Before driving
1 Folds the mirrors
2 Extends the mirrors
Putting the switch in the neutral
position sets the mirrors to auto-
matic mode. Automatic mode
allows the folding or extending of
the mirrors to be linked to lock-
ing/unlocking of the doors.
■Using automatic mode in cold
weather
When automatic mode is used in
cold weather, the door mirror could
freeze up and aut omatic stowing
and return may not be possible. In
this case, remove any ice and snow
from the door mirror, then either
operate the mirror using manual
mode or move the mirror by hand.
■Customization
Some functions can be customized.
(  P.498)
When either “L” or “R” of the mir-
ror select switch is selected, the
outside rear view mirrors will
automatically angle downwards
when the vehicle is reversing in
order to give a better view of the
ground.
To disable this function, select
neither “L” nor “R”.
■Adjusting the mirror angle
when the vehicle is revers-
ing
With the shift position in R,
adjust the mirror angle at a
desired position.
The adjusted angle will be mem-
orized and the mirror will auto-
matically tilt to the memorized
angle whenever the shift posi-
tion is shifted to R from next
time.
The memorized downward tilt posi-
tion of the mirror is linked to the
normal position (angle adjusted
with the shift posit ion in other than
R). Therefore, if the normal position
is changed after adjustment, the tilt
position will also change.
When the normal position is
changed, readjust the angle in
reversing.
Folding and extending the
mirrors
WARNING
■When a mirror is moving
To avoid personal injury and mir-
ror malfunction, be careful not to
get your hand caught by the mov-
ing mirror.

■Driving in the rain
●Drive carefully when it is raining,
because visibility will be reduced,
the windows may become fogged-
up, and the road will be slippery.
●Drive carefully whe n it starts to
rain, because the road surface will
be especially slippery.
●Refrain from high speeds when
driving on an expressway in the
rain, because there may be a
layer of water between the tires
and the road surface, preventing
the steering and brakes from
operating properly.
■ECO Accelerator Guidance
(  P.102)
Eco-friendly driving may be
achieved more easily by staying
within the zone of Eco acceleration.
Also, by staying w ithin the zone of
Eco acceleration, i t will be easier to
obtain a good Eco score.
●When starting off:
Gradually depress the accelerator
pedal to stay withi n the zone of Eco
acceleration and accelerate to the
desired speed. By refraining from
excessive acceleration, a good eco
start score will be obtained.
●When driving:
After accelerating to the desired
speed, release the accelerator
pedal and drive at a stable speed
while staying within the zone of Eco
acceleration. By staying within the
zone of Eco acceleration, a good
eco cruise score will be obtained.
●When stopping:
By starting to release the accelera-
tor pedal early before decelerating,
a good eco stop score will be
obtained.
■Restraining the fuel cell system
output (Brake Override System)
●When the accelera tor 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
and head-up display (if equipped)
while the system is operating.
(  P.446)
■Breaking in your new Toyota
To extend the life of the vehicle,
observing the following precautions
is recommended:
●For the first 186 miles (300 km):
Avoid sudden stops.
●For the first 621 miles (1000 km):
• Do not drive at extremely high speeds.
• Avoid sudden acceleration.
• Do not drive continuously in low gears.
• Do not drive at a constant speed for extended periods.
■Drum-in-disc type parking
brake system
Your vehicle has a drum-in-disc type
parking brake system. This type of
brake system needs bedding-down
of the brake shoes periodically or
whenever the par king brake shoes
and/or drum are replaced. Have
your Toyota dealer perform the bed-
ding down operation.
■Operating your v ehicle in a for-
eign country
Comply with the relevant vehicle
registration laws and confirm the
availability of the correct fuel.
(  P.483)
WARNING
Observe the following precau-
tions.
Failure to do so may result in
death or serious injury.

Driving
WARNING
■When starting the vehicle
Always keep your foot on the
brake pedal while stopped with
the “READY” indicator is illumi-
nated. This prevents the vehicle
from creeping.
■When driving the vehicle
●Do not drive if y ou are unfamil-
iar with the location of the brake
and accelerator pedals to avoid
depressing the wrong pedal.
• Accidentally depressing the accelerator pedal instead of the
brake pedal will result in sudden
acceleration that may lead to an
accident.
• When backing up, you may twist your body around, leading to dif-
ficulty in operating the pedals.
Make sure to operate the pedals
properly.
• Make sure to keep a correct driving posture even when mov-
ing the vehicle only slightly. This
allows you to depress the brake
and accelerator pedals properly.
• Depress the brake pedal using your right foot. Depressing the
brake pedal using your left foot
may delay respon se in an emer-
gency, resulting in an accident.
●The driver should pay extra
attention to pedes trians as this
vehicle is powered only by an
electric motor (traction motor).
As there is no engine noise, the
pedestrians may misjudge the
vehicle’s movement. Even with
the acoustic vehicle alerting
system activate, d rive with care
as pedestrians in the vicinity
may still not notice the vehicle if
the surrounding area is noisy.
●During normal driving, do not
turn off the fuel cell system.
Turning the fuel cell system off
while driving will not cause loss
of steering or braking control,
however, power assist to the
steering will be lost. This will
make it more difficult to steer
smoothly, so you should pull
over and stop the vehicle as
soon as it is safe to do so.
In the event of a n emergency,
such as if it becomes impossible
to stop the vehicle in the normal
way:  P. 4 3 2
●Using the brakes continuously
may cause the brakes to over-
heat and lose effectiveness
when driving down a steep hill.
●Do not adjust the positions of
the steering wheel, the seat, or
the inside or outside rear view
mirrors while driving.
Doing so may result in a loss of
vehicle control.
●Always check that all passen-
gers’ arms, heads or other parts
of their body are not outside the
vehicle.
●Do not drive in excess of the
speed limit. Even if the legal
speed limit permits it, do not
drive over 85 mph (140 km/h)
unless your vehicle has high-
speed capability tires. Driving
over 85 mph (140 km/h) may
result in tire fa ilure, loss of con-
trol and possible injury. Be sure
to consult a tire dealer to deter-
mine whether the tires on your
vehicle are high-speed capabil-
ity tires or not before driving at
such speeds.
■When driving on slippery
road surfaces
●Sudden braking, acceleration
and steering may cause tire
slippage and reduce your ability
to control the vehicle.

1645-1. Before driving
Owners Manual_USA_M62084_en
WARNING
●Sudden acceleration or regen-
erative braking due to shifting
could 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 may prevent the
brakes from functioning prop-
erly. If the brakes on only one
side are wet and not functioning
properly, steering control may
be affected.
■When shifting the shift posi-
tion
●Do not let the vehicle roll back-
ward while a forward driving
position is selected, or roll for-
ward while the shift position is in
R.
Doing so may result in an acci-
dent or damage to the vehicle.
●Do not shift the shift position to
P while the vehicle is moving.
Doing so can damage the trans-
mission and may result in a loss
of vehicle control.
●Do not shift the shift position to
R while the vehicle is moving
forward.
Doing so can damage the trans-
mission and may result in a loss
of vehicle control.
●Do not shift the shift position to
a driving position while the vehi-
cle is moving backward.
Doing so can damage the trans-
mission and may result in a loss
of vehicle control.
●Changing the shif t position to N
while the vehicle is moving will
disengage the fuel cell system.
Regenerative braking is not
available with the fuel cell sys-
tem disengaged.
●Be careful not to change the
shift position with the accelera-
tor pedal depressed. Changing
the shift position to any posi-
tions other than P or N may lead
to unexpected rapid accelera-
tion of the vehicle that may
cause an acciden t and result in
death or serious injury.
After changing the shift position,
make sure to confirm the cur-
rent shift position displayed on
the shift position indicator inside
the meter.
■If you hear a squealing or
scraping noise (brake pad
wear limit indicators)
Have the brake pads checked and
replaced by your Toyota dealer as
soon as possible.
Rotor damage may result if the
pads are not replaced when
needed.
It is dangerous to drive the vehicle
when the wear limits of the brake
pads and/or those of the brake
discs are exceeded.
■When the vehicle is stopped
●Do not depress the accelerator
pedal unnecessarily.
If the shift position is in any
position other than P or N, the
vehicle may accelerate sud-
denly and unexpectedly, caus-
ing an accident.
●In order to prevent accidents
due to the vehic le rolling away,
always keep depressing the
brake pedal while stopped with
the “READY” indicator is illumi-
nated, and apply the parking
brake as necessary.

WARNING
●The brake system consists of 2
or more individual hydraulic sys-
tems; if one of the systems fails,
the other(s) will still operate. In
this case, the brake pedal
should be depressed more
firmly than usual and the brak-
ing distance will increase. Have
your brakes fixed immediately.
NOTICE
■When driving the vehicle
●Do not depress t he accelerator
and brake pedals at the same
time during drivin g, as this may
restrain the fuel cell system out-
put.
●Do not use the accelerator
pedal or depress the accelera-
tor and brake pedals at the
same time to hold the vehicle on
a hill.
■When parking the vehicle
Always set the parking brake, and
shift the shift position to P. Failure
to do so may cause the vehicle to
move or the vehi cle may acceler-
ate suddenly if the accelerator
pedal is accidentally depressed.
■Avoiding damage to vehicle
parts
●Do not turn the steering wheel
fully in either direction and hold
it there for an extended period
of time.
Doing so may damage the
power steering motor.
●When driving over bumps in the
road, drive as slowly as possible
to avoid damagi ng the wheels,
underside of the vehicle, etc.
■If you get a flat tire while driv-
ing
A flat or damaged tire may cause
the following situations. Hold the
steering wheel firmly and gradu-
ally depress the brake pedal to
slow down the vehicle.
●It may be difficult to control your
vehicle.
●The vehicle will make abnormal
sounds or vibrations.
●The vehicle will lean abnor-
mally.

■Emergency steering assist
If the system determines that
the possibility of a frontal colli-
sion is high and that there is suf-
ficient space for the vehicle to
be steered into within its lane,
and the driver has begun eva-
sive maneuver or steering,
emergency steering assist will
assist the steering movements
to help enhance the vehicle sta-
bility and for lane departure pre-
vention. During operation, the
indicator will illuminate in green.
■Intersection right/left turn
assistance
If the system determines that
there is a high possibility of a
collision in the following situa-
tions, it will assist with Pre-colli-
sion warning and, if necessary
Pre-collision braking.
Depending on the configuration
of the intersection, it may not be
possible to support.
 When you turn right/left at an
intersection and cross the
path of an oncoming vehicle 
When you turn right/left,
pedestrian is detected in the
forward direction and esti-
mated to enter your vehicle’s
path (bicyclists are not
detected.)WARNING
■Limitations of the pre-colli-
sion system
●The driver is solely responsible
for safe driving. Always drive
safely, taking care to observe
your surroundings.
Do not use the pre-collision sys-
tem instead of normal braking
operations under any circum-
stances. This system will not
prevent collisions or lessen col-
lision damage or injury in every
situation. Do not overly rely on
this system. Failure to do so
may lead to an accident, result-
ing in death or serious injury.
