Maintenance and care
Tire pressure gauge
1 Remove the tire valve cap.
2 Press the tip of the tire pres-
sure gauge onto the tire
valve.
3 Read the pressure using the
gauge gradations.
4 If the tire inflation pressure is
not at the recommended
level, adjust the pressure.
If you add too much air, press
the center of the valve to
deflate.
5 After completing the tire infla-
tion pressure measurement
and adjustment, apply soapy
water to the valve and check
for leakage.
6 Put the tire valve cap back
on.
■Tire inflation pressure check
interval
You should check tire inflation pres-
sure every two weeks, or at least
once a month. Do not forget to
check the spare.
■Effects of incorrect tire inflation
pressure
Driving with incorrect tire inflation
pressure may result in the following:
●Reduced fuel economy
●Reduced driving comfort and poor
handling
●Reduced tire life due to wear
●Reduced safety
●Damage to the drive train
If a tire needs frequent inflating,
have it checked by your Toyota
dealer.
■Instructions for checking tire
inflation pressure
When checking tire inflation pres-
sure, observe the following:
●Check only when the tires are
cold.
If your vehicle has been parked for
at least 3 hours or has not been
driven for more than 1 mile or 1.5
km, you will get an accurate cold
tire inflation pressure reading.
●Always use a tire pressure gauge.
It is difficult to j udge if a tire is
properly inflated based only on its
appearance.
●It is normal for the tire inflation
pressure to be higher after driving
as heat is generated in the tire. Do
not reduce tire inflation pressure
after driving.
●Never exceed the vehicle capacity
weight.
Passengers and luggage weight
should be placed so that the vehi-
cle is balanced.
WARNING
■Proper inflation is critical to
save tire performance
Keep your tires properly inflated.
If the tires are not properly
inflated, the following conditions
may occur which could lead to an
accident resulting in death or seri-
ous injury:
●Excessive wear
●Uneven wear
●Poor handling
●Possibility of blowouts resulting
from overheated tires
●Air leaking from between tire
and wheel
●Wheel deformation and/or tire
damage

areas with heavy traffic flow, early
replacement may be required. (For
scheduled maintenance information,
please refer to the “Scheduled
Maintenance Guide” or “Owner’s
Manual Supplement”.)
■If air flow from the vents
decreases dramatically
The filter may be clogged. Check
the filter and replace if necessary.
■Air conditioning filter with
deodorizing function
When fragrances are placed in your
vehicle, the deodorizing effect may
become significantly weakened in a
short period.
When an air conditioning odor
comes out continuously, replace the
air conditioning filter.
■Scheduled maintenance of the
air intake vents is necessary
when
In some situations such as when the
vehicle is used frequently or in
heavy traffic or dusty areas, the air
intake vents may need to be
cleaned more regularly.
For details, refer to the “Owner’s
Warranty Information Booklet” or
“Owner’s Manual Supplement”.
■Cleaning the air intake vents
Improper handling of the air intake
vent covers and filt ers may result in
damage to them. If you have any
concerns about cleaning the filter,
contact your Toyota dealer.
NOTICE
■When using the air condition-
ing system
Make sure that a filter is always
installed.
Using the air conditioning system
without a filter may cause damage
to the system.
■To prevent damage to the fil-
ter cover
When moving the filter cover in
the direction of arrow to release
the fitting, pay attention not to
apply excessive force to the
claws. Otherwise, the claws may
be damaged.
Cleaning the traction
batter y air intake
vents
To prevent the fuel economy
from being affected, visually
inspect the traction battery
air intake vents periodically
for clogs. If it is dusty or
clogged or if “Maintenance
Required for Traction Bat-
tery Cooling Parts See

■The tire pressure warning light
may come on due to natural
causes
The tire pressure warning light may
come on due to natural causes such
as natural air leaks and tire inflation
pressure changes caused by tem-
perature. In this case, adjusting the
tire inflation pressure will turn off the
warning light (after a few minutes).
■Conditions that the tire pres-
sure warning system may not
function properly
 P. 4 1 9
WARNING
■If both the ABS and the brake
system warning lights remain
on
Stop your vehicle in a safe place
immediately and contact your Toy-
ota dealer.
The vehicle will become
extremely unstable during brak-
ing, and the ABS system may fail,
which could cause an accident
resulting in death or serious injury.
■When the electric power
steering system warning light
comes on
When the light comes on yellow,
the assist to the power steering is
restricted. When the light comes
on red, the assist to the power
steering is lost and handling oper-
ations of the steering wheel
become extremely heavy.
When steering wheel operations
are heavier than usual, grip the
steering wheel firmly and operate
it using more force than usual.
■If the tire pr essure warning
light comes on
Be sure to observe the following
precautions.
Failure to do so could cause a
loss of vehicle control and result
in death or serious injury.
●Check and adjust the tire infla-
tion pressure immediately.
●If the tire pressure warning light
comes on even after tire infla-
tion pressure adjustment, it is
probable that you have a flat
tire. Have the flat tire replaced
by the nearest Toyota dealer.
●Avoid abrupt maneuvering and
braking.
If the vehicle tires deteriorate,
you could lose control of the
steering wheel or the brakes.
■If a blowout or sudden air
leakage should occur
The tire pressure warning system
may not activate immediately.
■Maintenance of the tires
Each tire, includi ng the spare (if
provided), should be checked
monthly when cold and inflated to
the inflation pressure recom-
mended by the vehicle manufac-
turer on the vehicle placard or tire
inflation pressure label (tire and
load information label). (If your
vehicle has tires of a different size
than the size indicated on the
vehicle placard or tire inflation
pressure label [tire and load infor-
mation label], you should deter-
mine the proper tire inflation
pressure for those tires.)

When trouble arises
able.
6 Start the fuel cell system and
turn the air conditioning sys-
tem on to check that the radi-
ator cooling fan operate and
to check for coolant leaks
from the radiator or hoses.
The fan operate when the air condi-
tioning system is turned on immedi-
ately after a cold s tart. Confirm that
the fan is operating by checking the
fan sound and air flow. If it is diffi-
cult to check these, turn the air con-
ditioning system on and off
repeatedly.
(The fan may not o perate in freez-
ing temperatures.)
7 If the fan is not operating:
Stop the fuel cell system
immediately and contact your
Toyota dealer.
If the fan is operating:
Have the vehicle inspected at
the nearest Toyota dealer.
WARNING
■When inspecting under the
hood of your vehicle
Observe the following precau-
tions.
Failure to do so may result in seri-
ous injury such as burns.
●If steam is seen coming from
under the hood, do not open the
hood until the steam has sub-
sided. The fuel cell unit com-
partment may be very hot.
●Even if fuel cell system has
stopped, the cooling fan may
begin to move suddenly.
Do not touch or approach the
rotating parts of the fan. Doing
so may lead to fingers, clothes
or tools getting caught, resulting
in injury.
●Do not loosen the coolant reser-
voir caps or radia tor cap, while
the fuel cell system and radiator
are hot.
High temperature steam or
coolant could spray out.
NOTICE
■When inverter coolant
Add coolant slowly after the fuel
cell system has cooled down suffi-
ciently. Adding inverter cool cool-
ant to a hot fuel cell system too
quickly can cause damage to the
fuel cell system.
■To prevent damage to the
cooling system
Observe the following precau-
tions:
●Avoid contaminating the coolant
with foreign matter (such as
sand or dust etc.).
●Do not use any coolant additive
with inverter coolant.
●For replacement of the fuel cell
stack coolant, contact your Toy-
ota dealer.
●Do not use water or any other
coolant when refilling the fuel
cell stack coolant. Also, do not
use any additive agents for the
coolant.
