If you leave the fuel filler door open and
start the hybrid system, a message
“CLOSE FUEL LID” will appear. Make sure
the fuel filler door is closed.
CAUTION
Make sure the cap is installed se-
curely to prevent fuel spillage in
the event of an accident.
Use only a genuine Toyota fuel tank
cap for replacement. It is designed
to regulate fuel tank pressure.
NOTICE
Finish refueling within 30 minutes. If
more than 30 minutes passes, the in-
ternal valve closes. In this condition,
fuel may spill out if you continue to
refuel the vehicle. About 5 minutes
after the valve is closed, a message
“CLOSE FUEL LID” will appear on the
display. To refuel the vehicle again,
tighten the fuel tank cap and close
the fuel filler door, and then push the
fuel filler door opener switch again.
If the opener is not actuated, contact
your Toyota dealer to service the ve-
hicle. If you must refuel your vehicle,
you can open the fuel filler door manu-
ally as instructed below.
The system to lower internal pressure
in the fuel tank may not be functioning
so you must turn the cap slowly with
releasing the pressure. In addition, fuel
may spill out during refueling. Fill the
fuel tank carefully and slowly. 1. Open the left side auxiliary box in
the luggage compartment.
2. Pull the manual lock release tab.
The fuel filler door will open.
3. Turn the cap slowly counterclock- wise.
You may hear a slight swoosh when
you remove the cap.
CAUTION
When opening the cap, do not remove
it quickly. The fuel may spray out of
the filler opening if the cap is sud-
denly removed.

switch, the moonroof will tilt down while
the switch is depressed and stop when
released.
Open moonroof reminder: If the moon-
roof is left open when you turn the ignition
key to the “ACC” or “LOCK” position and

Key off operation: If all the side doors
and back door are closed, it works for 43
seconds even after the ignition switch is
turned off. It stops working when either
front door is opened.
Jam protection function:
If something gets caught between the
moonroof and frame during slide clos-
ing operation, the moonroof stops and
then opens slightly.
If something gets caught between the
moonroof and frame during tilting down
operation, the moonroof stops and then
tilts up fully.
If the moonroof receives a strong impact,
this function may work even if nothing is
caught. If the moon roof does not operate auto-
matically or the jam protection function
does not operate correctly, you should
normalize the moon roof.
To normalize the moon roof, push and
hold the switch toward the “TILT UP” side.
The moon roof will tilt up and down, then
slide open and close. After the slide close
operation, release the switch.
Make sure that the moon roof opens and
closes automatically. If the moon roof can-
not be operated properly, have it checked
by your Toyota dealer.
CAUTION
To avoid serious personal injury, you
must do the following.
While the vehicle is moving, always
keep the heads, hands and other
parts of the bodies of all occupants
away from the roof opening. Other-
wise, they could be seriously in-
jured if the vehicle stops suddenly
or if the vehicle is involved in an
accident.
Before you close the moonroof, al-
ways make sure there is nobody
around the moonroof. You must
also make sure nobody places his
or her head, hands and other parts
of the body in the roof opening. If
someone’s neck, head or hands get
caught in the closing roof, it could
result in death or serious injury.
When anyone closes the moonroof,
first make sure it is safe to do so.
Be sure to remove the ignition key
when you leave your vehicle.
