Driver's cab

The front ends have an emergency exit. Headlights and taillights are round. Sets are fitted with skirts. These were modified on sets transferred to the Tōzai Line.

The trains originally had a two-handle control system. Tōzai Line sets were modified with a single-handle (left-hand) system on transfer to the Tōzai Line.
The Tōzai Line sets have a master controller which incorporates a deadman system which applies the brakes if the master controller is released by the driver.
