There are cases where even

when the camera is washed it will

not be completed cleaned due to

the dirt. In such cases, rinse off

the camera with large amounts of

water and wipe off the water drop-

lets with soft cloth dampened with

water.

●

Reflective items, such as water,

snow, etc., which are attached in

the vicinity of the camera cannot

be washed as the camera clean-

ing sprays washer fluid to the

camera lens.

■

For fuel-efficient driving

Keep in mind that fuel cell vehicles

are similar to conventional vehicles,

and it is necessary to refrain from

activities such as sudden accelera-

tion. (



P.88)

■

Driving in the rain

●

Drive carefully when it is raining,

because visibility will be reduced,

the windows may become fogged-

up, and the road will be slippery.

●

Drive carefully when it starts to

rain, because the road surface will

be especially slippery.

●

Refrain from high speeds when

driving on an expressway in the

rain, because there may be a

layer of water between the tires

and the road surface, preventing

the steering and brakes from

operating properly.

■

ECO Accelerator Guidance

(



P.102)

Eco-friendly driving may be

achieved more easily by staying

within the zone of Eco acceleration.

Also, by staying within the zone of

Eco acceleration, it will be easier to

obtain a good Eco score.

●

When starting off:

Gradually depress the accelerator
pedal to stay within the zone of Eco
acceleration and accelerate to the
desired speed. By refraining from
excessive acceleration, a good eco
start score will be obtained.

●

When driving:

After accelerating to the desired
speed, release the accelerator
pedal and drive at a stable speed
while staying within the zone of Eco
acceleration. By staying within the
zone of Eco acceleration, a good
eco cruise score will be obtained.

●

When stopping:

By starting to release the accelera-
tor pedal early before decelerating,
a good eco stop score will be
obtained.

■

Restraining the fuel cell system

output (Brake Override System)

●

When the accelerator and brake

pedals are depressed at the same

time, the fuel cell system output

may be restrained.

●

A warning message is displayed

on the multi-information display

and head-up display (if equipped)

while the system is operating.

Breaking in your new Toyota

To extend the life of the vehicle,

observing the following precautions

is recommended:

●

For the first 186 miles (300 km):

Avoid sudden stops.

●

For the first 621 miles (1000 km):

• Do not drive at extremely high

speeds.

• Avoid sudden acceleration.

• Do not drive continuously in low

gears.

• Do not drive at a constant speed

for extended periods.

■

Drum-in-disc type parking

brake system

Your vehicle has a drum-in-disc type

parking brake system. This type of

brake system needs bedding-down

of the brake shoes periodically or

whenever the parking brake shoes

and/or drum are replaced. Have

your Toyota dealer perform the bed-

ding down operation.

■

Operating your vehicle in a for-

eign country

Comply with the relevant vehicle

registration laws and confirm the

availability of the correct fuel.

(



P.485)

WARNING

Observe the following precau-

tions.

Failure to do so may result in

death or serious injury.

■

When starting the vehicle

Always keep your foot on the

brake pedal while stopped with

the “READY” indicator is illumi-

nated. This prevents the vehicle

from creeping.

■

When driving the vehicle

●

Do not drive if you 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 response in an emer-

gency, resulting in an accident.

●

The driver should pay extra

attention to pedestrians 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, drive with care

as pedestrians in the vicinity

may still not notice the vehicle if

the surrounding area is noisy.

WARNING

●

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 an emergency,

such as if it becomes impossible

to stop the vehicle in the normal

way:



P.434

●

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 failure, 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.

●

Sudden acceleration or regen-

erative braking due to shifting

could cause the vehicle to skid.

●

After driving through a puddle,

lightly depress the brake pedal

to make sure that the brakes

are functioning properly. Wet

brake pads may prevent the

brakes from functioning prop-

erly. If the brakes on only one

side are wet and not functioning

properly, steering control may

be affected.

■

When shifting the shift posi-

tion

●

Do not let the vehicle roll back-

ward while a forward driving

position is selected, or roll for-

ward while the shift position is in

R.

Doing so may result in an acci-

dent or damage to the vehicle.

●

Do not shift the shift position to

P while the vehicle is moving.

Doing so can damage the trans-

mission and may result in a loss

of vehicle control.

●

Do not shift the shift position to

R while the vehicle is moving

forward.

Doing so can damage the trans-

mission and may result in a loss

of vehicle control.

●

Do not shift the shift position to

a driving position while the vehi-

cle is moving backward.

Doing so can damage the trans-

mission and may result in a loss

of vehicle control.

164

5-1. Before driving

Owners Manual_USA_M62102_en

WARNING

●

Changing the shift position to N

while the vehicle is moving will

disengage the fuel cell system.

Regenerative braking is not

available with the fuel cell sys-

tem disengaged.

●

Be careful not to change the

shift position with the accelera-

tor pedal depressed. Changing

the shift position to any posi-

tions other than P or N may lead

to unexpected rapid accelera-

tion of the vehicle that may

cause an accident and result in

death or serious injury.

After changing the shift position,

make sure to confirm the cur-

rent shift position displayed on

the shift position indicator inside

the meter.

■

If you hear a squealing or

scraping noise (brake pad

wear limit indicators)

Have the brake pads checked and

replaced by your Toyota dealer as

soon as possible.

Rotor damage may result if the

pads are not replaced when

needed.

It is dangerous to drive the vehicle

when the wear limits of the brake

pads and/or those of the brake

discs are exceeded.

■

When the vehicle is stopped

●

Do not depress the accelerator

pedal unnecessarily.

If the shift position is in any

position other than P or N, the

vehicle may accelerate sud-

denly and unexpectedly, caus-

ing an accident.

●

In order to prevent accidents

due to the vehicle rolling away,

always keep depressing the

brake pedal while stopped with

the “READY” indicator is illumi-

nated, and apply the parking

brake as necessary.

●

If the vehicle is stopped on an

incline, in order to prevent acci-

dents caused by the vehicle roll-

ing forward or backward, always

depress the brake pedal and

securely apply the parking

brake as needed.

■

When the vehicle is parked

●

Do not leave glasses, cigarette

lighters, spray cans, or soft

drink cans in the vehicle when it

is in the sun.

Doing so may result in the fol-

lowing:

• Gas may leak from a cigarette

lighter or spray can, and may

lead to a fire.

• The temperature inside the

vehicle may cause the plastic

lenses and plastic material of

glasses to deform or crack.

• Soft drink cans may fracture,

causing the contents to spray

over the interior of the vehicle,

and may also cause a short cir-

cuit in the vehicle’s electrical

components.

●

Do not leave cigarette lighters in

the vehicle. If a cigarette lighter

is in a place such as the glove

box or on the floor, it may be lit

accidentally when luggage is

loaded or the seat is adjusted,

causing a fire.

WARNING

●

Do not attach adhesive discs to

the windshield or windows. Do

not place containers such as air

fresheners on the instrument

panel or dashboard. Adhesive

discs or containers may act as

lenses, causing a fire in the

vehicle.

●

Do not leave a door or window

open if the curved glass is

coated with a metallized film

such as a silver-colored one.

Reflected sunlight may cause

the glass to act as a lens, caus-

ing a fire.

●

Always apply the parking brake,

shift the shift position to P, stop

the fuel cell system and lock the

vehicle.

Do not leave the vehicle unat-

tended while the “READY” indi-

cator is illuminated.

If the vehicle is parked with the

shift position in P but the park-

ing brake is not set, the vehicle

may start to move, possibly

leading to an accident.

■

When taking a nap in the vehi-

cle

Always turn the fuel cell system

off. Otherwise, if you accidentally

move the shift lever or depress

the accelerator pedal, causing the

vehicle to unintentionally move,

which can lead to an accident,

resulting in death or serious injury.

■

When braking

●

When the brakes are wet, drive

more cautiously.

Braking distance increases

when the brakes are wet, and

this may cause one side of the

vehicle to brake differently than

the other side. Also, the parking

brake may not securely hold the

vehicle.

●

If the electronically controlled

brake system does not operate,

do not follow other vehicles

closely and avoid hills or sharp

turns that require braking.

In this case, braking is still pos-

sible, but the brake pedal

should be depressed more

firmly than usual. Also, the brak-

ing distance will increase. Have

your brakes fixed immediately.

●

The brake system consists of 2

or more individual hydraulic sys-

tems; if one of the systems fails,

the other(s) will still operate. In

this case, the brake pedal

should be depressed more

firmly than usual and the brak-

ing distance will increase. Have

your brakes fixed immediately.

NOTICE

■

When driving the vehicle

●

Do not depress the accelerator

and brake pedals at the same

time during driving, as this may

restrain the fuel cell system out-

put.

●

Do not use the accelerator

pedal or depress the accelera-

tor and brake pedals at the

same time to hold the vehicle on

a hill.

■

When parking the vehicle

Always set the parking brake, and

shift the shift position to P. Failure

to do so may cause the vehicle to

move or the vehicle may acceler-

ate suddenly if the accelerator

pedal is accidentally depressed.

Cargo capacity depends on the
total weight of the occupants.
(Cargo capacity) = (Total load
capacity) — (Total weight of
occupants)
Steps for Determining Correct
Load Limit —
(1) Locate the statement “The
combined weight of occupants
and cargo should never exceed
XXX kg or XXX lbs.” on your
vehicle’s placard.
(2) Determine the combined
weight of the driver and passen-
gers that will be riding in your
vehicle.
(3) Subtract the combined
weight of the driver and passen-
gers from XXX kg or XXX lbs.
(4) The resulting figure equals
the available amount of cargo
and luggage load capacity.
For example, if the “XXX”
amount equals 1400 lbs. and
there will be five 150 lb passen-
gers in your vehicle, the amount
of available cargo and luggage
load capacity is 650 lbs. (1400 −

750 (5



150) = 650 lbs.)

(5) Determine the combined
weight of luggage and cargo
being loaded on the vehicle.
That weight may not safely
exceed the available cargo and
luggage load capacity calcu-
lated in Step 4.
(6) If your vehicle will be towing
a trailer, load from your trailer
will be transferred to your vehi-
cle. Consult this manual to
determine how this reduces the
available cargo and luggage
load capacity of your vehicle.

As shown in the example above,
if the number of occupants
increases, the cargo and lug-
gage load will be reduced by an
amount that equals the
increased weight due to the
additional occupants. In other
words, if an increase in the num-
ber of occupants causes an
excess of the total load capacity
(combined weight of occupants
plus cargo and luggage load),
you must reduce the cargo and
luggage on your vehicle.

Conditions to turn the high

beams on/off automatically

●

When all of the following condi-

tions are met, the high beams will

be turned on automatically (after

approximately 1 second):

• The vehicle speed is approxi-

mately 21 mph (34 km/h) or more.

• The area ahead of the vehicle is

dark.

• There are no vehicles ahead with

headlights or tail lights turned on.

• There are few streetlights on the

road ahead.

●

If any of the following conditions

are met, the high beams will turn

off automatically:

• The vehicle speed is below

approximately 17 mph (27 km/h).

• The area ahead of the vehicle is

not dark.

• Vehicles ahead have their head-

lights or tail lights turned on.

• There are many streetlights on the

road ahead.

■

Front camera detection infor-

mation

●

The high beams may not be auto-

matically turned off in the following

situations:

• When a vehicle suddenly appears

from around a curve

• When the vehicle is cut in front of

by another vehicle

• When vehicles ahead cannot be

detected due to repeated curves,

road dividers or roadside trees

• When vehicles ahead appear in a

faraway lane on a wide road

• When the lights of vehicles ahead

are not on

●

The high beams may be turned off

if a vehicle ahead that is using fog

lights without its headlights turned

on is detected.

●

House lights, street lights, traffic

signals, and illuminated billboards

or signs and other reflective

objects may cause the high

beams to change to the low

beams, or the low beams to

remain on.

●

The following factors may affect

the amount of time taken for the

high beams to turn on or off:

• The brightness of the headlights,

fog lights, and tail lights of vehi-

cles ahead

• The movement and direction of

vehicles ahead

• When a vehicle ahead only has

operational lights on one side

• When a vehicle ahead is a two-

wheeled vehicle

• The condition of the road (gradi-

ent, curve, condition of the road

surface, etc.)

• The number of passengers and

amount of luggage in the vehicle

●

The high beams may turn on or off

unexpectedly.

●

Bicycles or similar vehicles may

not be detected.

●

In the following situations the sys-

tem may not be able to correctly

detect the surrounding brightness

level. This may cause the low

beams to remain on or the high

beams to flash or dazzle pedestri-

ans or vehicles ahead. In such a

case, it is necessary to manually

switch between the high and low

beams.

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.



Refer to the Mirai Station

888-869-6828 (for Cana-
dian 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.

power switch is in ON, the fuel door

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 nozzle 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.

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 remove. 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 material 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.
