If the fuel cell system is off, the power assist for the brakes and steering will
not function, making steering and braking more difficult.

■ Before transporting or towing in frozen areas
Operate the water release function. Otherwise, the fuel cell sy stem may

■When towing the vehicle
■ While towing
● When towing using cables or chains, avoid sudden starts, etc., which
place excessive stress on the towing eyelets, cables or chains. The towing
eyelets, cables or chains may become damaged, broken debris may hit
people, and cause serious damage.
● Do not turn the power switch off.
This may lead to an accident as the front wheels will be locked by the

erated by the operation of the motor may
cause a fire to occur depending on the
