Fuel cell vehicles use electricity, which is generated by a chemical rea\
ction
between hydrogen and oxygen in a fuel cell stack. Excess electricity is \
stored in
a traction battery that is used to power high voltage systems and assist\
on initial
acceleration.
The fuel is H
2 (compressed hydrogen gas), so the exhaust, when running, is
only water and water vapor. As they do not emit CO
2 (Carbon Dioxide) and NOx
(Nitrogen Oxides) at the tailpipe, fuel cell vehicles are considered z\
ero emission
vehicles.
NOTE: Fuel consumption and energy information of the Hydrogen Fuel Cell
System are shown on the Multi-Information Display and the multimedia
display.
Fill with fuel at hydrogen stations compliant with SAE J2601.
If you have questions about hydrogen station compliance, consult your Au\
thorized
Mirai Fuel Cell Toyota Dealer.
Observe the notices and cautions shown at the hydrogen station.
The filling time and amount may differ depending on the equipment of the\
hydrogen
station. It may make the possible driving distance shorter. -
Ensure the tire pressures are maintained at levels specified in the Owne\
r’s Manual.
- Drive the vehicle smoothly. Avoid abrupt acceleration and deceleration\
. - Avoid driving at speeds that are higher than necessary, especially on \
the highway.
- When possible, avoid sudden stops to maximize regenerative braking ene\
rgy.
- Minimize use of the air conditioning.
When you arrive at the station, prepare for fueling:
1) Ensure the vehicle is OFF and in Park with parking brake set.
2) Press the fuel door release button and refer to instructions in ‘\
Fuel door release button & cap section’ to prepare the vehicle to accept hydrogen fuel.\
Note: Fuel door will not open if the READY indicator is on. The fuel door will
automatically re-lock if you don’t open within 30 seconds.
3) Now you are ready to refuel. Outside the vehicle at the pump, use th\
e station’s best practice guidelines and instructions on how to refuel using their n\
ozzle.

ADJUSTING DISTANCE
This mode employs a radar sensor to detect the presence of a preceding v\
ehicle
up to approximately 328 ft (100 m) ahead, determines the current vehic\
le-to-vehicle
following distance and operates to maintain a preset following distance \
from the
vehicle ahead. These distances vary based on vehicle speed.
(1) (2) (3)
(1) Constant speed cruising when there are no vehicles ahead
The vehicle travels at the speed set by the driver. The desired vehicle-\
to-
vehicle distance can also be set by operating the vehicle-to-vehicle dis\
tance
control.
(2) Deceleration cruising and follow-up cruising when a preceding vehicle
driving slower than the set speed appears When a slower vehicle is detected running ahead of you, the system
automatically decelerates your vehicle. When a greater reduction in vehi\
cle
speed is necessary, the system may apply the brakes (the brake lights w\
ill
come on at this time). The system will respond to changes in the speed \
of the
vehicle ahead in order to maintain the vehicle-to-vehicle distance set b\
y the
driver. A warning tone warns you when the system cannot decelerate suffi\
ciently
to prevent your vehicle from closing in on the vehicle ahead.
Note: Vehicle-to-vehicle distance will close in when traveling on long downhill
slopes.

Star Safety System™
SAFETY & EMERGENCY FEATURES
Your vehicle comes standard with the Star Safety SystemTM, which combines
Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), Brake Assist (BA), Electronic Brake-force
Distribution (EBD), Smart Stop Technology (SST), Traction Control (\
TRAC) and
Vehicle Stability Control (VSC).
Refer to the Owner’s Manual for more details and important informatio\
n on
limitations to these systems.
Enhanced Vehicle Stability Control provides cooperative control of the A\
BS, TRAC,
VSC and EPS.
Enhanced VSC helps to maintain directional stability when loss of tracti\
on occurs
during a turn.
ENHANCED VEHICLE STABILITY CONTROL (VSC)
Toyota’s ABS sensors detect which wheels are locking up and limits wh\
eel lockup
by “pulsing” each wheel’s brakes independently. Pulsing release\
s brake pressure
repeatedly for fractions of a second. This helps the tires attain the tr\
action that
current road conditions will allow, helping you to stay in directional c\
ontrol.
ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM (ABS)
Toyota’s ABS technology has Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD\
) to help
maintain control and balance when braking. EBD responds to sudden stops \
by
redistributing brake force to enhance the braking effectiveness of all f\
our wheels.
ELECTRONIC BRAKE FORCE DISTRIBUTION (EBD)
Brake Assist is designed to detect sudden or “panic” braking, and \
then add braking
pressure to help decrease the vehicle’s stopping distance. When there\
’s only a split
second to react, Brake Assist can add additional brake pressure more qui\
ckly than
just the driver alone can.
BRAKE ASSIST (BA)
SMART STOP TECHNOLOGY (SST)
Smart Stop Technology automatically reduces motor power when the acceler\
ator
and brake pedals are pressed simultaneously under certain conditions.
SST engages when the accelerator is depressed first and the brakes are a\
pplied
firmly for longer than one-half second at speeds greater than five miles\
per hour.
SST doesn’t engage if the brake pedal is depressed before the acceler\
ator pedal,
allowing vehicles to start on a steep hill and safely accelerate without\
rolling
backward.
