■Sounds unique to the fuel cell electric vehicle
Due to the design of y our fuel cell electric vehicle, there are various relays,
valves and pumps whic h under normal driving conditions will pro duce
sounds. This is a normal characte ristic of the vehicle and does not indicate a
malfunction.
Furthermore, these sounds may differ based on usage environment or con-
dition.
Noticeable soundsSource of the sounds
Clunking, clicking and
clackingOperation of relays and hydrogen tank valves
(Sounds may be heard wh en starting or stop-
ping the fuel cell system.)
Knocking
The parking lock is engaged
(Sounds may be heard when pressing the P
position switch or stopp ing the fuel cell sys-
tem.)
Whooshing, squealingGas is flowing through the nozzle and valves
(Sounds may be heard when filling the fuel.)
High pitch sound
 Pulsing sound
 Whooshing sound
Operation of the pumps
(In particular, sounds may be heard when
starting the fuel cell s ystem, accelerating from
a stop, or pressing the H
2O switch. The sound
may be louder when in Br mode or when the
vehicle decelerates during dynamic radar
cruise control.)
 Humming sound
 High pitch soundOperation of the motor
(In particular, sounds may be heard when
accelerating or decelerating.)
Blowing and draining
sound
Exhaust water or air is being purged
May also occur periodically while parked when
it is cold to p revent freezing.
(Sounds may be hear d when vehicle is
stopped, fuel cell system is stopped or while
parked)

■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 7
●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.460)
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

■Electromagnetic waves (EMF)
●High-voltage parts and cables in
fuel cell electric vehicles have an
electromagnetic shielding configu-
ration, and therefore emit approxi-
mately the same amount of
electromagnetic waves as con-
ventional gasoli ne-powered vehi-
cles or home electronic
appliances.
●Your vehicle may cause sound
interference in so me third party-
produced radio parts.
■Starting the fuel cell system in
an extremely col d environment
When the tracti on battery is extremely cold (below approxi-
mately -22˚F [-30˚C]) under the
influence of outsi
de temperature, it
may not be possible to start the fuel
cell system. In this case, try to start
the fuel cell system again after the
temperature of the traction battery
increases due to the outside tem-
perature increase etc.
■Traction battery
The traction battery has a limited
service life. The lifespan of the trac-
tion battery can change according to
driving style and driving conditions.
■Hydrogen Gas Characteristics
●Hydrogen gas ignites more easily than gasoline, however it is l ight than air
and disperses quickly. The hydrogen system and tank sufficientl y serve as
a counter-measure to prevent gas leaks. However, if by chance there is a
gas leak, the hydrogen gas is rapidly diluted until it is no lo nger flammable.
●As with gasoline and natural gas, hydrogen gas is not dangerous if it is
handled properly. Thoroughly rea d and understand the characteristics
shown in the table below.

Indicator to Eco area on the
multi-information display can

( 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.
