CAUTION
D Make sure the cap is tightened se-
curely to prevent fuel spillage in
the event of an accident.
D 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.
2. To remove the fuel tank cap, turn
the cap counterclockwise. Pause
slightly before removing it.
3. The removed cap can be hanged on
the cap hanger.
When installing the cap, turn it clock-
wise until one click is heard, in order
to fully close it. The cap returns slight-
ly when your hand is released from the
cap after closure, however this does
not cause any problems.
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.
