MIRAI_OM_USA_OM62004U■
Fuel cell stack
●Depending on the usage environment, the fuel cell power output may
decline over the life of the vehicle. However, this will have almost no effect
on driving performance.
● 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 of 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
However, upon returning to normal environment, the fuel cell power output
will recover over time.
• Salt water gets into the air cleaner filter It is recommended to replace the air cleaner filter and clean the surround-
ing components. Have the vehicle inspected at your Toyota dealer
• The number of times the fuel cell system is started and stopped is exces- sively high
• Extended use in freezing temperatures
■ Hydrogen tanks
●The hydrogen tanks are the high-pressure storage containers that are filled
with compressed hydrogen gas. The vehicle can be refueled at hydrogen
stations.
● The hydrogen tanks have an expiration date. Vehicles with expired hydro-
gen tanks must not be driven or refueled until the hydrogen tanks are
replaced. The expiration date is written on the inside of the fuel door. Con-
sult your Toyota dealer.
● When disposing of the hydrogen tanks or the hydrogen tank valves, consult
your Toyota dealer for details.

◆Using Eco drive mode
Using Eco drive mode (P. 181) makes torque generation less
aggressive than normal when stepping on the accelerator pedal,
leading to improvement in fuel economy.
Also, is displayed on the air conditioning screen, indicating
the switch to ECO HEAT/COOL mode ( P. 260).
◆Air conditioning system on/off
● Turn off the air conditioning sy stem operation switch except
when necessary to help curb fuel consumption.
In summer: When the ambient temper ature is high, use the recircu-
lated air mode. This decreases the load on the air con-
ditioning system.
In winter: Avoid excess heating. Use the seat heater to minimize
the need for cabin heating ( P. 268).
● By pushing , ECO HEAT/COOL mode is turned on. This
helps curb fuel consumption even with the air conditioning system
turned on.
◆Checking tire inflation pressure
Make sure to check the tire infl ation pressure frequently. Improper
tire inflation pressure can cause poor fuel economy.
Additionally, snow tire s have more rolling friction and their use on
dry roads lead to poor fuel econom y. Use tires that are appropriate
for the season.
◆Luggage
Avoid carrying unnecessary luggage and unload excess weight in
order avoid poor fuel economy. Installing a large roof rack will also
reduce fuel economy.

MIRAI_OM_USA_OM62004U
Opening the fuel door
●Close the all the doors and windows.
● Set the parking brake.
● Shift the shift position to P.
● Turn the power switch off.
● Turn off the headlights.
■Fuel Type
Compressed hydrogen gas
■ 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 completely fill hydrogen tanks.
● If the fueling cannot be completed due to trouble with the station equipment,
call the number indicated on the equipment.
● Fuel with compressed hydrogen gas only at hydrogen stations.
● Fuel at hydrogen stations conforming with the Society of Automo-
tive Engineers (SAE) J2601 fueling protocol or laws that may
supersede such SAE protocols.
● Refer to the Mirai Station Finder Application in Entune,
www.toyota.com
, or call 800-331-4331.
● Observe any notices or instructio ns shown at hydrogen stations.
● The filling time and amount of fuel may depend on outside tem-
perature and the equipment at that hydrogen station.
●
Vehicles with expired hydrogen tanks must not be used. (P. 8 6 )
Consult your Toyota dealer.
