WARNING

■

When installing a child

restraint system

Observe the following precau-

tions.

Failure to do so may result in

death or serious injury.

●

Firmly attach the top tether

strap and make sure that the

belt is not twisted.

●

Do not attach the top tether

strap to anything other than the

anchor bracket.

●

Follow all installation instruc-

tions provided by the child

restraint system manufacturer.

●

Be sure to have the top tether

strap pass over the top of the

head restraint. If the belt passes

below the head restraint, it is

possible that the child restraint

system may not be securely

fixed.

●

If the seat is adjusted, reconfirm

the security of the child restraint

system.

NOTICE

■

Anchor brackets (for top

tether strap)

When not in use, make certain to

close the lid. If it remains open,

the lid may be damaged.

Automatic Collision Notifi-
cation

In case of either airbag deploy-
ment or severe rear-end colli-
sion, the system is designed to
automatically call the response
center. The responding agent
receives the vehicle’s location
and attempts to speak with the
vehicle occupants to assess the
level of emergency. If the occu-

pants are unable to communi-
cate, the agent automatically
treats the call as an emergency,
contacts the nearest emer-
gency services provider to
describe the situation, and
requests that assistance be sent
to the location.

■

Stolen Vehicle Location

If your vehicle is stolen, Safety
Connect can work with local
authorities to assist them in
locating and recovering the
vehicle. After filing a police
report, call the Safety Connect
response center at 1-800-331-
4331 in the United States, 1-
877-855-8377 in Puerto Rico or
1-888-869-6828 in Canada, and
follow the prompts for Safety
Connect to initiate this service.
In addition to assisting law
enforcement with recovery of a
stolen vehicle, Safety-Connect-
equipped vehicle location data
may, under certain circum-
stances, be shared with third
parties to locate your vehicle.
Further information is available
at Toyota.com.

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.

Immobilizer system

The vehicle’s keys have
built-in transponder chips
that prevent the fuel cell
system from starting if a key
has not been previously
registered in the vehicle’s

Never leave the keys inside
the vehicle when you leave
the vehicle.

This system is designed to
help prevent vehicle theft
but does not guarantee
absolute security against all
vehicle thefts.

Fuel cell vehicle characteristics

Fuel cell vehicles efficiently use electricity, which is gener-
ated by a chemical reaction between hydrogen and oxygen in
a fuel cell stack, and electricity charged in a traction battery
to drive the electric motor (traction motor).

The fuel is H

2

(compressed hydrogen gas), so the exhaust is

only water and water vapor. As they do not release emissions
such as CO

2

(Carbon Dioxide) and NO

x

(Nitrogen Oxides),

fuel cell vehicles are environmentally friendly vehicles.

Sounds unique to the fuel cell vehicle

Due to the design of your fuel cell vehicle, there are various relays, valves

and pumps which under normal driving conditions will produce sounds. This

is a normal characteristic of the vehicle and does not indicate a malfunction.
Furthermore, these sounds may differ based on usage environment or con-

dition.

■

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

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.161)

As there are no engine sounds
and the vehicle is quiet, opera-
tion noises unique to fuel cell
vehicle components may be
heard. (

P.75)

■

Regenerative braking

In the following situations, 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 battery becomes fully

discharged and you are unable to

start the fuel cell system, contact

your Toyota dealer.

■

Charging the 12-volt battery



P.473

■

Parking

Because there is no engine sound

or vibration, it is easy to mistake the

fuel cell vehicle for being off when it

is actually still running (“READY”

indicator is illuminated). 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.172)

Operation noises (



P.75),

purge process (



P.175), 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. (

in order to warn people nearby

■

How to hear the warning

In the following cases, 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 more 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 to enhance
fuel economy. For details about
Predictive efficient drive, refer to
“NAVIGATION AND MULTIME-



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.102) on the multi-

information display will be
turned off to encourage the
driver to reduce excessive
acceleration.

The following types of controls
are performed based on data
such as road information during
route guidance by the naviga-

the vehicle efficiently uses elec-
tricity.

When there is a long downhill
slope along the route, the sys-
tem reduces the traction bat-
tery level before reaching the
slope to help ensure charging
