WARNING
The fuel cell unit compartment 
contains many mechanisms and 
fluids that may move suddenly, 
become hot, or become electri-
cally energized. To avoid death or 
serious injury, observe the follow-
ing precautions.
■When working on the fuel cell 
unit compartment
●Be careful not to touch the high-
voltage parts or hydrogen-
related parts.
●Make sure that the “READY” 
indicator is off.
●Keep hands, clothing and tools 
away from the moving fan.
●Be careful not to touch the 
motor, inverter, radiator, etc. 
right 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 
rags, in the fuel cell unit com-
partment.
ItemsParts and tools●Do not smoke, cause sparks or 
expose an open flame to the 12-
volt battery. 12-volt battery 
fumes are flammable.
●Be extremely cautious when 
working on the 12-volt battery. It 
contains poisonous and corro-
sive sulfuric acid.
●Take care because brake fluid 
can harm your hands or eyes 
and damage painted surfaces. If 
fluid gets on your hands or in 
your eyes, flush the affected 
area with clean water immedi-
ately.
If you still experience discom-
fort, consult a doctor.
●Never touch, disassemble, 
remove or replace the high-volt-
age parts, cables and their con-
nectors. It can cause severe 
burns or electric shock that may 
result in death or serious injury.
■When working near the elec-
tric cooling fan or radiator 
grille
Be sure the power switch is off.
With the power switch in ON, the 
electric cooling fa n may automati-
cally start to run if the air condi-
tioning is on and/or the coolant 
temperature is high. ( P.398)
■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.

The coolant level is satisfactory 
if it is between the “MAX” and 
“MIN” lines on the reservoir  when the fuel cell system is 
cold.

If the level is on or below the “MIN” 
line, add coolant up to the “MAX” 
line. (P.476)
■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-
borate coolant with long-life hybrid 
organic acid technology.
U.S.A.:
“Toyota Super Long Life Coolant” is 
a mixture of 50% coolant and 50% 
deionized water. (Minimum tem-
perature: -31°F [-35°C])
Canada:
“Toyota Super Long Life Coolant” is 
a mixture of 55% coolant and 45% 
deionized water. (Minimum tem-
perature: -44°F [-42°C])
For more details about coolant, con-
tact your Toyota dealer.
■If the inverter coolant level 
drops within a short time of 
replenishing
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 sys- tem.
Check the radiator and con-
denser and clear away any for-
eign objects. If either of the 
above parts is extremely dirty or 
you are not sure of their condi-
tion, have your vehicle 
inspected by your Toyota dealer.
WARNING
■When the cell system is hot
Do not remove the coolant reser-
voir caps. ( P.479)
The cooling system may be under 
pressure and may spray hot cool-
ant if the cap is removed, causing 
serious injuries, such as burns.
NOTICE
■When adding coolant
Coolant is neither plain water nor 
straight antifreeze. The correct 
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 parts or 
paint.

denser as they may be hot and 
cause serious injuries, such as 
burns.

Maintenance and care
■Checking fluid level
The brake fluid level should be 
between the “MAX” and “MIN” 
lines on the tank.

“MIN” line
■Adding fluid
Make sure to check the fluid 
type and prepare the necessary 
item.
 Fluid type
FMVSS No.116 DOT 3 or SAE 
J1703 brake fluid
FMVSS No.116 DOT 4 or SAE 
J1704 brake fluid
Item
Clean funnel
■Brake fluid can absorb moisture 
from the air
Excess moisture in the brake fluid 
can cause a dangerous loss of brak-
ing efficiency. Use only newly 
opened brake fluid.
If any washer does not work or 
the warning message appears 
on the multi-information display, 
the washer tank may be empty. 
Add washer fluid.
Checking and adding the 
brake fluidWARNING
■When filling the reservoir
Take care as brake fluid can harm 
your hands and eyes and damage 
painted surfaces.
If fluid gets on your hands or in 
your eyes, flush the affected area 
with clean water immediately.
If you still experi ence discomfort, 
see a doctor.
NOTICE
■If the fluid level is low or high
It is normal for the brake fluid level 
to go down slight ly as the brake 
pads wear out or when the fluid 
level in the accumulator is high.
If the reservoir needs frequent 
refilling, there m ay be a serious 
problem.

■Before recharging
When recharging, the 12-volt bat-
tery produces hydrogen gas which 
is flammable and explosive. There-
fore, observe the following precau-
tions before recharging:
●If recharging with the 12-volt bat-
tery installed on the vehicle, be 
sure to disconnect the ground 
cable.
●Make sure the charger is off when 
connecting and disconnecting the 
charger cables to the 12-volt bat-
tery.
■After recharging/reconnecting 
the 12-volt battery
●Unlocking the doors using the 
smart key system may not be pos-
sible immediately  after reconnect-
ing the 12-volt battery. If this 
happens, use the wireless remote 
control or the mechanical key to 
lock/unlock the doors.
●Start the fuel cell system with the 
power switch in ACC. The fuel cell 
system may not start with the 
power switch turned off. However, 
the fuel cell system will operate 
normally from the second attempt.
WARNING
■When adding washer fluid
Do not add washer fluid when the 
fuel cell system is hot or operating 
as washer fluid contains alcohol 
and may catch fire if spilled on the 
fuel cell system, etc.
NOTICE
■Do not use any fluid other 
than washer fluid
Do not use soapy water or anti-
freeze instead of washer fluid.
Doing so may cause streaking on 
the vehicle’s painted surfaces, as 
well as damaging the pump lead-
ing to problems of the washer 
fluid not spraying.
■Diluting washer fluid
Dilute washer fluid with water as 
necessary.
Refer to the freezing tempera-
tures listed on the label of the 
washer fluid bottle.
