5-1. Before driving

ing

WARNING

■

When starting the vehicle

Always keep your foot on the

brake pedal while stopped with

the “READY” indicator is illumi-

nated. This prevents the vehicle

from creeping.

■

When driving the vehicle

●

Do not drive if you 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 response in an emer-

gency, resulting in an accident.

●

The driver should pay extra

attention to pedestrians 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, drive 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 an emergency,

such as if it becomes impossible

to stop the vehicle in the normal

way:



P.432

●

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 failure, 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.

164

5-1. Before driving

WARNING

●

Sudden acceleration or regen-

erative braking due to shifting

could cause the vehicle to skid.

●

After driving through a puddle,

lightly depress the brake pedal

to make sure that the brakes

are functioning properly. Wet

brake pads may prevent the

brakes from functioning prop-

erly. If the brakes on only one

side are wet and not functioning

properly, steering control may

be affected.

■

When shifting the shift posi-

tion

●

Do not let the vehicle roll back-

ward while a forward driving

position is selected, or roll for-

ward while the shift position is in

Doing so may result in an acci-

dent or damage to the vehicle.

●

Do not shift the shift position to

P while the vehicle is moving.

Doing so can damage the trans-

mission and may result in a loss

of vehicle control.

●

Do not shift the shift position to

R while the vehicle is moving

forward.

Doing so can damage the trans-

mission and may result in a loss

of vehicle control.

●

Do not shift the shift position to

a driving position while the vehi-

cle is moving backward.

Doing so can damage the trans-

mission and may result in a loss

of vehicle control.

●

Changing the shift position to N

while the vehicle is moving will

disengage the fuel cell system.

Regenerative braking is not

available with the fuel cell sys-

tem disengaged.

●

Be careful not to change the

shift position with the accelera-

tor pedal depressed. Changing

the shift position to any posi-

tions other than P or N may lead

to unexpected rapid accelera-

tion of the vehicle that may

cause an accident and result in

death or serious injury.

After changing the shift position,

make sure to confirm the cur-

rent shift position displayed on

the shift position indicator inside

the meter.

■

If you hear a squealing or

scraping noise (brake pad

wear limit indicators)

Have the brake pads checked and

replaced by your Toyota dealer as

soon as possible.

Rotor damage may result if the

pads are not replaced when

needed.

It is dangerous to drive the vehicle

when the wear limits of the brake

pads and/or those of the brake

discs are exceeded.

■

When the vehicle is stopped

●

Do not depress the accelerator

pedal unnecessarily.

If the shift position is in any

position other than P or N, the

vehicle may accelerate sud-

denly and unexpectedly, caus-

ing an accident.

●

In order to prevent accidents

due to the vehicle rolling away,

always keep depressing the

brake pedal while stopped with

the “READY” indicator is illumi-

nated, and apply the parking

brake as necessary.

165

5-1. Before driving

ing

WARNING

●

If the vehicle is stopped on an

incline, in order to prevent acci-

dents caused by the vehicle roll-

ing forward or backward, always

depress the brake pedal and

securely apply the parking

brake as needed.

■

When the vehicle is parked

●

Do not leave glasses, cigarette

lighters, spray cans, or soft

drink cans in the vehicle when it

is in the sun.

Doing so may result in the fol-

lowing:

• Gas may leak from a cigarette

lighter or spray can, and may

lead to a fire.

• The temperature inside the

vehicle may cause the plastic

lenses and plastic material of

glasses to deform or crack.

• Soft drink cans may fracture,

causing the contents to spray

over the interior of the vehicle,

and may also cause a short cir-

cuit in the vehicle’s electrical

components.

●

Do not leave cigarette lighters in

the vehicle. If a cigarette lighter

is in a place such as the glove

box or on the floor, it may be lit

accidentally when luggage is

loaded or the seat is adjusted,

causing a fire.

●

Do not attach adhesive discs to

the windshield or windows. Do

not place containers such as air

fresheners on the instrument

panel or dashboard. Adhesive

discs or containers may act as

lenses, causing a fire in the

vehicle.

●

Do not leave a door or window

open if the curved glass is

coated with a metallized film

such as a silver-colored one.

Reflected sunlight may cause

the glass to act as a lens, caus-

ing a fire.

●

Always apply the parking brake,

shift the shift position to P, stop

the fuel cell system and lock the

vehicle.

Do not leave the vehicle unat-

tended while the “READY” indi-

cator is illuminated.

If the vehicle is parked with the

shift position in P but the park-

ing brake is not set, the vehicle

may start to move, possibly

leading to an accident.

■

When taking a nap in the vehi-

cle

Always turn the fuel cell system

off. Otherwise, if you accidentally

move the shift lever or depress

the accelerator pedal, causing the

vehicle to unintentionally move,

which can lead to an accident,

resulting in death or serious injury.

■

When braking

●

When the brakes are wet, drive

more cautiously.

Braking distance increases

when the brakes are wet, and

this may cause one side of the

vehicle to brake differently than

the other side. Also, the parking

brake may not securely hold the

vehicle.

●

If the electronically controlled

brake system does not operate,

do not follow other vehicles

closely and avoid hills or sharp

turns that require braking.

In this case, braking is still pos-

sible, but the brake pedal

should be depressed more

firmly than usual. Also, the brak-

ing distance will increase. Have

your brakes fixed immediately.

166

5-1. Before driving

WARNING

●

The brake system consists of 2

or more individual hydraulic sys-

tems; if one of the systems fails,

the other(s) will still operate. In

this case, the brake pedal

should be depressed more

firmly than usual and the brak-

ing distance will increase. Have

your brakes fixed immediately.

NOTICE

■

When driving the vehicle

●

Do not depress the accelerator

and brake pedals at the same

time during driving, as this may

restrain the fuel cell system out-

put.

●

Do not use the accelerator

pedal or depress the accelera-

tor and brake pedals at the

same time to hold the vehicle on

a hill.

■

When parking the vehicle

Always set the parking brake, and

shift the shift position to P. Failure

to do so may cause the vehicle to

move or the vehicle may acceler-

ate suddenly if the accelerator

pedal is accidentally depressed.

■

Avoiding damage to vehicle

parts

●

Do not turn the steering wheel

fully in either direction and hold

it there for an extended period

of time.

Doing so may damage the

power steering motor.

●

When driving over bumps in the

road, drive as slowly as possible

to avoid damaging the wheels,

underside of the vehicle, etc.

■

If you get a flat tire while driv-

ing

A flat or damaged tire may cause

the following situations. Hold the

steering wheel firmly and gradu-

ally depress the brake pedal to

slow down the vehicle.

●

It may be difficult to control your

vehicle.

●

The vehicle will make abnormal

sounds or vibrations.

●

The vehicle will lean abnor-

mally.

: Depending on the situation, the

shift position may not be
changed.

■

Drive-Start Control (DSC)

●

When the TRAC is turned off

(



P.316), sudden start restraint

control also does not operate. If

your vehicle have trouble escap-

ing from the mud or fresh snow

due to sudden start restraint con-

trol operation, deactivate TRAC

(

P.316) so that the vehicle may

become able to escape from the

mud or fresh snow.

Cargo capacity depends on the
total weight of the occupants.
(Cargo capacity) = (Total load
capacity) — (Total weight of
occupants)
Steps for Determining Correct
Load Limit —
(1) Locate the statement “The
combined weight of occupants
and cargo should never exceed
XXX kg or XXX lbs.” on your
vehicle’s placard.
(2) Determine the combined
weight of the driver and passen-
gers that will be riding in your
vehicle.
(3) Subtract the combined
weight of the driver and passen-
gers from XXX kg or XXX lbs.
(4) The resulting figure equals
the available amount of cargo
and luggage load capacity.
For example, if the “XXX”
amount equals 1400 lbs. and
there will be five 150 lb passen-
gers in your vehicle, the amount
of available cargo and luggage
load capacity is 650 lbs. (1400 −

NOTICE

If the shift control system is dam-

aged by flooding, it may not be

possible to shift the shift position

to P, or from P to other positions.

In this case, contact your Toyota

dealer.

5-1. Before driving

750 (5



150) = 650 lbs.)

(5) Determine the combined
weight of luggage and cargo
being loaded on the vehicle.
That weight may not safely
exceed the available cargo and
luggage load capacity calcu-
lated in Step 4.
(6) If your vehicle will be towing
a trailer, load from your trailer
will be transferred to your vehi-
cle. Consult this manual to
determine how this reduces the
available cargo and luggage
load capacity of your vehicle.
(



P.170)

Toyota does not recommend towing
a trailer with your vehicle. Your
vehicle is not designed for trailer
towing.

Cargo capacity

Total load capacity (vehicle
capacity weight) (



P.482)

When 2 people with the com-
bined weight of A lb. (kg) are rid-
ing in your vehicle, which has a

total load capacity (vehicle
capacity weight) of B lb. (kg),
the available amount of cargo
and luggage load capacity will
be C lb. (kg) as follows:

lb. (kg) - A

lb. (kg) = C

lb.

(kg)

:A =Weight of people

:B =Total load capacity

:C =Available cargo and luggage

load

In this condition, if 3 more passen-
gers with the combined weight of D
lb. (kg) get on, the available cargo
and luggage load will be reduced E
lb. (kg) as follows:

C lb. (kg) - D

lb. (kg) = E

lb.

(kg)

:D =Additional weight of people

:E =Available cargo and luggage

load

As shown in the example above,
if the number of occupants
increases, the cargo and lug-
gage load will be reduced by an
amount that equals the
increased weight due to the
additional occupants. In other
words, if an increase in the num-
ber of occupants causes an
excess of the total load capacity
(combined weight of occupants
plus cargo and luggage load),
you must reduce the cargo and
luggage on your vehicle.
