■ Fuel tank opening for unleaded gasoline
To help prevent incorrect fueling, your vehicle has a fuel tank opening that
only accommodates the special nozzle on unleaded fuel pumps.
Opening the fuel tank cap
The fuel tank of your vehicle h as a special structure, which
requires a reduction in fuel tank pressure before refueling. After
the opener switch has been pressed, it will take several second s
until the vehicle is r eady for refueling.
Before refueling the vehicle
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, tou ch an
unpainted metal surface to discharge any static electricity. It is important to
discharge static electricity before refueling because sparks re sulting from
static electricity can cause fuel vapors to ignite while refuel ing.
● 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 loosen ed.
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 p ossible ignition
hazard.

Maintenance and care
NOTICE
■Cleaning detergents
● Do not use the following types of detergent, as they may discol or the vehi-
cle interior or cause streaks or damage to painted surfaces:
• Areas other than the seats and steering wheel: Organic substan ces
such as benzene or gasoline, alkaline or acidic solutions, dye, and
bleach
• Seats: Alkaline or acidic solutions, such as thinner, benzene, and alco-
hol
• Steering wheel: Organic substances, such as thinner, and clean er that
contains alcohol
● Do not use polish wax or polish cleaner. The instrument panel’s or other
interior part’s painted surface may be damaged.
■ Preventing damage to leather surfaces
Observe the following precautions to avoid damage to and deterioration of
leather surfaces:
● Remove any dust or dirt from leather surfaces immediately.
● Do not expose the vehicle to direct sunlight for extended perio ds of time.
Park the vehicle in the shade, especially during summer.
● Do not place items made of vinyl, plastic, or containing wax on the uphol-
stery, as they may stick to the leather surface if the vehicle interior heats
up significantly.
■ Water on the floor
Do not wash the vehicle floor with water.
Vehicle systems such as the audio system may be damaged if wate r comes
into contact with electrical components such as the audio syste m above or
under the floor of the vehicle. Water may also cause the body to rust.
■ When cleaning the inside of the windshield
Do not allow glass cleaner to contact the lens. Also, do not to uch the lens.
( P. 249)
■ Cleaning the inside of the rear window
● Do not use glass cleaner to clean the rear window, as this may cause
damage to the rear window defogger heater wires or antenna. Use a cloth
dampened with lukewarm water to gently wipe the window clean. Wipe the
window in strokes running parallel to the heater wires or antenna.
● Be careful not to scratch or damage the heater wires or antenna .

When trouble arises
■When replacing the 12-volt battery
●Use a Central Degassing type 12-volt battery (European Regulati ons).
● Vehicles without a moon roof: Use a 12-volt battery that the case size is
same as the previous one (LN2), 20 hour rate capacity (20HR) is equivalent
(55Ah) or greater, and performance rating (CCA) is equivalent ( 345A) or
greater.
Vehicles with a moon roof: Use a 12-volt battery that the case size is same
as the previous one (LN2), 20 hour rate capacity (20HR) is equi valent
(60Ah) or greater, and performance rating (CCA) is equivalent ( 563A) or
greater.
• If the sizes differ, the 12-volt battery cannot be properly se cured.
• If the 20 hour rate capacity is low, even if the time period w here the vehi-
cle is not used is a short time, the 12-volt battery may discha rge and the
hybrid system may not be able to start.
● Use a 12-volt battery with a handle. If a 12-volt battery witho ut a handle is
used, removal is more difficult.
For details, consult your Toyota dealer. ● After replacing, firmly attach the follow-
ing items to the exhaust hole of the 12-
volt battery.
• Use the exhaust hose that was
attached to the 12-volt battery before
replacing and confirm that it is firmly
connected to the hole section of the
vehicle.
• Use the exhaust hole plug included with the 12-volt battery replaced or
the one installed on the battery prior
to the replacement. (Depending on
the 12-volt battery to be replaced, the
exhaust hole may be plugged.)

NOTICE
■Notice on fuel quality
● Do not use improper fuels. If improper fuels are used, the engi ne will be
damaged.
● Do not use leaded gasoline.
Leaded gasoline can cause damage to your vehicle’s three-way ca talytic
converters causing the emission control system to malfunction.
● Do not use gasohol other than the type previously stated.
Other gasohol may cause fuel system damage or vehicle performan ce
problems.
● Using unleaded gasoline with an octane number or rating lower than the
level previously stated will cause persistent heavy knocking.
At worst, this will lead to engine damage.
■ Fuel-related poor driveability
If poor driveability (poor hot starting, vaporization, engine k nocking, etc.) is
encountered after using a different type of fuel, discontinue the use of that
type of fuel.
■ When refueling with gasohol
Take care not to spill gasohol. It can damage your vehicle’s paint.
