Important! Read this informa-
tion about exposure to radio fre-
quency signals before using 
Safety Connect;
The Safety Connect system 
installed in your vehicle is a low-
power radio transmitter and 
receiver. It receives and also 
sends out radio frequency (RF) 
signals.
In August 1996, the Federal 
Communications Commission 

(FCC) adopted RF exposure 
guidelines with safety levels for 
mobile wireless phones. Those 
guidelines are consistent with 
the safety standards previously 
set by the following U.S. and 
international standards bodies.

ANSI (American National 
Standards Institute) C95.1 
[1992]

NCRP (National Council on 
Radiation Protection and 
Measurement) Report 86 
[1986]

ICNIRP (International Com-
mission on Non-Ionizing Radi-
ation Protection) [1996]

Those standards were based on 
comprehensive and periodic 
evaluations of the relevant sci-
entific literature. Over 120 scien-
tists, engineers, and physicians 
from universities, and govern-
ment health agencies and 
industries reviewed the avail-
able body of research to 
develop the ANSI Standard 
(C95.1).
The design of Safety Connect 
complies with the FCC guide-
lines in addition to those stan-
dards.

a fuel cell stack, and electricity charged in a traction battery 
to drive the electric motor (traction motor).

The fuel is H

2

 (compressed hydrogen gas), so the exhaust is 

only water and water vapor. As they do not release emissions 
such as CO

2

 (Carbon Dioxide) and NO

Sounds unique to the fuel cell vehicle

Due to the design of your fuel cell vehicle, there are various relays, valves 

and pumps which under normal driving conditions will produce sounds. This 

is a normal characteristic of the vehicle and does not indicate a malfunction.
Furthermore, these sounds may differ based on usage environment or con-

dition.

Maintenance, repair, recycling, 

and disposal

Contact your Toyota dealer regard-

ing maintenance, repair, recycling, 

and disposal. Do not dispose of the 

vehicle or any of its components 

Noticeable sounds

(Sounds may be heard when pressing the P 
position switch or stopping the fuel cell sys-
tem.)

Whooshing, squealing

Gas is flowing through the nozzle and valves
(Sounds may be heard when filling the fuel.)

it is cold to prevent freezing.
(Sounds may be heard when vehicle is 
stopped, fuel cell system is stopped or while 
parked)

yourself.

The electric motor (traction 
motor) allows smooth, powerful 
takeoff and acceleration. This 
vehicle drives similarly to a gas-
oline vehicle without any special 
actions by the driver. (

P.161) 

As there are no engine sounds 
and the vehicle is quiet, opera-
tion noises unique to fuel cell 
vehicle components may be 
heard. (

P.75)

Regenerative braking

In the following situations, the vehi-

cle generates electricity from the 

deceleration of the vehicle while 

driving.

The accelerator pedal is released 

while driving with the shift position 

in D.

The brake pedal is depressed 

while driving with the shift position 

in D.

Charging the traction battery

Because electricity generated by the 

fuel cell stack and regenerative 

braking charges the traction battery, 

the battery does not need to be 

charged from an outside source. 

However, if the vehicle is left parked 

for a long time, the traction battery 

will slowly discharge. For this rea-

son, be sure to drive the vehicle at 

least once every few months for at 

least 30 minutes or 10 miles (16 

km).
If the traction battery becomes fully 

discharged and you are unable to 

start the fuel cell system, contact 

your Toyota dealer.

Charging the 12-volt battery

P.473

Parking

Because there is no engine sound 

or vibration, it is easy to mistake the 

fuel cell vehicle for being off when it 

is actually still running (“READY” 

indicator is illuminated). For safety, 

make sure to always shift the shift 

position to P and apply the parking 

brake when parked.

The system may behave differ-
ently on cold days as it may be 
performing a special cold-start 
process to improve the start up 
performance. (

P.172)

Operation noises (

P.75), 

purge process (

P.175), etc., 

may differ from usual. However, 
this is not a malfunction.

Compressed hydrogen gas fuel 
can be filled at hydrogen sta-
tions.

More information about hydrogen 
fuel and fueling can be found in the 
“Opening the fuel door” section of 
this manual. (

P.203)

Fuel cell vehicles do not have 
engine sounds like gasoline 
vehicles. Therefore, a sound 
that changes in accordance with 
the driving speed, will be played

23 mph (37 km/h).

How to hear the warning

In the following cases, the acoustic 

vehicle alerting system may be diffi-

cult for surrounding people to hear.

In very noisy areas

In the wind or the rain

Also, as the acoustic vehicle alerting

vehicle, it may be more difficult to 

hear from the rear of the vehicle 

compared to the front.

This system operates based on 
the driving situation to enhance 
fuel economy. For details about 
Predictive efficient drive, refer to

When the vehicle approaches 
to predictive deceleration sup-
port points registered in the 
navigation system, the refer-
ence operation range   of 

the ECO Accelerator Guid-
ance (

P.102) on the multi-

turned off to encourage the 
driver to reduce excessive 
acceleration.

The regenerative braking 
force will be increased 
according to the driving condi-
tions to more efficiently 
charge the traction battery 
after the accelerator pedal is 
released.

Predictive SOC

 control

The following types of controls 
are performed based on data 
such as road information during 
route guidance by the naviga-
tion system to help ensure that 
the vehicle efficiently uses elec-
tricity.

When there is a long downhill 
slope along the route, the sys-
tem reduces the traction bat-
tery level before reaching the 
slope to help ensure charging 
capacity for regenerative
