2604-4. Refueling
HIGHLANDER_HV_U (OM48D74U)
WARNING
■When refueling the vehicle
Observe the following precautions while refueling the vehicle. Failure to do
so may result in death or serious injury.
● After exiting the vehicle and before opening the fuel door, touch an
unpainted metal surface to discharge any static electricity. It is important to
discharge static electricity before refueling because sparks resulting from
static electricity can cause fuel vapors to ignite while refueling.
● Always 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.
● Do not allow anyone that has not discharged static electricity from their
body to come close to an open fuel tank.
● Do not inhale vaporized fuel.
Fuel contains substances that are harmful if inhaled.
● Do not smoke while refueling the vehicle.
Doing so may cause the fuel to ignite and cause a fire.
● Do 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.
■ When refueling
Observe the following precautions to prevent fuel overflowing from the fuel
tank:
● Securely insert the fuel nozzle into the fuel filler neck.
● Stop filling the tank after the fuel nozzle automatically clicks off.
● Do not top off the fuel tank.
NOTICE
■Refueling
● Finish refueling within 30 minutes. If more than 30 minutes passes, the
internal 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 multi-information display. To refuel the
vehicle again, tighten the fuel tank cap and close the fuel filler door, and
then press the opener switch again.
● Do not spill fuel during refueling.
Doing so may damage the vehicle, such as causing the emission control
system to operate abnormally or damaging fuel system components or the
vehicle’s painted surface.

Message illustrations used in this section are intended as examples, and may
differ from the image that is actually displayed on the multi-information dis-
play.
■ If the fuel filler door does not op en and a “Please Wait Now Opening”
message appears on the multi-information display
Fuel tank pressure is being reduced. The fuel filler door will open within about
10 seconds of the switch being pressed.
■ When the fuel filler door cannot be opened by pressing the inside switch
If the fuel filler door opener switch cannot be operated, contact your Toyota
dealer. In the event that urgent refueling is required, follow the procedure
below.
Remove the cap slowly. Take care to prevent fuel from spilling out, as fuel
tank pressure may not have been adequately reduced.
Fill the fuel tank carefully and slowly. Use caution, as air being discharged
from inside the fuel tank may cause fuel to spray out from the filler opening
during refueling. Open the fuel filler door using the lever
in the luggage compartment.
