■Installing the fuel cell stack
cover
Install the fuel cell stack cover.
1 Attach the hooks on the rear
side of the fuel cell stack
cover.
2 Insert the front side of the
fuel cell stack cover on the
pins.
The coolant level is satisfactory
if it is between the “MAX” and
“MIN” lines on the reservoir when the fuel cell system is
cold.

“MIN” line
If the level is on or below the “MIN”
line, add coolant up to the “MAX”
line. ( P.490)
■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.493)
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.
Checking the radiator and
condenser
WARNING
■When the fuel cell system is
hot
Do not touch the radiator or con-
denser as they may be hot and
cause serious injuries, such as
burns.

If you think something
is wrong
If you notice any of the fol-
lowing symptoms, your
vehicle probably needs
adjustment or repair. Con-
tact your Toyota dealer as
soon as possible.

When trouble arises
If the high coolant tempera-
ture warning light comes on or
flashes
1 Stop the vehicle in a safe
place and turn off the air con-
ditioning system, and then
stop the fuel cell system.
2 If you see steam:
Carefully lift the hood after
the steam subsides.
If you do not see steam:
Carefully lift the hood.
3 After the fuel cell system has
cooled down sufficiently,
inspect the hoses and radia- tor core (radiator) for any
leaks.

coolant is not low:
Have the vehicle inspected at
the nearest Toyota dealer.
Even if the fuel cell stack cool-
ant is low, do not refill it.
If the fuel cell system over-
heat warning light comes on

place and turn off the air con-
ditioning system, and then
stop the fuel cell system.

able.
6 Start the fuel cell system and
turn the air conditioning sys-
tem on to check that the radi-
ator cooling fan operate and
to check for coolant leaks
from the radiator or hoses.
The fan operate when the air condi-
tioning system is turned on immedi-
ately after a cold s tart. Confirm that
the fan is operating by checking the
fan sound and air flow. If it is diffi-
cult to check these, turn the air con-
ditioning system on and off
repeatedly.
(The fan may not o perate in freez-
ing temperatures.)
7 If the fan is not operating:
Stop the fuel cell system
immediately and contact your
Toyota dealer.
If the fan is operating:
Have the vehicle inspected at
the nearest Toyota dealer.
WARNING
■When inspecting under the
hood of your vehicle
Observe the following precau-
tions.
Failure to do so may result in seri-
ous injury such as burns.
●If steam is seen coming from
under the hood, do not open the
hood until the steam has sub-
sided. The fuel cell unit com-
partment may be very hot.
●Even if fuel cell system has
stopped, the cooling fan may
begin to move suddenly.
Do not touch or approach the
rotating parts of the fan. Doing
so may lead to fingers, clothes
or tools getting caught, resulting
in injury.
●Do not loosen the coolant reser-
voir caps or radia tor cap, while
the fuel cell system and radiator
are hot.
High temperature steam or
coolant could spray out.
NOTICE
■When inverter coolant
Add coolant slowly after the fuel
cell system has cooled down suffi-
ciently. Adding inverter cool cool-
ant to a hot fuel cell system too
quickly can cause damage to the
fuel cell system.
■To prevent damage to the
cooling system
Observe the following precau-
tions:
●Avoid contaminating the coolant
with foreign matter (such as
sand or dust etc.).
●Do not use any coolant additive
with inverter coolant.
●For replacement of the fuel cell
stack coolant, contact your Toy-
ota dealer.
●Do not use water or any other
coolant when refilling the fuel
cell stack coolant. Also, do not
use any additive agents for the
coolant.
