Driving
WARNING
■When driving the vehicle
●Do not drive if y ou are unfamil-
iar with the location of the brake
and accelerator pedals to avoid
depressing the wrong pedal.
• Accidentally depressing the accelerator pedal instead of the
brake pedal will result in sudden
acceleration that may lead to an
accident.
• When backing up, you may twist your body around, leading to dif-
ficulty in operating the pedals.
Make sure to operate the pedals
properly.
• Make sure to keep a correct driving posture even when mov-
ing the vehicle only slightly. This
allows you to depress the brake
and accelerator pedals properly.
• Depress the brake pedal using your right foot. Depressing the
brake pedal using your left foot
may delay respon se in an emer-
gency, resulting in an accident.
●The driver should pay extra
attention to pedes trians as this
vehicle is powered only by an
electric motor (traction motor).
As there is no engine noise, the
pedestrians may misjudge the
vehicle’s movement. Even with
the acoustic vehicle alerting
system activate, d rive with care
as pedestrians in the vicinity
may still not notice the vehicle if
the surrounding area is noisy.
●During normal driving, do not
turn off the fuel cell system.
Turning the fuel cell system off
while driving will not cause loss
of steering or braking control,
however, power assist to the
steering will be lost. This will
make it more difficult to steer
smoothly, so you should pull
over and stop the vehicle as
soon as it is safe to do so.
In the event of a n emergency,
such as if it becomes impossible
to stop the vehicle in the normal
way: P. 4 4 6
●Using the brakes continuously
may cause the brakes to over-
heat and lose effectiveness
when driving down a steep hill.
●Do not adjust the positions of
the steering wheel, the seat, or
the inside or outside rear view
mirrors while driving.
Doing so may result in a loss of
vehicle control.
●Always check that all passen-
gers’ arms, heads or other parts
of their body are not outside the
vehicle.
●Do not drive in excess of the
speed limit. Even if the legal
speed limit permits it, do not
drive over 85 mph (140 km/h)
unless your vehicle has high-
speed capability tires. Driving
over 85 mph (140 km/h) may
result in tire fa ilure, loss of con-
trol and possible injury. Be sure
to consult a tire dealer to deter-
mine whether the tires on your
vehicle are high-speed capabil-
ity tires or not before driving at
such speeds.
■When driving on slippery
road surfaces
●Sudden braking, acceleration
and steering may cause tire
slippage and reduce your ability
to control the vehicle.

■Fuel types
P.497
■Notes on fueling
●Fueling will not be possible if the
pressure inside the vehicle’s
hydrogen tanks is higher than the
supply pressure of the hydrogen
station. If the hydrogen tanks are
more than half full, the vehicle will
be unable to fuel at a H35 dis-
penser. A hydrogen station with a
H70 dispenser (supply pressure of
10150 psi) [70 MPa, 714 kgf/cm
2,
700 bar] is necessary to com-
pletely fill hydrogen tanks.
●If the fueling cannot be completed
due to trouble with the station
equipment, call the number indi-
cated on the equipment.
Opening the fuel door
Fuel with compressed
hydrogen gas only at hydro-
gen stations.
Fuel at hydrogen stations
conforming with the Society
of Automotive Engineers
(SAE) J2601 fueling proto-
col or laws that may super-
sede such SAE protocols.

(for Canadian owners).
Observe any notices or
instructions shown at hydro-
gen stations.
The filling time and amount
of fuel may depend on out-
side temperature and the
equipment at that hydrogen
station.
Vehicles with expired hydro-
gen tanks must not be used.
Check P.83 to learn how
and when to check the expi-
ration. Consult your Toyota
dealer.
