1-1.For safe use
Use only floor mats designed
specifically for vehicles of the
same model and model year as
your vehicle. Fix them securely
in place onto the carpet.
1Insert the retaining hooks
(clips) into the floor mat eye-
lets.
2 Turn the upper knob of each
retaining hook (clip) to secure
the floor mats in place.
Always align the marks . The shape of the retaining hooks
(clips) may differ from that shown in
the illustration.
Before driving
Observe the following
before starting off in the
vehicle to ensure safety of
driving.
Installing floor mats
WARNING
Observe the following precau-
tions.
Failure to do so may cause the
driver’s floor mat to slip, possibly
interfering with t
he pedals while
driving. An unexpectedly high
speed may result or it may
become difficult to stop the vehi-
cle. This could lead to an acci-
dent, resulting in death or serious
injury.
■When installing the driver’s
floor mat
●Do not use floor mats designed
for other models or different
model year vehicles, even if
they are Toyota Genuine floor
mats.
●Only use floor mats designed
for the driver’s seat.
●Always install the floor mat
securely using the retaining
hooks (clips) provided.
●Do not use two or more floor
mats on top of each other.
●Do not place the floor mat bot-
tom-side up or upside-down.
281-1. For safe use
Owners Manual_USA_M62084_en
Make sure that all occupants are
wearing their seat belts before
driving the vehicle. (P.29)
Use a child restraint system
appropriate for the child until the child becomes large enough to
properly wear the vehicle’s seat
belt. (
P.52)
Make sure that you can see
backward clearly by adjusting
the inside and outside rear view
mirrors properly. ( P.143, 144,
154)
WARNING
■For safe driving
Observe the following precau-
tions.
Failure to do so m ay result in
death or serious injury.
●Do not adjust the position of the
driver’s seat while driving.
Doing so could cause the driver
to lose control of the vehicle.
●Do not place a cushion between
the driver or passenger and the
seatback.
A cushion may prevent correct
posture from being achieved,
and reduce the effectiveness of
the seat belt and head restraint.
●Do not place anything under the
front seats.
Objects placed under the front
seats may become jammed in
the seat tracks and stop the
seat from locking in place. This
may lead to an accident and the
adjustment mechanism may
also be damaged.
●Always observe the legal speed
limit when driving on public
roads.
●When driving over long dis-
tances, take regular breaks
before you start to feel tired.
Also, if you feel tired or sleepy
while driving, do not force your-
self to continue driving and take
a break immediately.

■System maintenance
The vehicle has a maintenance-free
type immobilizer system.
■Conditions that may cause the
system to malfunction
●If the grip portion of the key is in
contact with a metallic object
●If the key is in close proximity to or
touching a key to the security sys-
tem (key with a built-in transpon-
der chip) of another vehicle
■Certification
P.543
Immobilizer system
The vehicle’s keys have
built-in transponder chips
that prevent the fuel cell
system from starting if a key
has not been previously
registered in the vehicle’s
on-board computer.
Never leave the keys inside
the vehicle when you leave
the vehicle.
This system is designed to
help prevent vehicle theft
but does not guarantee
absolute security against all
vehicle thefts.

■Sounds unique to the fuel cell vehicle
Due to the design of y our fuel cell vehicle, there are various relays, valves
and pumps which under normal driving conditions will produce so unds. This
is a normal characteristic of th e vehicle and does not indicate a malfunction.
Furthermore, these sounds may differ based on usage environment or con-
dition.
■Maintenance, repair, recycling,
and disposal
Contact your Toyota dealer regard- ing maintenance, repair, recycling,
and disposal. Do n
ot dispose of the
vehicle or any of its components

■If “Hydrogen Leakage Detected
Visit Your Dealer” is displayed
on the multi-information display
A small amount of hydrogen gas
may be leaking. Have the vehicle
inspected immediately at the near-
est Toyota dealer.
■If “FCV System Shutdown Due
to Hydrogen Leakage Stop in a
Safe Place See Owner’s Man-
ual” is displayed on the multi-
information display
●Hydrogen gas may be leaking.
When hydrogen gas is leaking or
some other malfunction is
detected: P. 8 5
●The air conditioning system will
shut off automatically.
■Running out of fuel
When the vehicle has run out of fuel
and the fuel cell system cannot be
started, refuel the vehicle until the
low fuel level warning light ( P.447)
turns off before try ing to restart. It
may not be able to restart if the refu-
eled amount is too low.
■Fuel cell stack
●Depending on the usage environ-
ment, the fuel ce ll power output
may decline over the life of the
vehicle. However, this will have
almost no effect on driving perfor-
mance.
●In the following situations, the fuel
cell power output may decline
faster than normal driving:
• Extended use in areas with high amounts of dust
• Extended use in areas with high levels of sulfur (such as volcanoes
or hot springs). • Extended use in areas with high
concentrations o f the following
substances:
-Organic solvents, such as paint and
thinner
-Amine-related materials such as
ammonia
-Chlorinated substances such as
salt air and snow-melting agent
• Salt water gets into the air cleaner filter
It is recommended to replace the
air cleaner filter and clean the sur-
rounding components. Have the
vehicle inspected at your Toyota
dealer
• The number of times the fuel cell system is started and stopped is
excessively high
• Extended use in freezing tem- peratures
• Fill fuel with impurities which do not follow ISO-14687
■Hydrogen tanks
●The hydrogen tanks are the high-
pressure storage containers that
are filled with co mpressed hydro-
gen gas. The vehicle can be refu-
eled at hydrogen stations.
●The hydrogen tanks have an expi-
ration date. Vehicles with expired
hydrogen tanks must not be
driven or refueled until the hydro-
gen tanks are replaced. The expi-
ration date is written on the inside
of the fuel door. Consult your Toy-
ota dealer.
●Consult your Toyota dealer if the
hydrogen tanks or valves need to
be disposed.

Fuel cell system
When a certain level of impact
from an accident is detected, the
fuel cell system is shut down
and the system shuts out the
high voltage.
Also, the fuel supply is stopped
from the hydrogen tank valves.
If the emergency shut off system
activates, your vehicle will not
restart. To restart the fuel cell
system, contact your Toyota
dealer.
A message is automatically dis-
played when a malfunction
occurs in the fuel cell system or
an improper operation is
attempted. ( P.451)
If a warning message is shown
on the multi-information display,
read the message and follow the
instructions.
