Indicator to Eco area on the

( 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. (

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.

■Starting the fuel cell system
P. 1 8 0
■Driving
1 With the brake pedal
depressed, shift the shift
position to D.
Check that the shift position indica-
tor shows D.
2If the parking brake is set,
release the parking brake.
( P.191)
3 Gradually release the brake
pedal and gently depress the
accelerator pedal to acceler-
ate the vehicle.
■Stopping
1 Depress the brake pedal.
2 If necessary, set the parking
brake.
If the vehicle is to be stopped for an
extended period of time, shift the
shift position to P. ( P.185)
■Parking the vehicle
1 Depress the brake pedal to
stop the vehicle completely.
2 If the parking brake is
released, set the parking
brake. ( P.191) 3
Shift the shift position to P.
( P.185)
Check that the shif t position indica-
tor shows P and the parking brake
indicator is illuminated.
4 Press the power switch to
stop the fuel cell system.
5 Slowly release the brake
pedal.
6 Lock the door, making sure
that you have the electronic
key on your person.
If parking on a hill, block the wheels
as needed.
■Starting off on a steep
uphill
1 Firmly depress the brake
pedal and shift the shift posi-
tion to D.
The hill-start assist control will be
activated.
2Set the parking brake.
( P.191)
3 Release the brake pedal and
gently depress the accelera-
tor pedal to accelerate the
vehicle.
4 Release the parking brake.
( P.191)
■For fuel-efficient driving
Keep in mind that fuel cell electric
vehicles are simila r to conventional
vehicles, and it is necessary to
refrain from activities such as sud-
den acceleration. ( P. 9 1 )
■Driving in the rain
●Drive carefully whe n it is raining,
because visibility will be reduced,
the windows may become fogged-
Driving the vehicle
The following procedures
should be observed to
ensure safe driving:
Driving procedure

1705-1. Before driving
Owners Manual_USA_M62064_enup, and the
road will be slippery.
●Drive carefully whe n it starts to
rain, because the road surface will
be especially slippery.
●Refrain from high speeds when
driving on an expressway in the
rain, because there may be a
layer of water between the tires
and the road surface, preventing
the steering and brakes from
operating properly.
■ECO Accelerator Guidance
( P.108)
Eco-friendly driving may be
achieved more easily by staying
within the zone of Eco acceleration.
Also, by staying w ithin the zone of
Eco acceleration, i t will be easier to
obtain a good Eco score.
●When starting off:
Gradually depress the accelerator
pedal to stay withi n the zone of Eco
acceleration and accelerate to the
desired speed. By refraining from
excessive acceleration, a good eco
start score will be obtained.
●When driving:
After accelerating to the desired
speed, release the accelerator
pedal and drive at a stable speed
while staying within the zone of Eco
acceleration. By staying within the
zone of Eco acceleration, a good
eco cruise score will be obtained.
●When stopping:
By starting to release the accelera-
tor pedal early before decelerating,
a good eco stop score will be
obtained.
■Restraining the fuel cell system
output (Brake Override System)
●When the accelerator and brake
pedals are depressed at the same
time, the fuel cell system output
may be restrained.
●A warning message is displayed
on the multi-information display
while the system is operating.
■Breaking in your new Toyota
To extend the life of the vehicle,
observing the following precautions
is recommended:
●For the first 186 miles (300 km):
Avoid sudden stops.
●For the first 621 miles (1000 km):
• Do not drive at extremely high speeds.
• Avoid sudden acceleration.
• Do not drive continuously in low
gears.
• Do not drive at a constant speed
for extended periods.
■Drum-in-disc type parking
brake system
Your vehicle has a drum-in-disc type
parking brake system. This type of
brake system needs bedding-down
of the brake shoes periodically or
whenever the par king brake shoes
and/or drum are replaced. Have
your Toyota dealer perform the bed-
ding down operation.
■Operating your v ehicle in a for-
eign country
Comply with the relevant vehicle
registration laws and confirm the
availability of the correct fuel.
( P.497)
WARNING
Observe the following precau-
tions.
Failure to do so may result in
death or serious injury.
■When starting the vehicle
Always keep your foot on the
brake pedal while stopped with
the “READY” indica tor is illumi-
nated. This prevents the vehicle
from creeping.
