ly.
REAR DOOR CHILD−PROTECTORS
Move the lock lever to the “LOCK”
position as shown on the label.
This feature allows you to lock a rear
door so it can be opened from the outside
only, not from inside. We recommend us-
ing this feature whenever small children
are in the vehicle.
CAUTION
Before driving, be sure that the doors
are closed and locked, especially
when small children are in the ve-
hicle. Along with the proper use of
seat belts, locking the doors helps
prevent the driver and passengers
from being thrown out from the ve-
hicle during an accident. It also helps
prevent the doors from being opened
unintentionally.

CAUTION
To avoid serious personal injury, you
must do the following.
Always make sure the head, hands
and other parts of the body of all
occupants are kept completely in-
side the vehicle before you close
the power windows. If someone’s
neck, head or hands gets caught in
a closing window, it could result in
a serious injury. When anyone
closes the power windows, be sure
that they operate the windows safe-
ly.
When small children are in the ve-
hicle, never let them use the power
window switches without supervi-
sion. Use the window lock switch to
prevent them from making unex-
pected use of the switches.
Never leave small children alone in
the vehicle, especially with the igni-
tion key still inserted. They could
use the power window switches and
get trapped in a window. Unat-
tended children can become in-
volved in serious accidents.

ing. This not only keeps the luggage

When refueling, you must use a special
nozzle that meets ANSI/AGA
NGV−1−1994 standards.
There are three types of nozzles. Use
a P36 type nozzle for this vehicle. If a
P36 nozzle is not available at a nearby
CNG station, you may use another type
of nozzle, but you cannot expect to get
a completely full tank with it.
For your safety, ask and follow the in-
structions at the refueling station when
refueling.
Before starting to refuel, wipe off mud
or dirt that may be deposited around
the fuel receptacle.
You will hear a chattering noise from the
tank when it is being filled, but this is
quite normal.
If you hear fuel leaking from the fuel re-
ceptacle, stop refueling immediately and
have your authorized Toyota CNG dealer
check the fuel receptacle.
For information on CNG stations, refer to
the station “Refueling station information”
on page iii in the beginning of this manu-
al.CAUTION
In order to safety refuel and avoid
serious personal injury, ask the
CNG station staff to refuel the ve-
hicle with CNG for you.
Do not start the engine while refuel-
ing. As the natural gas is flam-
mable, an explosion or a fire could
occur. Also, do not smoke or allow
open flames when refueling.
If you smell or hear fuel leaking
while refueling, immediately stop re-
fueling. Do not refuel it until after
the leak has been repaired.
There are two ways of natural gas re-
fueling: high and low speed. This manu-
al explains typical high speed refueling.
As for the low speed refueling method,
follow the instructions provided by the
manufacturer for the refueling equipments.
1. To open the refueling plug door, pull
the lever up.
When refueling, turn off the engine.

fuel receptacle.3. Fit the filling nozzle securely on the
fuel receptacle.
There are various types of filling nozzles
so follow the instructions at each CNG
station.4. Turn the valve lever to fasten the
nozzle to the fuel receptacle and to
start filling the tank.

5. Refueling will stop automatically
when the tank is full. When discon-
necting the filling nozzle, follow the
instructions of the refueling station.
Reverse the procedure to disconnect the
nozzle after filling the tank.
When disconnecting the filling nozzle, you
may hear a brief hissing sound as a small
amount of fuel escapes, but this is nor-
mal.
