HILUX_OM_OM0K513E_(EE)
WARNING
QWhen refueling the vehicle
Observe the following precautions while refueling the vehicle. Failure to do
so may result in death or serious injury.
O After exiting the vehicle and before opening the fuel cap, touch an
unpainted metal surface to discharge any stat ic electricity. It is important to
discharge static electricity before re fueling because sparks resulting from
static electricity can cause fuel vapors to ignite while refueling.
O Type A (P. 263) only: 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.
O Do not allow anyone that has not discharged static electricity from their
body to come close to an open fuel tank.
O Do not inhale vaporized fuel.
Fuel contains substances that are harmful if inhaled.
O Do not smoke while refueling the vehicle.
Doing so may cause the fuel to ignite and cause a fire.
O 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.
Q When refueling
Observe the following precautions to pr event fuel overflowing from the fuel
tank:
O Securely insert the fuel nozzle into the fuel filler neck.
O Stop filling the tank after the fuel nozzle automatically clicks off.
O Do not top off the fuel tank.
