■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
842-1. Fuel cell electric vehicle
Owners Manual_USA_M62064_enhydrogen tanks or valves need to
be disposed.
■Fuel cell stack coolant
●Fuel cell stack coolant uses a spe-
cifically-designed fluid with high
electrical insulation properties, in
order to safely cool the high-volt-
age fuel cell stack.
●Never add water or other coolants
to the fuel cell st
ack cooling sys-
tem, as they will cause permanent
damage.
●Consult your Toyota dealer for
replenishing or changing the fuel
cell stack coolant.
■Ion filter
●An ion filter is inst alled in the cool-
ant lines for the fuel cell stack, in
order to maintain the normal insu-
lation properties of the coolant.
●It is necessary to periodically
change the ion filter. ( P.466)
Contact your Toyota dealer for this
periodic maintenance.
■Tailpipe
●When the power switch is turned
off and the fuel cell system is
stopped ( P.182) after driving,
exhaust water is discharged. Be
careful when standing behind the
vehicle to avoid dripping or spray-
ing.
●It is possible to manually purge
the exhaust. Thi s may be desir-
able, for instance, before parking
in a garage. This is done by press-
ing the H
2O switch. ( P.196)
●On cold days, water vapor in the
exhaust may appe ar as a white
mist emitted from the tailpipe. This
is not a malfunction. A white mist
may be emitted from the vehicle
side depending on the wind direc-
tion. If it is a concern, consult with
a Toyota dealer.
●If the tailpipe is blocked, the fuel
cell system will stop.
●In the following state when cold, a white mist may be emitted. Water
vapor is being emitted as a sys-
tem protection and it is not a mal-
function.
• If several minutes have passed after opening the fuel lid, such as
refueling.
• Several hours have passed after the power switch was turned off.
■Hydrogen detectors
When the power switch is turned to
ON, the hydrogen detectors are
activated.
■Power output restriction
When the power output is restricted,
the vehicle may fa il to accelerate or
even decelerate, even though the
accelerator pedal is depressed. If a
safe driving speed cannot be main-
tained, stop the ve hicle in a safe
place away from the traffic. This
may be caused by the following con-
ditions:
●The coolant temperature may be
too high. This can be caused by
driving conditions such as
repeated sudden acceleration and
deceleration, continuous driving
on an incline, continuous driving
at high altitudes with a high load,
etc. In such situations, “FCV sys-
tem overheated Output power
reduced” is displayed on the multi-
information display, and the power
output is restricted. Once the cool-
ant returns to normal temperature,
the power output will retu rn to nor-
mal. ( P.464)
●The remaining fuel may be low.
After the low fuel level warning
light comes on, the output power
will be gradually restricted in order
to extend the possible driving dis-
tance. Once getting to this point,
the remaining driving distance
possible is short. Immediately refill
the vehicle with hydrogen.
●On cold days, the low fuel level
warning light comes on faster than
usual and the output power is
restricted.

Interior features
humidity sensor detects fog on the
windshield and controls the air con-
ditioning system to prevent fog.
■Outside/recirculated air mode
●Setting to the r ecirculated air
mode temporarily is recom-
mended in preventing dirty air
from entering the vehicle interior
and helping to c ool the vehicle
when the outside air temperature
is high.
●Outside/recirculated air mode may
automatically switch depending on
the temperature setting or the
inside temperature.
■When the outside temperature
falls to nearly 32°F (0°C)
The dehumidification function may
not operate even when “A/C” switch
is selected.
■Operation of the air condition-
ing system in Eco drive mode
●In Eco drive mode, the air condi-
tioning system is controlled as fol-
lows to prioritize fuel efficiency:
• Fuel cell system and compressor
operation controlled to restrict
heating/cooling capacity
• Fan speed restr icted when auto-
matic mode is selected
●To improve air co nditioning perfor-
mance, perform the following
operations:
• Adjust the fan speed
• Turn off Eco drive mode ( P.320)
• Turn off Eco air conditioning mode
●When the driving mode is set to
Eco drive mode, the Eco air condi-
tioning mode will be turned on
automatically. Even in this case,
the Eco air conditioning mode can
be turned off by s electing the Eco
air conditioning mode switch.
■When cleaning the air condi-
tioning control panel
Touch switches may respond when
cleaning. Turn the power switch to
OFF before proceeding with clean-
ing.
■Ventilation and air conditioning
odors
●To let fresh air in, set the air condi-
tioning system to the outside air
mode.
●During use, various odors from
inside and outside the vehicle may
enter into and accumulate in the
air conditioning system. This may
then cause odor to be emitted
from the vents.
●In order to suppr ess odors that
occur when the air conditioning
system starts, the air flow mode
may change to blow air to the feet
or air may stop blowing for a short
period of time immediately after
the air conditioning system is
started in automatic mode.
●When parking, the system auto-
matically switches to outside air
mode to encourage better air cir-
culation throughout the vehicle,
helping to reduce odors that occur
when starting the vehicle.
