211 5-4. Refueling 5 Dr iv ing WARNING ● Turn the power switch off before fueling. ● Ensure the hydrogen gas noz- zle is locked onto the vehicle receptacle before filling. This can be done by pulling on the hydrogen gas nozzle to check that it cannot be pulled off. Fail- ure to do so may result in injury or damage to the hydrogen gas nozzle or vehicle. ● Do not smoke while fueling. ● Because the fuel is cold, the hydrogen gas nozzle and vehi- cle receptacle surface will become cold, and frost may develop. After fueling is com- pleted, remove the hydrogen gas nozzle by the plastic handle only. Do not touch any other parts of the hydrogen gas noz- zle or vehicle receptacle with bare hands immediately after fueling, as frostbite may occur. ● Be sure to use hydrogen gas nozzles at 350 bar/700 bar for passenger vehicles. Do not use hydrogen gas noz- zles designed for commercial vehicles. Check the instructions at hydrogen station or ask the station operator for assistance. ● Only fuel the vehicle at hydro- gen stations designed for pas- senger vehicles. Do not fuel the vehicle at hydrogen stations designed for forklifts, buses, or trucks. Ask the station operator for assistance. NOTICE ■ When filling ● Fuel only with compressed hydrogen gas at stations com- pliant with the Society of Auto- motive Engineers (SAE) J2601 fueling protocol or laws that may supersede such SAE protocols. If improper fuels are used, the fuel cell stack will be damaged. ● Do not swing or drop the hydro- gen gas nozzle, or subject it to a large amount of force. Doing so may cause damage. ● If the hydrogen gas nozzle can- not be removed after fueling, it may be frozen to the vehicle receptacle. Wait for the hydro- gen gas nozzle to thaw before attempting to remove. Do not pull or rotate the hydrogen gas nozzle forcibly. Failure to follow these precautions may cause damage. ● Be sure to replace the cap after filling. If foreign material gets in the vehicle receptacle, it may cause damage. ● Do not put anything sharp, such as a screwdriver, blade, or any foreign object into the opening of the vehicle receptacle. If the vehicle receptacle is damaged, hydrogen gas may leak during fueling. ● If you notice anything unusual about the vehicle receptacle, please notify your Toyota dealer. ● If you notice anything unusual with the hydrogen dispenser or hydrogen gas nozzle, please notify the hydrogen station operator.
