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.464)
If a warning message is shown
on the multi-information display,
read the message and follow the
instructions.

■If a warning light comes on, a
warning message is displayed,
or the 12-volt battery connec-
tion is disconnected
The fuel cell system may not be
able to restart.
If the “READY” indicator does not
come on, even when the start pro-
cedure is repeated, contact your
Toyota dealer.
There are air intake vents on
each side of the rear seatback
with the purpose of cooling the
traction battery. If the vents are
blocked, it may interfere with the
cooling of the traction battery.
If input/output of the traction battery
becomes limited and the distance
that the vehicle can be driven using
the traction motor is reduced, the
fuel economy may be reduced.

NOTICE
■Traction battery air intake
vents
●Make sure not to block the air
intake vents with anything, such
as cover, or luggage. The
input/output of t he traction bat-
tery may be restricted, leading
to a reduction in traction battery
output and a malfunction.
●Periodically clean the air intake
vents to prevent them from clog-
ging. ( P.433)
●Do not get water or foreign
materials in the air intake vents
as this may cause a short circuit
and damage the traction bat-
tery.

Indicator to Eco area on the
multi-information display can
extend your driving range.
( P.103, 108)
Drive your vehicle smoothly.
Avoid abrupt acceleration and
deceleration.
Mild acceleration and decelera-
tion can help curb wasteful fuel
consumption.
If the brakes are operated gently
and in a timely manner, a
greater amount of electrical
energy can be regenerated
when slowing down.
Repeated acceleration and
deceleration, as well as long
waits at traffic lights, will lead to decreased fuel economy. Check
traffic reports before leaving and
avoid delays as much as possi-
ble. When driving in a con-
gested traffic situations, gently
release the brake pedal to allow
the vehicle to move forward
slightly while avoiding overuse
of the accelerator pedal. Doing
so can help control excessive
fuel consumption.
Similar to an electric vehicle, a
fuel cell electric vehicle uses the
most fuel in high output driving
such as driving on a steep uphill
or at high speeds. Moderate the
vehicle speed and maintain a
steady speed.
When using Eco drive mode, the
torque corresponding to the
accelerator pedal depression
amount can be generated more
smoothly than it is in normal
conditions. In addition, the oper-
ation of the air conditioning sys-
tem (heating/cooling) will be
minimized, improving the fuel
economy. (
P.320)
Use the air conditioning only
when necessary. Doing so

can help reduce excessive
fuel consumption.
In summer: When the ambient
temperature is high, use the
recirculated air mode. Doing
so will help to reduce the bur-
den on the air conditioning
system and reduce fuel con-
sumption as well.
In winter: Avoid excess heat-
ing. Use the seat heater (if
equipped) or steering heater
(if equipped) to minimize the
need for cabin heating
(P.351).
Using eco air conditioning
mode, this helps curb fuel
consumption even with the air
conditioning system turned
on. ( P.334, 341)
Make sure to check the tire infla-
tion pressure frequently.
Improper tire inflation pressure
can cause poor fuel economy.
Also, as snow tires can cause
large amounts of friction, their
use on dry roads can lead to
poor fuel economy. Use tires
that are appropriate for the sea-
son.
Carrying heavy luggage will lead
to reduced fuel economy. Install-
ing a large roof rack will also reduce fuel economy.

WARNING
■If a safety system warning
light does not come on
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 system s 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 you r Toyota dealer
immediately if this occurs.
NOTICE
■To prevent damage to the fuel
cell system and its compo-
nents
This vehicle is equipped with high
coolant temperature warning light
( P.490), instead of, coolant tem-
perature gauge.
The fuel cell sys tem may be over-
heating if the high coolant tem-
perature warning light flashes or
comes on. In this case, immedi-
ately stop the vehicle in a safe
place, and check the fuel cell sys-
tem after it has cooled completely.
