Fuel-Filler Lid and Cap

WARNING

■When removing the fuel-filler cap, loosen the cap slightly and wait for

any hissing to stop, then remove it

Fuel spray is dangerous. Fuel can burn skin and eyes and cause illness if

ingested. Fuel spray is released when there is pressure in the fuel tank and

the fuel-filler cap is removed too quickly.

■Before refueling, stop the engine, and always keep sparks and flames

away from the filler neck

Fuel vapor is dangerous. It could be ignited by sparks or flames causing

serious burns and injuries.

Additionally, use of the incorrect fuel-filler cap or not using a fuel-filler cap

may result in a fuel leak, which could result in serious burns or death in an

accident.

■Do not continue refueling after the fuel pump nozzle shuts off automat-

ically

Continuing to add fuel after the fuel pump nozzle has shut off automatically

is dangerous because overfilling the fuel tank may cause fuel overflow or

leakage. Fuel overflow and leakage could damage the vehicle and if the fuel

ignites it could cause a fire and explosion resulting in serious injury or

death.

NOTICE

Always use only a genuine Toyota fuel-filler cap or an approved equivalent,

available at your Toyota dealer. The wrong cap can result in a serious mal-

function of the fuel and emission control systems.

It may also cause the check engine light in the combination meter to illumi-

nate.

NOTICE

If the check fuel cap warning light illuminates, the fuel-filler cap may not be

properly installed. If the warning light illuminates, park your vehicle safely off

the right-of-way, remove the fuel-filler cap and reinstall it correctly. After the

cap has been correctly installed, the fuel cap warning light may continue to

illuminate until a number of driving cycles have been completed. A drive

cycle consists of starting the engine (after four or more hours with the

engine off) and driving the vehicle on city and highway roads.

Continuing to drive with the check fuel cap warning light illuminated could

cause the check engine light to illuminate as well.
