Basic concepts of hydrogen safety
●Prevent leakage
The pipe joints of the hydrogen pipelines are designed to preve nt leaks.
The joints are checked for gas leakage at every official vehicle inspection.
● Detect to stop leakage
• The vehicle is equipped with hydrogen detectors. If the hydrog en detec-
tors detect a leak, the hydrogen tank valves automatically clos e to pre-
vent more hydrogen from escaping.
• The vehicle is equipped with a collision sensor. If the collis ion sensor
detects a collision, the hydrogen tank valves automatically clo se to pre-
vent hydrogen gas from leaking from any damaged components.
● Disperse the leaked hydrogen gas
The hydrogen tanks and pipelines are located outside of the passenger
compartment, so any leaked gas will disperse into the atmospher e by
design.
● Eliminate sources of fire
No source of fire is located near the hydrogen pipelines by des ign.
WARNING
■Hydrogen-related components
● Never alter, customize, or disassemble any hydrogen-related par ts.
● The hydrogen tanks, fuel cell stack, hydrogen pipelines, and co nnecting
components are filled with hydrogen gas. Do not remove or disassemble
these parts. Doing so can cause a hydrogen gas leak, resulting in fire or
explosion of the vehicle, which may result in death or serious injury.
■ When hydrogen gas leak or other malfunction is detected
● If you notice gas leaking noises or any other malfunction, imme diately stop
the vehicle in a safe, well-ventilated place.
● If a warning message is shown on the multi-information display, immedi-
ately stop the vehicle in a safe, well-ventilated place.
● 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.

■When starting off on an uphill
The hill-start assist control will activate. ( P. 231)
■ For fuel-efficient driving
Keep in mind that fuel cell vehicles are similar to conventiona l vehicles, and it
is necessary to refrain from activities such as sudden acceleration. ( P. 94)
■ Driving in the rain
●Drive carefully when it is raining, because visibility will be reduced, the win-
dows may become fogged-up, and the road will be slippery.
● Drive carefully when it starts to rain, because the road surface will be espe-
cially slippery.
● Refrain from high speeds when driving on an expressway in the r ain,
because there may be a layer of water between the tires and the road sur-
face, preventing the steering and brakes from operating properl y.
■ 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 while the
system is operating. If a warning message is shown on the multi -information
display, read the message and follow the instructions.
■ Restraining sudden start (Drive-Start Control)
● When the following unusual operation is performed, the fuel cel l system out-
put may be restrained.
• When the shift lever is shifted from R to D, D to R, N to R, P to D, or P to
R with the accelerator pedal depressed, a warning message appea rs on
the multi-information display. If a warning message is shown on the multi-
information display, read the message and follow the instructio ns.
• When the accelerator pedal is depressed too while the vehicle is in
reverse.
● While Drive-Start Control is being activated, your vehicle may have trou-
ble escaping from the mud or fresh snow. In such case, deactiva te TRAC
(  P. 232) to cancel Drive-Start Control so that the vehicle may b ecome
able to escape from the mud or fresh snow.

WARNING
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
■When driving the vehicle
● Do not drive in excess of the speed limit. Even if the legal sp eed limit per-
mits it, do not drive over 85 mph (140 km/h) unless your vehicl e has high-
speed capability tires. Driving over 85 mph (140 km/h) may resu lt in tire
failure, loss of control and possible injury. Be sure to consult a tire dealer
to determine whether the tires on your vehicle are high-speed c apability
tires or not before driving at such speeds.
■ When driving on slippery road surfaces
● Sudden braking, acceleration and steering may cause tire slippa ge and
reduce your ability to control the vehicle.
● Sudden acceleration or regenerative braking due to shifting cou ld 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 m ay prevent
the brakes from functioning properly. If the brakes on only one side are wet
and not functioning properly, steering control may be affected.
■ When changing the shift position
● Do not let the vehicle roll backward while a forward driving position is
selected, or roll forward while the shift position is in R.
Doing so may result in an accident or damage to the vehicle.
● Do not shift the shift position to P while the vehicle is movin g.
Doing so can damage the transmission and may result in a loss o f vehicle
control.
● Do not shift the shift position to R while the vehicle is movin g forward.
Doing so can damage the transmission and may result in a loss o f vehicle
control.
● Do not shift the shift position to a driving position while the vehicle is mov-
ing backward.
Doing so can damage the transmission and may result in a loss o f vehicle
control.
● Shifting the shift position to N while the vehicle is moving wi ll disengage
the fuel cell system. Regenerative braking is not available with the fuel cell
system disengaged.
● Be careful not to shift the shift position with the accelerator pedal
depressed. Shifting the shift position to any position other th an P or N may
lead to unexpected rapid acceleration of the vehicle that may c ause an
accident and result in death or serious injury.
After shifting the shift position, make sure to check the current shift posi-
tion using the shift position indicator. ( P. 179)

WARNING
■When filling
Observe the following precautions while fueling the vehicle.
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
● Turn the power switch off before fueling.
● Ensure the hydrogen gas nozzle is locked onto the vehicle recep tacle
before filling. This can be done by pulling on the hydrogen gas nozzle to
check that it cannot be pulled off.
Failure 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 vehicle r eceptacle
surface will become cold, and frost may develop. After fueling is com-
pleted, remove the hydrogen gas nozzle by the plastic handle on ly. Do not
touch any other parts of the hydrogen gas nozzle or vehicle rec eptacle
with bare hands immediately after fueling, as frostbite may occ ur.
NOTICE
■When filling
● Fuel only with compressed hydrogen gas at stations compliant with the
Society of Automotive 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 hydrogen gas nozzle, or subject it to a large
amount of force. Doing so may cause damage.
● If the hydrogen gas nozzle cannot be removed after fueling, it may be fro-
zen to the vehicle receptacle. Wait for the hydrogen 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 g ets in the vehicle
receptacle, it may cause damage.
● Do not put anything sharp, such as a screwdriver, blade, or any foreign
object into the mouth 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, pl ease notify
your Toyota dealer.

Interior features
MIRAI_OM_USA_OM62025U■
Fogging up of the windows
●The windows will easily fog up when the humidity in the vehicle is high.
Turning on will dehumidify the air from the outlets and defog the wind-
shield effectively.
● If you turn off, the windows may fog up more easily.
● The windows may fog up if the recirculated air mode is used.
■ Windshield fog detection function
When automatic mode is set, the humidity sensor ( P. 264) detects fog on
the windshield and controls the air conditioning system to prev ent fog.
■ Outside/recirculated air mode
●When driving on dusty roads such as tunnels or in heavy traffic, set the out-
side/recirculated air mode button to recirculated air mode. Thi s is effective in
preventing outside air from entering the vehicle interior. Duri ng cooling oper-
ation, setting the recirculated air mode will also cool the vehicle interior
effectively.
● Outside/recirculated air mode may automatically switch dependin g on the
temperature setting or the inside temperature.
■ Operation of the air conditioni ng system in ECO HEAT/COOL mode
● In ECO HEAT/COOL mode, the air conditioning system is controlle d as fol-
lows to prioritize fuel efficiency:
• Fluid (heating) heater and compressor operation controlled to restrict
heating/cooling capacity
• Fan speed restricted when automatic mode is selected
● To improve air conditioning performance, perform the following operations:
• Adjust the temperature settings and fan speed
• Touch while in , and is set
• Touch while in , and ECO HEAT/COOL mode is canceled
■ Operation of the air conditioning system in Eco drive mode
When ECO MODE switch is pressed, operations switch over to ECO HEAT/
COOL mode. ( P. 183)
■ When the outside temperature exceeds 75°F (24°C) and the air co ndition-
ing system is on
● In order to reduce the air conditioning power consumption, the air condition-
ing system may switch to recirculated air mode automatically. This may also
reduce fuel consumption.
● Recirculated air mode is selected as a default mode when the power switch
is turned to ON mode.
● It is possible to switch to outside air mode at any time by pre ssing .
