■System maintenance
The vehicle has a maintenance-free type alarm system.
■ Items to check before locking the vehicle
To prevent unexpected triggering of the alarm and vehicle theft, make sure of
the following:
●Nobody is in the vehicle.
● The windows are closed before the alarm is set.
● No valuables or other personal items are left in the vehicle.
■ Triggering of the alarm
The alarm may be triggered in the following situations:
(Stopping the alarm deactivates the alarm system.)
■ Alarm-operated door lock
The door automatically locks when the following occurs:
●When a person remaining in the vehicle unlocks the door and the alarm is
activated.
● While the alarm is activated, a person remaining in the vehicle unlocks the
door.
●
A person inside the vehicle opens a
door, the trunk or hood, or unlocks the
vehicle using an inside lock button.
● The 12-volt battery is recharged or
replaced when the vehicle is locked.
(P. 403)

Fuel cell system
MIRAI_OM_USA_OM62004U■
Regenerative braking
In the following situations, the vehicle generates electricity from the decelera-
tion 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 trac-
tion battery will slowly discharge. For this reason, 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. 403
■ 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, as indicated by the
“READY” indicator being illuminated. For safety, make sure to always shift the
shift position to P and apply the parking brake when parked.
■ Maintenance, repair, recycling, and disposal
Contact your Toyota dealer regarding maintenance, repair, recycling, and dis-
posal. Do not dispose of the vehicle or any of its components yourself.
• Humming sound
• High pitch soundOperation of the motor
Sounds may come from the motor com-
partment.
(In particular, sounds may be heard when
accelerating or decelerating.)
Blowing and draining soundExhaust water or air is being purgedSounds may come from the rear of the
vehicle.
May also occur periodically while parked
when it is cold to prevent freezing.
(Sounds may be heard when vehicle is
stopped, fuel cell system is stopped, park-
ing.)

Fuel cell system
MIRAI_OM_USA_OM62004U■
Fuel cell stack coolant
●Fuel cell stack coolant uses a specifically-designed fluid with high electrical
insulation properties, in order to safely cool the high-voltage fuel cell stack.
● Never add water or other coolants to the fuel cell stack cooling system, 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 installed in the coolant lines for the fuel cell stack, in order to
maintain the normal insulation properties of the coolant.
● It is necessary to periodically change the ion filter. ( P. 378) Contact your
Toyota dealer for this periodic maintenance.
■ Tailpipe
●When the power switch is turned off and the fuel cell system is stopped
(P. 173) after driving, exhaust water is discharged. Be careful when stand-
ing behind the vehicle to avoid dripping or spraying.
● It is possible to manually purge the exhaust. This may be desirable, for
instance, before parking in a garage. This is done by pressing the H
2O
switch. ( P. 173)
● On cold days, water vapor in the exhaust may appear as a white mist emit-
ted from the tailpipe. This is not a malfunction.
● If the tailpipe is blocked, the fuel cell system will stop.
■ Hydrogen detectors
When the power switch is turned to ON mode, the hydrogen detectors are
activated.

WARNING
■Tailpipe
●Do not directly touch the water or steam coming out of the tailpipe. Doing
so may cause low-temperature burns.
● The fuel cell vehicle generates wate r during power generation. The gener-
ated water discharged from the tailpipe is not suitable for drinking. Never
drink the water coming out of the tailpipe.
● You may notice a strange odor from the tailpipe for a while after the pur-
chase of a new vehicle or after an extended period of non-use, but this is
not a malfunction. Also, the odor is harmless but it may be unpleasant, so
do not breathe in the exhaust.
■ High-voltage and high-temperature precautions
This vehicle is equipped with a high-voltage system. Follow the instructions
below as high-voltages can cause severe burns and electric shock that may
result in death or serious injury.
●Never touch, disassemble, remove, or replace the high-voltage parts,
cables (orange), or connectors.
● The components inside the motor compartment will become hot during
operation. Be careful of both the high-voltage and high-temperature, and
always obey the warning labels on the vehicle.
●Never touch the service plugs that are
installed on the fuel cell stack and the
traction battery. The service plugs are
used to block high-voltages from the
fuel cell stack and the traction battery
during maintenance or repair at your
Toyota dealer.

Driving

Warning messages for the LDA system
Warning messages are used to indicate a system malfunction or to inform t\
he
driver of the need for caution while driving. If a warning message is sh\
own on
the multi-information display, read the message and follow the instructions.
Also, even if a warning message is displayed, it will not impede normal driv-
ing.
WARNING
■Before using the LDA system
Do not rely solely on the LDA system. The LDA system does not drive the
vehicle automatically, nor does it reduce the amount of care you need to
take. As such, the driver must always assume full responsibility for under-
standing his/her surroundings, for operating the steering wheel to correct
the driving line, and for driving safely. Also, take occasional rests from
fatigue due to driving over long periods of time, etc.
Inappropriate or negligent driving could lead to an unexpected accident.
■ To avoid operating the LDA system by mistake
Switch the LDA system off using the LDA switch when not in use.
(P. 217)
■ Situations unsuitable for LDA system
Do not use the LDA system in any of the following situations.
Otherwise, the system may not function correctly and could result in an
accident.
●When driving with tire chains, a spare tire, or similar equipment
● When there are objects or structures along the roadside that might be mis-
interpreted as lane markers (such as guardrails, a curb, reflector posts,
etc.)
● When driving on snowy roads
● When pavement lane markers are difficult to see due to rain, snow, fog,
sand, dirt, etc.
● When there are visible lines on the pavement from road repairs, or if the
remains of old lane markers are still visible on the road
● When driving on a road with lane closures due to maintenance, or when
driving in a temporary lane
● When driving through construction areas
