For safety and security
WARNING
●If the Pop Up Hood has oper-
ated, have it replaced by your
Toyota dealer. If the Pop Up
Hood has operated, stop the
vehicle in a safe place and con-
tact your Toyota dealer.
●Do not touch the lifters immedi-
ately after the Pop Up Hood has
operated, as the lifters may be
hot and burn you.
NOTICE
■Pop Up Hood precautions
●Make sure to close the hood
before driving, as the system
may not operate properly if the
hood is not fully closed.
●Make sure that all 4 tires are of
the specified size and inflated to
the specified tire pressure. If
tires of a different size are used,
the system may not operate
properly.
●If something has hit the area
around the front bumper, the
sensors may be damaged even
if the Pop Up Hood has not
operated. Have the vehicle
inspected by your Toyota
dealer.
●Do not remove or repair the
parts or wiring of the Pop Up
Hood, as doing so may cause
accidental operation or prevent
the system from operating prop-
erly. If repair or replacement is
necessary, contact your Toyota
dealer.
●Do not remove such compo-
nents as the front bumper, hood
or suspension, or replace them
with non-genuine parts, as
doing so may prevent the sys-
tem from operating properly.
●Do not install anything to the
front bumper or hood, as doing
so may prevent the sensors
from detecting an impact cor-
rectly and prevent the system
from operating properly.
●Do not close the hood with force
or apply load to the lifters, as
doing so may damage the lifters
and prevent the system from
operating properly.
●Do not modify the suspension,
as changes made to the vehicle
height may prevent the system
from operating properly.

can help reduce excessive
fuel consumption.
In summer: When the ambient
temperature is high, use the
recirculated air mode. Doing
so will help to reduce the bur-
den on the air conditioning
system and reduce fuel con-
sumption as well.
In winter: Avoid excess heat-
ing. Use the seat heater (if
equipped) or steering heater
(if equipped) to minimize the
need for cabin heating
(P.351).
Using eco air conditioning
mode, this helps curb fuel
consumption even with the air
conditioning system turned
on. ( P.334, 341)
Make sure to check the tire infla-
tion pressure frequently.
Improper tire inflation pressure
can cause poor fuel economy.
Also, as snow tires can cause
large amounts of friction, their
use on dry roads can lead to
poor fuel economy. Use tires
that are appropriate for the sea-
son.
Carrying heavy luggage will lead
to reduced fuel economy. Install-
ing a large roof rack will also reduce fuel economy.

Owners Manual_USA_M62064_enup, 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.108)
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 accelerator 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
while the system is operating.
■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.497)
WARNING
Observe the following precau-
tions.
Failure to do so may result in
death or serious injury.
■When starting the vehicle
Always keep your foot on the
brake pedal while stopped with
the “READY” indica tor is illumi-
nated. This prevents the vehicle
from creeping.

WARNING
■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 4 6
●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.

■Temporary cancelation of the
ASC system functions
The ASC system may be temporar-
ily canceled depending on the driv-
ing conditions, such as when the
tires slip due to sudden accelera-
tion.
The tones may not sound if the driv-
ing mode is switched continuously
in short time periods.
When the H2O switch pressed
while the “READY” indicator is
on, the vehicle purges water.
When the switch is pressed
again, purging stops.
System purging and purging com-
plete messages are displayed in
the multi-information display.
■Water release function during
cold weather
In the following cases, the fuel cell
system automatic drainage may not
operate. It may not be possible to
start the fuel cell system due to the
fuel cell stack, hyd rogen pipes, etc.,
being frozen.
●When transporting or towing the
ASC (Active Sound
Control)*
The ASC is a system that
conveys the operating con-
ditions, such as accelera-
tion and deceleration of the
vehicle, with sounds to the
driver. The vehicle’s reac-
tion with regards to the
driver’s acceleration and
brake operations are con-
veyed with sound. The
respective tone changes for
normal mode and sport
mode. ( P.320)
Water release (H2O
switch)
When the fuel cell system is
stopped, water is automati-
cally purged from the tail-
pipe.
To minimize water accumu-
lation at parking garages,
etc., purge can be done
manually before parking.
