The coolant level is satisfactory if it is between the “FULL” a nd “LOW”
lines on the reservoir when the fuel cell system is cold.

“FULL” line
“LOW” line
If the level is on or below the
“LOW” line, add coolant up to the
“FULL” line.
■ Inverter coolant selection
Only use “Toyota Super Long Life Coolant” or a similar high quality ethylene
glycol based non-silicate, non-amine, non-nitrite, and non-bora te coolant with
long-life hybrid organic acid technology.
“Toyota Super Long Life Coolant” is a mixture of 50% coolant and 50% deion-
ized water. (Minimum temperature: -31 F [-35 C])
For more details about inverter coolant, contact your Toyota dealer.
Fuel cell stack coolant
NOTICE
■ Fuel cell stack coolant
An exclusive coolant for the fuel cell system is filled in the fuel cell stack
coolant reservoir. Do not use any substitute. It may damage you r vehicle.

Maintenance and care
■If the inverter coolant level drops within a short time of repl enishing
Visually check the radiators, hoses, inverter coolant reservoir cap, drain cock
and water pump.
If you cannot find a leak, have your Toyota dealer test the cap and check for
leaks in the cooling system.
Check the radiator and condenser and clear away any foreign objects.
If either of the above parts is extremely dirty or you are not sure of
their condition, have your vehic le inspected by your Toyota dea ler.
WARNING
■When the fuel cell system is hot
Do not remove the coolant reservoir caps.
The cooling system may be under pressure and may spray hot coolant if the
cap is removed, causing serious injuries, such as burns.
NOTICE
■When adding coolant
Coolant is neither plain water nor straight antifreeze. The cor rect mixture of
water and antifreeze must be used to provide proper lubrication , corrosion
protection and cooling. Be sure to read the antifreeze or coolant label.
■ If you spill coolant
Be sure to wash it off with water to prevent it from damaging p arts or paint.
Radiator and condenser
WARNING
■When the fuel cell system is hot
Do not touch the radiator or condenser as they may be hot and c ause seri-
ous injuries, such as burns.

Maintenance and care
Tire valve
Tire pressure gauge
Remove the tire valve cap.
Press the tip of the tire pressure gauge onto the tire valve.
Read the pressure using the gauge gradations.
If the tire inflation pressure is not at the recommended level, adjust
the pressure.
If you add too much air, press the center of the valve to defla te.
After completing the tire inflation pressure measurement and
adjustment, apply soapy water to the valve and check for leakage.
Put the tire valve cap back on.
■Tire inflation pressure check interval
You should check tire inflation p ressure every two weeks, or at least once
a month.
Do not forget to check the spare.
■Effects of incorrect tire inflation pressure
Driving with incorrec t tire inflation pressure may result in th e following:
●Reduced fuel economy
●Reduced driving comfort and poor handling
●Reduced tire life due to wear
●Reduced safety
●Damage to the drivetrain
If a tire needs frequent inflating , have it checked by your Toyota dealer.

4048-2. Steps to take in an emergency
MIRAI_OM_USA_OM62025U●
When the 12-volt battery is reconnected, start the fuel cell sy stem, depress
the brake pedal, and confirm that it is possible to shift into each shift posi-
tion.
● If the battery is removed or the terminals disconnected without operating the
water release function during cold weather, the vehicle may not start due to
the fuel cell system being frozen. To prevent this, operate the water release
function before removing the battery or disconnecting the termi nals.
( P. 176)
■ When exchanging the 12-volt battery
Use a Central Degassing type 12-volt battery (Japanese Industri al Stan-
dards). Also, use 12-volt batteries with case sizes similar to one prior the
exchange and an equivalent 20 hour rate capacity (20HR) or grea ter.
• If the sizes differ, the 12-volt battery cannot be properly se cured.
• If the 20 hour rate capacity is low, even if the time period w here the vehicle
is not used is a short time, the 12-volt battery may discharge and fuel cell
system may not be able to start.
For details, consult your Toyota dealer.
WARNING
■ Avoiding 12-volt batte ry fires or explosions
Observe the following precautions to prevent accidentally ignit ing the flam-
mable gas that may be emitted from the 12-volt battery:
● Make sure each jumper cable is connected to the correct terminal and that
it is not unintentionally in contact with any other than the in tended terminal.
● Do not allow the other end of the jumper cable connected to the “+” termi-
nal to come into contact with any other parts or metal surfaces in the area,
such as brackets or unpainted metal.
● Do not allow the + and - clamps of the jumper cables to come in to contact
with each other.
● Do not smoke, use matches, cigarette lighters or allow open fla me near
the 12-volt battery.

MIRAI_OM_USA_OM62025U
Start the fuel cell system and turn the air conditioning system on
to check that the radiator coo ling fans operate and to check fo r
coolant leaks from t he radiator or hoses.
The fans operate when the air conditioning system is turned on immedi-
ately after a cold start. Confirm that the fans are operating b y checking
the fan sound and air flow. If it is difficult to check these, turn the air con-
ditioning system on and off repeatedly.
(The fans may not operate in freezing temperatures.)
If the fans are not operating:
Stop the fuel cell system immed iately and contact your Toyota
dealer.
If the fans are operating:
Have the vehicle inspected at the neare st Toyota dealer.
WARNING
■When inspecting under th e hood of your vehicle
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in serious injury such as burns.
● If steam is seen coming from under the hood, do not open the ho od until
the steam has subsided. The motor compartment may be very hot.
● After the fuel cell system has been turned off, check that the “READY”
indicator is off.
When the fuel cell system is operating, the cooling fans may suddenly
operate even if the fuel cell system stops. Do not touch or app roach rotat-
ing parts such as the fans, which may lead to fingers or clothing (espe-
cially a tie, a scarf or a muffler) getting caught, resulting i n serious injury.
● Do not loosen the coolant reservoir caps or radiator cap, while the fuel cell
system and radiator are hot.
High temperature steam or coolant could spray out.
