Installation of a mobile
two−way radio system
As the installation of a mobile two−way radio system in
your vehicle could affect electronic systems such as
multiport fuel injection system/sequential multiport fuel
injection system, cruise control system, anti−lock brake
system, SRS airbag system and seat belt pretensioner
system, be sure to check with your authorized Toyota
CNG dealer for precautionary measures or special
instructions regarding installation.
Scrapping of your Toyota
The SRS airbag and seat belt pretensioner devices in
your Toyota contain explosive chemicals. If the vehicle
is scrapped with the airbags and pretensioners left as
they are, this may cause an accident such as fire. Be
sure to have the systems of the SRS airbag and seat
belt pretensioner removed and disposed of by the quali-
fied service shop or by your authorized Toyota CNG
dealer before you dispose of your vehicle.

Precautions for CNG
Your vehicle may use compressed natural gas (CNG) for
fuel.
Handle the CNG vehicle with care as the fuel tank
and pipes of it are filled with extremely high pres-
sure gas. In this case, close the manual shutoff
valve and have your authorized Toyota CNG dealer
carry out an inspection.
You will be able to tell if fuel is leaking out of the
vehicle by the sound of the leaking fuel and the
smell of the fuel.
Be careful not to run out of fuel. There are less
CNG stations than gasoline stations so we recom-
mend that you refuel early.
For details, see “Fuel” and “Fuel system” in Section 2.

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 v in the beginning of this manual.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.
This indicates that the refueling plug
door is on the left side of your vehicle.

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.2. Remove the rubber cap.
Check there is no mud or dirt around the
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.
