
aTwo SRS (Supplemental Restraint System)
front airbags. The driver’s airbag is stored
in the center of the steering wheel; the
front passenger’s airbag is stored in the
dashboard. Both are marked SRS
AIRBAG.
bDriver’s knee airbag. The knee airbag is
stored under the steering column. It is
marked SRS AIRBAG.
cTwo side airbags, one for the driver and
one for a front passenger. The airbags are
stored in the outer edges of the seat-
backs. Both are marked SIDE AIRBAG .
dTwo side curtain airbags, one for each
side of the vehicle. The airbags are stored
in the ceiling, above the side windows.
The front and rear pillars are marked
SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAG.
eAn electronic control unit that, when the
power mode is in ON, continually
monitors information about the various
impact sensors, seat and buckle sensors,
rollover sensor, airbag activators, seat
belt tensioners and other vehicle
information. During a crash event the
unit can record such information.
fAutomatic front seat belt tensioners. In
addition, the driver’s and front
passenger’s seat belt buckles incorporate
sensors that detect whether or not the
belts are fastened.
gDriver’s seat position sensor. This sensor
detects the driver’s seat slide position to
help determine the optimal deployment
of the driver’s airbag.
hWeight sensors in the front passenger’s
seat. The sensors are used for occupant
classification to activate or deactivate the
front passenger’s airbag.
iImpact sensors that can detect a
moderate-to-severe front or side impact.
jAn indicator on the dashboard that alerts
you that the front passenger’s front
airbag has been turned off.
kAn indicator on the instrument panel that
alerts you to a possib le problem with your
airbag system or seat belt tensioners.
lA rollover sensor that can detect if your
vehicle is about to roll over and signal the
control unit to deploy both side curtain
airbags.

uuAirbags uAirbag System Components
Safe DrivingAirbags can pose serious hazards. To do their job, airbags must inflate with
tremendous force. So, while airbags help sa ve lives, they can cause burns, bruises,
and other minor injuries, sometimes even fatal ones if occupants are not wearing
their seat belts properl y and sitting correctly.
What you should do: Always wear your seat belt properly, and sit upright and as
far back from the steering wheel as possi ble while allowing full control of the
vehicle. A front passenger should move their seat as far back from the dashboard as
possible.
Remember, however, that no safety system ca n prevent all injuries or deaths that
can occur in a severe crash, even when s eat belts are properly worn and the airbags
deploy.
Do not place hard or sharp objects between yourself and a front airbag.
Carrying hard or sharp objects on your lap, or driving with a pipe or other sharp
object in your mouth, can result in in juries if your front airbag inflates.
Do not attach or place objects on the front and driver’s knee airbag covers.
Objects on the covers marked SRS AIRBAG could interfere with the proper
operation of the airbags or be propelled inside the vehicle and hurt someone if the
airbags inflate.
■Important Facts About Your Airbags1 Important Facts About Your Airbags
Do not attempt to deactivate your airbags. Together,
airbags and seat belts pr ovide the best protection.
When driving, keep hands and arms out of the
deployment path of the fro nt airbag by holding each
side of the steering wheel. Do not cross an arm over
the airbag cover.
