Electromagnetic waves (EMF)
●
High-voltage parts and cables in
fuel cell vehicles have an electro-
magnetic shielding configuration,
and therefore emit approximately
the same amount of electromag-
netic waves as conventional gaso-
line-powered vehicles or home
electronic appliances.
●
Your vehicle may cause sound
interference in some third party-
produced radio parts.

Hydrogen Gas Characteristics
●
Hydrogen gas ignites more easily than gasoline, however it is light than air
and disperses quickly. The hydrogen system and tank sufficiently serve as
a counter-measure to prevent gas leaks. However, if by chance there is a
gas leak, the hydrogen gas is rapidly diluted until it is no longer flammable.
●
As with gasoline and natural gas, hydrogen gas is not dangerous if it is
handled properly. Thoroughly read and understand the characteristics
shown in the table below.

extremely cold (below approxi-
mately -22˚F [-30˚C]) under the
influence of outside temperature, it
may not be possible to start the fuel
cell system. In this case, try to start
the fuel cell system again after the
temperature of the traction battery
increases due to the outside tem-
perature increase etc.
■
The traction battery has a limited
service life. The lifespan of the trac-
tion battery can change according to
driving style and driving conditions.
