Fuel cell system
in order to warn people nearby
of the vehicle’s approach. The
sound will stop when the vehicle
speed exceeds approximately
23 mph (37 km/h).
■How to hear the warning
In the following ca ses, the acoustic
vehicle alerting system may be diffi-
cult for surrounding people to hear.
●In very noisy areas
●In the wind or the rain
Also, as the acoustic vehicle alerting
system is installed on the front of the
vehicle, it may be m ore difficult to
hear from the rear of the vehicle
compared to the front.
*: This function can only be used in
the mainland U.S.A. It cannot be
used in other states and territo-
ries, including Alaska and Hawaii.
This system operates based on
the driving situation to enhance
fuel economy. For details about
Predictive efficient drive, refer to
“NAVIGATION AND MULTIME-
DIA SYSTEM OWNER’S MAN-
UAL”.
■Predictive deceleration sup-
port
When the vehicle approaches
to predictive deceleration sup-
port points registered in the
navigation system, the refer-
ence operation range of the ECO Accelerator Guid-
ance (
P.102) on the multi-
information display will be
turned off to encourage the
driver to reduce excessive
acceleration.
The regenerative braking
force will be increased
according to the driving condi-
tions to more efficiently
charge the traction battery
after the accelerator pedal is
released.
■Predictive SOC* control
The following types of controls
are performed based on data
such as road information during
route guidance by the naviga-
tion system to help ensure that
the vehicle effici ently uses elec-
tricity.
When there is a long downhill
slope along the route, the sys-
tem reduces the traction bat-
tery level before reaching the
slope to help ensure charging
capacity for regenerative
braking while traveling down-
hill.

1905-2. Driving procedures
Owners Manual_USA_M62084_envehicle in frozen areas
●When the 12-volt battery terminals
are disconnected
and remain as
such in frozen areas
Operate the water release function
with the following p rocedure before-
hand to prevent water from freezing
in the system.
1 Turn the power switch to ON and
press the H
2O switch.
Check that the “A ctive Purge Mode
ON” message is displayed in the
multi-information display.
2 While depressing the brake,
press the power switch to start
the fuel cell system.
Check that the “READY” indicator
turns on.
3 Press the power switch to stop
the fuel cell system.
The water release is automatically
performed. (Longer than normal
water purge)
■Purging while parked
The water release function does not
completely prevent purging while
parked. The purge capacity while
parked changes depending on out-
side temperature and operating con-
ditions.
If the “READY” indicator continues
to remain on after water release has
been performed, w ater may be gen-
erated and purged when parked.
