Fuel tank cap  
CANCELLING THE SYSTEM  
The system will be cancelled by the  
above mentioned two ways.  
If the tail lights come on for 2 seconds,  
the theft deterrent system has been  
alarmed. Check to see if there is any  
abnormality on your vehicle.  
TESTING THE SYSTEM  
1. Open all the windows.  
2. Set the system as described above.  
The doors should be locked with the  
mechanical key, wireless remote control  
transmitter or smart function. Be sure  
to wait until the indicator light goes off  
or starts flashing.  
This indicates that the fuel filler door  
is on the left side of your vehicle.  
1. To open the fuel filler door, pull the  
lever up.  
When refueling, turn off the hybrid  
system.  
3. Unlock any door from the inside. The  
system should activate the alarm.  
4. Stop the alarm as described above.  
5. Repeat this operation for the other  
doors and hood. When testing the back  
door, also check that the system is  
activated when the 12 volt battery ter-  
minal is disconnected and then recon-  
nected. When testing the hood, release  
the lock with the hood lock release  
lever and raise the hood.  
If the system does not work properly,  
have it checked by your Toyota dealer.

CAUTION  
2
1
Do not smoke, cause spark or allow  
open flames when refueling. The  
fumes are flammable.  
When opening the cap, do not re-  
move the cap quickly. In hot weath-  
er, fuel under pressure could cause  
injury by spraying out the filler  
neck if the cap is suddenly re-  
moved.  
Do not fuel additionally after initial  
auto−stop filling up, or fuel may  
splash out.  
2. To remove the fuel tank cap, turn  
the cap counterclockwise by 90 de-  
grees (to the pressure point 1), and  
then turn it a additional 30 degrees  
(to point 2). Pause slightly before  
removing it.  
3. The removed cap can be stored on  
the back side of the fuel filler door.  
Position the cap so that the hooks point  
to the left and right, and set it in the  
receptacle on the back side of the door.  
When installing the cap, turn the cap  
clockwise until you hear a click. When  
you hear the click, the cap is fully  
closed.  
It is not unusual to hear a slight swoosh  
when the cap is opened.  
If the cap is not tightened securely, the  
malfunction indicator lamp comes on.  
Make sure the cap is tightened securely.  
The indicator lamp goes off after driving  
several times. If the indicator lamp does  
not go off, contact your Toyota dealer as  
soon as possible.

CAUTION  
Make sure the cap is installed se-  
curely to prevent fuel spillage in  
the event of an accident.  
Use only a genuine Toyota fuel tank  
cap for replacement. It is designed  
to regulate fuel tank pressure.  
NOTICE  
To prevent damage to the cap, apply  
force only in the turning direction to  
the cap. Do not pull or pry it.
