by installing non-genuine Toyota
products.
The installation of a mobile two-
way radio system in your vehicle
could affect electronic systems
such as:
Fuel cell system
Advanced Drive
Toyota Safety Sense 2.5 +
with Teammate
Toyota Safety Sense 2.5 +
Anti-lock brake system
Vehicle dynamics integrated
management
SRS airbag system
Seat belt pretensioner system
Be sure to check with your Toy-
ota dealer for precautionary
measures or special instructions
regarding installation of a mobile
two-way radio system.
High voltage parts and cables
on the fuel cell electric vehicles
emit approximately the same
amount of electromagnetic
waves as the conventional gas-
oline powered vehicles or home
electronic appliances despite of
their electromagnetic shielding.
Unwanted noise may occur in
the reception of the mobile two-
way radio. The vehicle is equipped with
sophisticated computers that will
record certain data, such as:
• Engine speed / Electric motor
speed (traction motor speed)
• Accelerator status
• Brake status
• Vehicle speed
• Operation status of the driving assist systems
• Images from the cameras
Your vehicle is equipped with cam-
eras. Contact your Toyota dealer for
the location of re cording cameras.
The recorded data varies
according to the vehicle grade
level and options with which it is
equipped.
These computers do not record
conversations or sounds, and
only record images outside of
the vehicle in certain situations.
Data Transmission
Your vehicle may transmit the data
recorded in these computers to
Toyota without notification to you.
Data usage
Toyota may use the data recorded
in this computer to diagnose mal-
functions, conduct research and
development, and improve quality.
Toyota will not disclose the
recorded data to a third party
except:
• With the consen t of the vehicle
owner or with the consent of the
lessee if the vehicle is leased

Important! Read this informa-
tion about exposure to radio fre-
quency signals before using
Safety Connect;
The Safety Connect system
installed in your vehicle is a low-
power radio transmitter and
receiver. It receives and also
sends out radio frequency (RF)
signals. In August 1996, the Federal
Communications Commission
(FCC) adopted RF exposure
guidelines with safety levels for
mobile wireless phones. Those
guidelines are consistent with
the safety standards previously
set by the following U.S. and
international standards bodies.
ANSI (American National
Standards Institute) C95.1
[1992]
NCRP (National Council on
Radiation Protection and
Measurement) Report 86
[1986]
ICNIRP (International Com-
mission on Non-Ionizing Radi-
ation Protection) [1996]
Those standards were based on
comprehensive and periodic
evaluations of the relevant sci-
entific literature. Over 120 scien-
tists, engineers, and physicians
from universities, and govern-
ment health agencies and
industries reviewed the avail-
able body of research to
develop the ANSI Standard
(C95.1).
The design of Safety Connect
complies with the FCC guide-
lines in addition to those stan-
dards.

■Maintenance, repair, recycling,
and disposal
Contact your Toyota dealer regard-
ing maintenance, repair, recycling,
and disposal. Do not dispose of the
vehicle or any of its components
yourself.
The electric motor (traction
motor) allows smooth, powerful
takeoff and acceleration. This
vehicle drives similarly to a gas-
oline vehicle without any special
actions by the driver. ( P.169)
As there are no engine sounds
and the vehicle is quiet, opera-
tion noises unique to fuel cell
electric vehicle components
may be heard. ( P.77)
■Regenerative braking
In the following si tuations, the vehi-
cle generates electricity from the
deceleration of the vehicle while
driving.
●The accelerator pedal is released
while driving with the shift position
in D.
●The brake pedal is depressed
while driving with the shift position
in D.
■Charging the traction battery
Because electricity generated by the
fuel cell stack and regenerative
braking charges the traction battery,
the battery does not need to be
charged from an outside source.
However, if the vehicle is left parked
for a long time, the traction battery
will slowly discharge. For this rea-
son, be sure to drive the vehicle at
least once every few months for at
least 30 minutes or 10 miles (16
km). If the traction ba
ttery becomes fully
discharged and yo u are unable to
start the fuel cell system, contact
your Toyota dealer.
■Charging the 12-volt battery
P.487
■Sounds and vibrations specific
to a fuel cell e lectric vehicle
Because there is no engine sound
or vibration, it is easy to mistake the
fuel cell electric vehicle for being off
when it is actually still running, as
indicated by the “READY” indicator
being illumina ted. For safety, make
sure to always shift the shift position
to P and apply the parking brake
when parked.
The system may behave differ-
ently on cold days as it may be
performing a special cold-start
process to improve the start up
performance. ( P.180)
Operation noises ( P.77),
purge process ( P.182), etc.,
may differ from usual. However,
this is not a malfunction.
Compressed hydrogen gas fuel
can be filled at hydrogen sta-
tions.
More information about hydrogen
fuel and fueling can be found in the
“Opening the fuel door” section of
this manual. ( P.210)

Fuel cell system
Fuel cell electric vehicles do not
have engine sounds like gaso-
line vehicles. Therefore, a
sound that changes in accor-
dance with the driving speed,
will be played in order to warn
people nearby of the vehicle’s
approach. The sound will stop
when the vehicle speed
exceeds approximately 23 mph
(37 km/h).
■How to hear the warning
In the following ca ses, the acoustic
vehicle alerting system may be diffi-
cult for surrounding people to hear.
●In very noisy areas
●In the wind or the rain
Also, as the acoustic vehicle alerting
system is installed on the front of the
vehicle, it may be m ore difficult to
hear from the rear of the vehicle
compared to the front.
*: This function can only be used in
the mainland U.S.A. It cannot be
used in other states and territo-
ries, including Alaska and Hawaii.
This system operates based on
the driving situation and traffic
information to enhance fuel
economy.
For details about Predictive effi-
cient drive, refer to “MULTIME-
DIA OWNER’S MANUAL”.
■Predictive deceleration sup-
port
When the vehicle approaches
to predictive deceleration sup-
port points registered in the
navigation system, the refer-
ence operation range of
the ECO Accelerator Guid-
ance ( P.108) on the multi-
information display will be
turned off to encourage the
driver to reduce excessive
acceleration.

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.

Driving
WARNING
●Turn the power switch off before
fueling.
●Ensure the hydrogen gas noz-
zle is locked onto the vehicle
receptacle before filling. This
can be done by pulling on the
hydrogen gas no zzle to check
that it cannot be pulled off. Fail-
ure to do so may result in injury
or damage to the hydrogen gas
nozzle or vehicle.
●Do not smoke while fueling.
●Because the fuel is cold, the
hydrogen gas nozzle and vehi-
cle receptacle surface will
become cold, and frost may
develop. After fueling is com-
pleted, remove the hydrogen
gas nozzle by the plastic handle
only. Do not touch any other
parts of the hydrogen gas noz-
zle or vehicle receptacle with
bare hands immediately after
fueling, as frostbite may occur.
●Be sure to use hydrogen gas
nozzles at 350 bar/700 bar for
passenger vehicles.
Do not use hydrogen gas noz-
zles designed for commercial
vehicles. Check the instructions
at hydrogen station or ask the
station operator for assistance.
●Only fuel the vehicle at hydro-
gen stations designed for pas-
senger vehicles. Do not fuel the
vehicle at hydrogen stations
designed for forklifts, buses, or
trucks. Ask the station operator
for assistance.
NOTICE
■When filling
●Fuel only with compressed
hydrogen gas at stations com-
pliant with the Society of Auto-
motive Engineers (SAE) J2601
fueling protocol or laws that may
supersede such SAE protocols.
If improper fuels are used, the
fuel cell stack will be damaged.
●Do not swing or drop the hydro-
gen gas nozzle, or subject it to a
large amount of force. Doing so
may cause damage.
●If the hydrogen gas nozzle can-
not be removed after fueling, it
may be frozen to the vehicle
receptacle. Wait for the hydro-
gen gas nozzle to thaw before
attempting to r emove. Do not
pull or rotate the hydrogen gas
nozzle forcibly. Failure to follow
these precautions may cause
damage.
●Be sure to replace the cap after
filling. If foreign ma terial gets in
the vehicle receptacle, it may
cause damage.
●Do not put anything sharp, such
as a screwdriver, blade, or any
foreign object into the opening
of the vehicle receptacle. If the
vehicle receptacle is damaged,
hydrogen gas may leak during
fueling.
●If you notice anything unusual
about the vehicle receptacle,
please notify your Toyota
dealer.
●If you notice anything unusual
with the hydrogen dispenser or
hydrogen gas nozzle, please
notify the hydrogen station
operator. Contact information is
usually displayed on the dis-
penser.
2645-5. Using the driving support systems
Owners Manual_USA_M62064_en
■If “Parking Assist Unavailable”
is displayed on the multi-infor-
mation display
Water may be continuously flowing
over the sensor surface, such as in
a heavy rain. When the system
determines that it is normal, the sys-
tem will return to normal.
■Sensor detection information
●The sensor’s detection areas are
limited to the areas around the
vehicle’ front and rear bumpers.
●The following situations may occur
during use.
• Depending on the shape of the object and other factors, the
detection distance may shorten, or
detection may be impossible.
• Detection may be impossible if
static objects draw too close to the
sensor.
• There will be a short delay
between static object detection
and display (warning buzzer
sounds). Even at low speeds,
there is a possibilit y that the object
will come within 11.9 in. (30 cm)
before the display is shown and
the warning buzzer sounds.
• It might be difficult to hear the buzzer due to the volume of the
audio system or air flow noise of
the air conditioning system.
• It may be difficult to hear the
sound of this system due to the
buzzers of other systems.
■Objects which the system may
not be properly detected
The shape of the object may pre-
vent the sensor from detecting it.
Pay particular attention to the follow-
ing objects:
●Wires, fences, ropes, etc.
●Cotton, snow and other materials
that absorb sound waves
●Sharply-angled objects
●Low objects
●Tall objects with upper sections
projecting outwards in the direc- tion of your vehicle
■Situations in which the system
may not operate properly
Certain vehicle conditions and the
surrounding environment may affect
the ability of a sensor to correctly
detect objects. Part icular instances
where this may occur are listed
below.
●There is dirt, snow, water drops or
ice on a sensor. (Cleaning the
sensors will resolve this problem.)
●A sensor is froz en. (Thawing the
area will resolve this problem.)
In especially cold weather, if a
sensor is frozen the sensor dis-
play may be displayed abnormally,
or objects, such as a wall, may not
be detected.
●When a sensor or the area around
a sensor is extremely hot or cold.
●On an extremely bumpy road, on
an incline, on gravel, or on grass.
●When vehicle horns, vehicle
detectors, motorcycle engines, air
brakes of large vehicles, the clear-
ance sonar of ot her vehicles or
other devices which produce ultra-
sonic waves are near the vehicle
●A sensor is coated with a sheet of
spray or heavy rain.
●If objects draw too close to the
sensor.
●When a pedestrian is wearing
clothing that does not reflect ultra-
sonic waves (ex. skirts with gath-
ers or frills).
●When objects that are not perpen-
dicular to the ground, not perpen-
dicular to the vehicle traveling
