WARNING
■Precautions in case of an accident
In the event of an accident, observe the following precautions. Failure to do
so can cause fire or electric shocks, resulting in death or ser ious injury.
● Stop the vehicle in a safe place to prevent subsequent accident s. Shift the
shift position to P and apply the parking brake.
● Check for hydrogen gas leakage.
Hydrogen leaks will cause a warning message to be shown on the multi-
information display. Larger leaks may also be audible.
● If a large amount of hydrogen gas leaking is noticed, turn off the power
switch, exit the vehicle, and stay far away from it. Display wa rning signs
and keep sources of fire away from the vehicle. If possible, get assistance.
When the above is done, immediately contact your Toyota dealer.
● Do not touch the high-voltage parts, cables (orange), or connec tors.
● If electric wires are exposed inside or outside your vehicle, an electric
shock may occur. Never touch exposed electric wires.
● If a fluid leak occurs, do not touch the fluid as it may be the strong alkaline
electrolyte from the traction battery. If it comes into contact with your skin
or eyes, wash it off immediately with a large amount of water, and seek
immediate medical attention.
● In case of a vehicle fire, the hydrogen gas in the hydrogen tan ks is
released via the hydrogen tank valves toward the rear of the ve hicle
angled downward, in order to reduce the damage to the hydrogen tanks.
Keep away from the vehicle.
● If a vehicle fire occurs, it can be extinguished with a Class A , B, or C fire
extinguisher. If using water, apply a large amount from a hydrant.
● If your vehicle needs to be towed, do so with the front wheels lifted. If the
wheels are touching the ground, the electric motor (traction mo tor) may
continue to generate electricity. This may cause a fire.

WARNING
■Traction battery
● Never resell, transfer, or modify the traction battery. To prev ent accidents,
traction batteries that have been removed from disposed vehicle are col-
lected through Toyota dealers. Do not dispose of the traction battery your-
self.
If the traction battery is not properly collected, the following may occur,
resulting in death or serious injury:
• The traction battery may be illegally disposed or dumped, and it is haz-
ardous to the environment. Additionally, someone may touch a high-volt-
age part, resulting in an electric shock.
• The traction battery is intended to be used exclusively with your fuel cell vehicle. If the traction battery is used outside of your vehicl e or modified
in any way, accidents, such as electric shock, heat generation, smoke
generation, ignition, explosion and electrolyte leakage may occ ur.
In particular, reselling or transferring the traction battery exposes the
receiving party to risks of accidents as they may not be aware of these
dangers. Make sure to inform them of the contents of this Owner ’s Man-
ual.
● If your vehicle is disposed without the traction battery having been
removed, there is a danger of serious electric shock in case hi gh-voltage
parts, cables, or their connectors are touched. When disposing of your
vehicle, the traction battery must be disposed by your Toyota d ealer, or a
qualified service shop. If the traction battery is not disposed of properly, it
may cause electric shock that can result in death or serious in jury.
NOTICE
■Traction battery air intake vent
● If the traction battery output decreases due to the entry of dust or debris,
foreign material, a warning message is shown on the multi-infor mation dis-
play. Have the vehicle inspected at your Toyota dealer.
● Do not place objects where the air intake vent will be obstruct ed. This may
lead to a reduction in traction battery power output and damage .
● Clean the air intake vent regularly to prevent clogging.
● Do not allow water or objects to enter the air intake vent, as this may dam-
age the traction battery.
■ Traction Battery
Do not spill a large amount of water near the traction battery in the vehicle.
If water spills onto the traction battery, have the vehicle ins pected at your
Toyota dealer.
