Before driving
CAUTION
nRefueling the vehicle
Observe the following precautions while refueling the vehicle.
Failure to do so, may result in death or serious injury.
lTouch the vehicle or some other metal surface to discharge any static
electricity.
Sparks resulting from discharging static electricity may cause the fuel
vapors to ignite.
lAlways hold the grips on the fuel tank cap and turn it slowly to remove it.
A whooshing sound may be heard when the fuel tank cap is loosened.
Wait until the sound cannot be heard before fully removing the cap.
In hot weather, pressurized fuel may spray out the filler neck and cause
injury.
lDo not allow anyone that has not discharged static electricity from their
bodies to come close to an open fuel tank.
lDo not inhale vaporized fuel.
Fuel contains substances that are harmful if inhaled.
lDo not smoke while refueling the vehicle.
Doing so may cause the fuel to ignite and cause a fire.
lDo not return to the vehicle or touch any person or object that is statically
charged.
This may cause static electricity to build up, resulting in a possible ignition
hazard.
nWhen replacing the fuel tank cap
Do not use anything but a genuine Toyota fuel tank cap designed for your
vehicle. Failure to do so may cause a fire or other incident which may result
in death or serious injury.
