WARNING

    When refueling

Observe the following precautions to prevent fuel overflowing from the fuel tank:

    Securely insert the fuel nozzle into the fuel filler neck.
    Stop filling the tank after the fuel nozzle automatically clicks off.
    Do not top off the fuel tank.

NOTICE

    Refueling

Do not spill fuel during refueling. Doing so may damage the vehi- cle, such as causing the emission control system to operate abnor- mally or damaging fuel system components or the vehicle’s painted surface.

2 Turn the fuel tank cap slowly to open it and put it into the holder on the fuel filler door.

After refueling, turn the fuel tank cap until you hear a click. Once the cap is released, it will turn slightly in the opposite direction.

    When “Check Fuel Cap” is dis- played on the multi-information display

The fuel tank cap may be unfas- tened or loose. Turn the engine switch off, check the cap and tighten it securely. If the message remains, wait a few seconds and then turn the engine switch off once again.

WARNING

    When replacing the fuel tank cap

Do not use anything but a genu- ine Toyota fuel tank cap designed for your vehicle. Doing so may cause a fire or other incident which may result in death or seri- ous injury.
