■High-voltage and high-temperature components
The fuel cell vehicle has high-voltage components (about 650 V
maximum) such as a fuel cell stack, traction battery, power con trol
unit, fuel cell converter, high-voltage cables (which are distinguished
from low-voltage cables by their orange covers), electric motor (trac-
tion motor), etc., and high-temperature parts such as the radiator for
cooling. Pay attention to all w arning labels attached to the vehicle.
This diagram is for illustrative purposes only and may differ f rom the actual
vehicle.

■Fuel cell stack coolant
●Fuel cell stack coolant uses a spe-
cifically-designed fluid with high
electrical insulation properties, in
order to safely cool the high-volt-
age fuel cell stack.
●Never add water or other coolants
to the fuel cell stack cooling sys-
tem, as they will cause permanent
damage.
●Consult your Toyota dealer for
replenishing or changing the fuel
cell stack coolant.
■Ion filter
●An ion filter is inst alled in the cool-
ant lines for the fuel cell stack, in
order to maintain the normal insu-
lation properties of the coolant.
●It is necessary to periodically
change the ion filter. ( P.454)
Contact your Toyota dealer for this
periodic maintenance.
■Tailpipe
●When the power switch is turned
off and the fuel cell system is
stopped ( P.174) after driving,
exhaust water is discharged. Be
careful when standing behind the
vehicle to avoid dripping or spray-
ing.
●It is possible to manually purge
the exhaust. Thi s may be desir-
able, for instance, before parking
in a garage. This is done by press-
ing the H
2O switch. ( P.189)
●On cold days, water vapor in the
exhaust may appe ar as a white
mist emitted from the tailpipe. This
is not a malfunction. A white mist
may be emitted from the vehicle
side depending on the wind direc-
tion. If it is a concern, consult with
a Toyota dealer.
●If the tailpipe is blocked, the fuel
cell system will stop.
●In the following state when cold, a
white mist may be emitted. Water
vapor is being emitted as a sys-
tem protection and it is not a mal- function.
• If several minutes have passed after opening the fuel lid, such as
refueling.
• Several hours have passed after the power switch was turned off.
■Hydrogen detectors
When the power switch is turned to
ON, the hydrogen detectors are
activated.
■Power output restriction
When the power output is restricted,
the vehicle may fa il to accelerate or
even decelerate, even though the
accelerator pedal is depressed. If a
safe driving speed cannot be main-
tained, stop the ve hicle in a safe
place away from the traffic. This
may be caused by the following con-
ditions:
●The coolant temperature may be
too high. This can be caused by
driving conditions such as
repeated sudden acceleration and
deceleration, continuous driving
on an incline, continuous driving
at high altitudes with a high load,
etc. In such situations, “FCV sys-
tem overheated Output power
reduced” is displayed on the multi-
information display, and the power
output is restricted. Once the cool-
ant returns to normal temperature,
the power output will retu rn to nor-
mal. ( P.452)
●The remaining fuel may be low.
After the low fuel level warning
light comes on, the output power
will be gradually restricted in order
to extend the possible driving dis-
tance. Once getting to this point,
the remaining driving distance
possible is short. Immediately refill
the vehicle with hydrogen.
●On cold days, the low fuel level
warning light comes on faster than
usual and the output power is
restricted.

Should a safety system light such
as the ABS and SRS warning light
not come on when you start the
fuel cell system, this could mean
that these systems are not avail-
able to help protect you in an acci-
dent, which could result in death
or serious injury. Have the vehicle
inspected by your Toyota dealer
immediately if this occurs.

WARNING
The fuel cell unit compartment
contains many mechanisms and
fluids that may move suddenly,
become hot, or become electri-
cally energized. To avoid death or
serious injury, observe the follow-
ing precautions.
■When working on the fuel cell
unit compartment
●Be careful not to touch the high-
voltage parts or hydrogen-
related parts.
●Make sure that the “READY”
indicator is off.
●Keep hands, clothing and tools
away from the moving fan.
●Be careful not to touch the
motor, inverter, radiator, etc.
right after driving as they may
be hot. Coolant and other fluids
may also be hot.
●Do not leave anything that may
burn easily, such as paper and
rags, in the fuel cell unit com-
partment.
ItemsParts and tools●Do not smoke, cause sparks or
expose an open flame to the 12-
volt battery. 12-volt battery
fumes are flammable.
●Be extremely cautious when
working on the 12-volt battery. It
contains poisonous and corro-
sive sulfuric acid.
●Take care because brake fluid
can harm your hands or eyes
and damage painted surfaces. If
fluid gets on your hands or in
your eyes, flush the affected
area with clean water immedi-
ately.
If you still experience discom-
fort, consult a doctor.
●Never touch, disassemble,
remove or replace the high-volt-
age parts, cables and their con-
nectors. It can cause severe
burns or electric shock that may
result in death or serious injury.
■When working near the elec-
tric cooling fan or radiator
grille
Be sure the power switch is off.
With the power switch in ON, the
electric cooling fa n may automati-
cally start to run if the air condi-
tioning is on and/or the coolant
temperature is high. ( P.398)
■Safety glasses
Wear safety glasses to prevent
flying or falling material, fluid
spray, etc. from getting in your
eyes.
NOTICE
■If you remove the air cleaner
filter
Driving with the air cleaner filter
removed may cause excessive
motor wear due to dirt in the air.
