CAUTION  
Always hold the grips on the fuel tank cap and turn it slowly to remove it.  
A whooshing sound may be heard when the fuel tank cap is loosened.  
Wait until the sound cannot be heard before fully removing the cap.  
In hot weather, pressurized fuel may spray out of the filler neck and cause  
injury.  
Do not allow anyone that has not discharged static electricity from their  
bodies to come close to an open fuel tank.  
Do not inhale vaporized fuel.  
Fuel contains substances that are harmful if inhaled.  
Do not smoke while refueling the vehicle.  
Doing so may cause the fuel to ignite and cause a fire.  
Do not return to the vehicle or touch any person or object that is statically  
charged.  
This may cause static electricity to build up, resulting in a possible ignition  
hazard.  
When replacing the fuel cap  
Do not use anything but a genuine Toyota fuel tank cap designed for your  
vehicle. Doing so may cause a fire or other incident which may result in  
death or serious injury.  
NOTICE  
Refueling  
Do not spill fuel during refueling.  
Doing so may damage the vehicle, such as causing the exhaust systems to  
operate abnormally or damaging fuel system components or the vehicle's  
painted surface.
