Opening the fuel tank cap
Perform the following steps to open the fuel tank cap:
Before refueling the vehicle
â– Fuel tank opening for unleaded gasoline
To help prevent incorrect fueling, your vehicle has a fuel tank opening that only accommodates the special nozzle on unleaded fuel pumps.
â– If the malfunction indicator lamp illuminates
The malfunction indicator lamp may illuminate erroneously if refueling is performed repeatedly when the fuel tank is nearly full.
WARNING
â– When refueling the vehicle
Observe the following precautions while refueling the vehicle. Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
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.
Fuel contains substances that are harmful if inhaled.
Doing so may cause the fuel to ignite and cause a fire.
â– When refueling
Observe the following precautions to prevent fuel overflowing from the fuel tank:
NOTICE
â– Refueling
Do not spill fuel during refueling.
Doing so may damage the vehicle, such as causing the emission control system to operate abnormally or damaging fuel system components or the vehicle's painted surface.
Opening the fuel tank cap
1. Pull up the opener to open the fuel filler door.

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

Closing the fuel tank cap
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.

â– When "Check Fuel Cap" is displayed on the multi-information display
The fuel tank cap may be unfastened or loose. Turn the engine switch to OFF, check the cap and tighten it securely. If the message remains, wait a few seconds and then turn the engine switch to OFF once again.
WARNING
â– When replacing the fuel tank 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.
