FUEL TANK CAPACITY45 L (11.9 gal., 9.9 lmp.gal.)
The given fuel tank capacity is measured
on EPA/CARB ORVR testing condition
which is approved for nominal capacity
measurement condition.
The fuel tank capacity is decreased at low
ambient temperature. (decreased by about
5 L (1.3 gal., 1.1 lmp.gal.) at −10 C
(14 F).)
Fuel pump shutoff system
The fuel pump shut −off system stops sup-
plying fuel to the engine to minimize the
risk of fuel leakage when the engine stalls
or an airbag inflates upon collision. To
restart the hybrid system after the fuel
pump shut −off system activates, press the
“POWER” switch to the “OFF” mode and
start it.
CAUTION
Inspect the ground under the vehicle
before restarting the hybrid system. If
you find that liquid has leaked onto
the ground, the fuel system has been
damaged and it is in need of repair.
In this case, do not restart the hybrid
system.
If you plan to drive your Toyota in
another country...
First , comply with the vehicle registration
laws.
Second, confirm the availability of the cor-
rect fuel (unleaded and minimum octane
number).
