Owners Manual_USA_M62064_enhydrogen tanks or valves need to
be disposed.
■Fuel cell stack coolant
●Fuel cell stack coolant uses a spe-
cifically-designed fluid with high
electrical insulation properties, in
order to safely cool the high-volt-
age fuel cell stack.
●Never add water or other coolants
to the fuel cell st
ack cooling sys-
tem, as they will cause permanent
damage.
●Consult your Toyota dealer for
replenishing or changing the fuel
cell stack coolant.
■Ion filter
●An ion filter is inst alled in the cool-
ant lines for the fuel cell stack, in
order to maintain the normal insu-
lation properties of the coolant.
●It is necessary to periodically
change the ion filter. ( P.466)
Contact your Toyota dealer for this
periodic maintenance.
■Tailpipe
●When the power switch is turned
off and the fuel cell system is
stopped ( P.182) after driving,
exhaust water is discharged. Be
careful when standing behind the
vehicle to avoid dripping or spray-
ing.
●It is possible to manually purge
the exhaust. Thi s may be desir-
able, for instance, before parking
in a garage. This is done by press-
ing the H
2O switch. ( P.196)
●On cold days, water vapor in the
exhaust may appe ar as a white
mist emitted from the tailpipe. This
is not a malfunction. A white mist
may be emitted from the vehicle
side depending on the wind direc-
tion. If it is a concern, consult with
a Toyota dealer.
●If the tailpipe is blocked, the fuel
cell system will stop.
●In the following state when cold, a white mist may be emitted. Water
vapor is being emitted as a sys-
tem protection and it is not a mal-
function.
• If several minutes have passed after opening the fuel lid, such as
refueling.
• Several hours have passed after the power switch was turned off.
■Hydrogen detectors
When the power switch is turned to
ON, the hydrogen detectors are
activated.
■Power output restriction
When the power output is restricted,
the vehicle may fa il to accelerate or
even decelerate, even though the
accelerator pedal is depressed. If a
safe driving speed cannot be main-
tained, stop the ve hicle in a safe
place away from the traffic. This
may be caused by the following con-
ditions:
●The coolant temperature may be
too high. This can be caused by
driving conditions such as
repeated sudden acceleration and
deceleration, continuous driving
on an incline, continuous driving
at high altitudes with a high load,
etc. In such situations, “FCV sys-
tem overheated Output power
reduced” is displayed on the multi-
information display, and the power
output is restricted. Once the cool-
ant returns to normal temperature,
the power output will retu rn to nor-
mal. ( P.464)
●The remaining fuel may be low.
After the low fuel level warning
light comes on, the output power
will be gradually restricted in order
to extend the possible driving dis-
tance. Once getting to this point,
the remaining driving distance
possible is short. Immediately refill
the vehicle with hydrogen.
●On cold days, the low fuel level
warning light comes on faster than
usual and the output power is
restricted.

*1: These lights turn on when the power switch is turned to ON to
indicate that a system check is
being performed. They will turn
off after the fuel cell system is
on, or after a few seconds. There
may be a malfunction in a sys-
tem if the light does not come on,
or turn off. Have the vehicle
inspected by your Toyota dealer.
*2: This light illuminates on the multi-informatio n display with a
message.

onds.

WARNING
■If a safety system warning
light does not come on
Should a safety system light such
as the ABS and SRS warning light
not come on when you start the
fuel cell system, this could mean
that these system s are not avail-
able to help protect you in an acci-
dent, which could result in death
or serious injury. Have the vehicle
inspected by you r Toyota dealer
immediately if this occurs.
NOTICE
■To prevent damage to the fuel
cell system and its compo-
nents
This vehicle is equipped with high
coolant temperature warning light
( P.490), instead of, coolant tem-
perature gauge.
The fuel cell sys tem may be over-
heating if the high coolant tem-
perature warning light flashes or
comes on. In this case, immedi-
ately stop the vehicle in a safe
place, and check the fuel cell sys-
tem after it has cooled completely.

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.

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.

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 leaks:
Carefully lift the hood.
