Do not fill a fuel container on a
plastic truck bed liner, a rubber
truck bed mat, or any other insulat-
ing material. A static electricity
charge could cause a spark and fire
hazard. The proper procedure is to
place an approved fuel container on
the ground away from the truck for
filling.
2. To remove the fuel tank cap, turn
the cap slowly counterclockwise,
then pause slightly before removing
it. After removing the cap, hang it
on the cap hanger.
It is not unusual to hear a slight swoosh
when the cap is opened. When insta lling,
turn the cap clockwise till you hear a
click.
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 tightened se-
curely to prevent fuel sp illage in
case of an accident.

CAUTION
A driver or front passenger too close
to the steering wheel or dashboard
during airbag deployment can be
killed or seriously injured. Toyota
strongly recommends that:

The driver sit as far back as pos-
sible from the steering wheel while
still maintaining control of the ve-
hicle.

The front passenger sit as far back
as possible from the dashboard.

All vehicle occupants be properly
restrained using the available seat
belts.
Indicator light
The passenger airbag system is
equipped with a manual on- off switch
and indicator light. Turning the passen-
ger airbag manual on- off switch clock-
wise to the ONº position makes the
passenger airbag system operational.
Turning the passenger airbag manual
on- off switch counterclockwise to the
OFFº position disables the passenger
airbag system. The indicator light on
the passenger airbag manual on- off
switch will come on when the passen-
ger airbag system has been disabled.
See Passenger airbag manual on- off
switchº in this chapter for detail.
CAUTION

Make sure that the indicator light is
off.

Do not turn off the passenger air-
bag manual on- off switch except
when a member of a passenger risk
group identified in TABLE 1 is oc-
cupying the right front passenger
seating position.

When the passenger airbag manual
on- off switch is turned off, the pas-
senger airbag will not inflate in a
collision and turning off the pas-
senger airbag can reduce the occu-
pant protection which your vehicle
safety systems can provide to you
in certain accidents and increase
the likelihood of serious personal
injuries.
