Fuel cell system

M62048U(19MY)
The fuel cell vehicle has high-voltage components (about 650 V m axi-
mum) such as a fuel cell stack, traction battery, power control unit,
high-voltage cables (which are di stinguished from low-voltage cables
by their orange covers), electric motor (traction motor), etc., and high-
temperature parts such as the radiator for cooling. Pay attenti on to all
warning labels attached to the vehicle.
This diagram is for illustrative purposes only and may differ f rom the
actual vehicle.

Power output restriction
When the power output is restricted, the vehicle may fail to accelerate or even
decelerate, even though the accelerator pedal is depressed. If a safe driving
speed cannot be maintained, stop the vehicle in a safe place aw ay from the
traffic. This may be caused by the following conditions:
● The coolant temperature may be too high. This can be caused by driving
conditions such as repeated sudden acceleration and deceleratio n, continu-
ous driving on an incline, continuous driving at high altitudes with a high
load, etc. In such situations, the power output restriction ind icator (amber) is
displayed on the main display, “High FC Temperature Reduced Power” is
displayed on the multi-information display, and the power output is
restricted. Once the coolant returns to normal temperature, the power out-
put will return to normal. ( P. 428)
● The remaining fuel may be low. After the low fuel warning indicator comes
on, the output power will be gradually restricted in order to extend the possi-
ble driving distance. Once getting to this point, the remaining driving dis-
tance possible is short. Immediately refill the vehicle with hydrogen.
● On cold days, the low fuel warning indicator comes on faster than usual and
the output power is restricted.
■ Vehicle proximity notification system
In the following cases, the vehicle proximity notification syst em may be diffi-
cult to hear for people around.
● In very noisy areas
● In wind or rain
Also, because the vehicle proximity notification system is loca ted in the front
of the vehicle, it may be more difficult to hear from the rear of the vehicle
compared to the front.
■ Electromagnetic waves (EMF)
●High-voltage parts and cables in fuel cell vehicles have an ele ctromagnetic
shielding configuration, and therefore emit approximately the s ame amount
of electromagnetic waves as conventional gasoline-powered vehicles or
home electronic appliances.
● Your vehicle may cause sound interference in some third party-p roduced
radio parts.
■ Traction battery
The traction battery has a limited service life. The lifespan of the traction bat-
tery can change according to driving style and driving conditio ns.

Power restriction indicator
Blue: The fuel cell system output power is restricted, because the
coolant temperature is low.
Amber: The fuel cell system output power is restricted, because the
coolant temperature is high.
Outside temperature
Displays the outside temperature within the range of -40°F (-40 °C)
to 122°F (50°C).
Low outside temperature indicator flashes when the ambient tem-
perature is 37°F (3°C) or lower.
Driving range distance
Displays the estimated maximum distance that can be driven with
the quantity of fuel remaining. • Displays the possible driving d istance computed from the fuel
consumption studied f rom the driving history and the current
remaining amount of fuel. The ac tual possible driving distance
may differ as fuel consumpti on changes, depending on driving
environment (weather, traffic, etc.) and conditions (sudden acc el-
eration, air conditioning, etc.).
• When only a small amount of fuel is added to the hydrogen tanks, the display may not be updated.
Speedometer
Displays the vehicle speed.
Odometer and trip meter
Odometer:
Displays the total distance the vehicle has been driven.
Trip meter:
Displays the distance the vehicl e has been driven since the met er
was last reset.
Trip meters “A” and “B” can be used to record and display diffe rent
distances independently.
Distance after start:
Displays the distance driven afte r the fuel cell system was started.

NOTICE
■To prevent damage to the fuel cell system and its components
This vehicle is equipped with high coolant temperature warning light
(  P. 418), instead of, coolant temperature gauge.
The fuel cell system may be overheating if the high coolant temperature
warning light flashes or comes on. In this case, immediately st op the
vehicle in a safe place, and che ck the fuel cell system after it has cooled
completely.

Maintenance and care
WARNING
The motor compartment contains many mechanisms and fluids that may
move suddenly, become hot, or become electrically energized. To avoid death
or serious injury, observe the following precautions.
■ When working on the motor compartment
● Be careful not to touch the high-voltage parts or hydrogen-rela ted parts.
● Make sure that the “READY” indicator is off.
● Keep hands, clothing and tools away from the moving fans.
● Be careful not to touch the motor, inverter, radiator, etc., ri ght after driving
as they may be hot. Coolant and other fluids may also be hot.
● Do not leave anything that may burn easily, such as paper and r ags, in the
motor compartment.
● Do not smoke, cause sparks or expose an open flame to the 12-volt bat-
tery. 12-volt battery fumes are flammable.
● Be extremely cautious when working on the 12-volt battery. It c ontains poi-
sonous and corrosive sulfuric acid.
● Never touch, disassemble, remove or replace the high-voltage parts,
cables and their connectors. It can cause severe burns or electric shock
that may result in death or serious injury.
■ When working near the electric cooling fans or radiator grille
Be sure the power switch is off.
With the power switch in ON mode, the electric cooling fans may automati-
cally start to run if the air conditioning is on and/or the coolant temperature
is high. ( P. 371)
■ Safety glasses
Wear safety glasses to prevent flying or falling material, fluid spray, etc.,
from getting in your eyes.
NOTICE
■If you remove the air cleaner filter
Driving with the air cleaner filter removed may cause excessive motor wear
due to dirt in the air.

“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.
For the U.S.A.: “Toyota Super Long Life Coolant” is a mixture o f 50% coolant and
50% deionized water. (Minimum temperature: -31
F [-35C])
For Canada: “Toyota Super Long Life Coolant” is a mixture of 55 % coolant and
45% deionized water. (Minimum temperature: -44
F [-42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.
