■Total load capacity and seating 
capacity
These details are also described on 
the tire and loading information 
label. ( P.547)
WARNING
■Overloading the vehicle
Do not overload the vehicle.
It may not only cause damage to 
the tires, but also degrade steer-
ing and braking ability, resulting in 
an accident.
Trailer towing
Your vehicle is designed pri-
marily as a passenger-and-
load-carrying vehicle. Tow-
ing a trailer can have an 
adverse impact on handling, 
performance, braking, dura-
bility, and fuel consumption. 
For your safety and the 
safety of others, you must 
not overload your vehicle or 
trailer. You must also 
ensure that you are using 
appropriate towing equip-
ment, that the towing equip-
ment has been installed 
correctly and used prop-
erly, and that you employ 
the requisite driving habits.
Vehicle-trailer stability and 
braking performance are 
affected by trailer stability, 
brake performance and set-
ting, trailer brakes, the hitch 
and hitch systems.
To tow a trailer safely, use 
extreme care and drive the 
vehicle in accordance with 
your trailer’s characteris-
tics and operating condi-
tions.
Toyota warranties do not 
apply to damage or mal-
function caused by towing a 
trailer for commercial pur-
poses.

4-4.Refueling
Turn the power switch off and 
ensure that all the doors and 
windows are closed.
 Confirm the type of fuel.
■Fuel types
 P. 5 4 2
■Fuel tank opening for unleaded 
gasoline
To help prevent incorrect fueling, 
your vehicle has a fuel tank opening 
that only accommodates the spe-
cial nozzle on unle aded fuel pumps.
Opening the fuel tank 
cap
The fuel tank of your vehicle 
has a special structure, 
which requires a reduction 
in fuel tank pressure before 
refueling. After the opener 
switch has been pressed, it 
will take several seconds 
until the vehicle is ready for 
refueling.
Before refueling the vehi-
cle
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 sur-
face to discharge any static 
electricity. It is important to dis-
charge static electricity before 
refueling because sparks result-
ing 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 f uel tank cap is 
loosened. Wait until the sound 
cannot be heard before fully 
removing the cap. In hot 
weather, pressurized fuel may 
spray out of 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 igni-
tion 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.

1 Press the opener switch.
2 Turn the fuel tank cap slowly 
to open it and put it into the 
holder on the fuel filler door.
After refueling, turn the fuel tank 
cap until you hear a click. Once 
the cap is released, it will turn 
slightly in the opposite direction.
WARNING
●Do not top off the fuel tank.
NOTICE
■Refueling
●Finish refueling within 30 min-
utes. If more than 30 minutes 
passes, the internal valve 
closes. In this condition, fuel 
may overflow during the refuel-
ing process. Press the fuel filler 
door opener switch again.
●Make sure that the fuel filler 
door lock is not pushed by the 
fuel nozzle boot,  etc. If the lock 
is held, the internal valve closes 
and fuel may overflow. To pre-
vent it, press the fuel filler door 
opener switch again.
●Do not spill fuel during refueling. 
Doing so may damage the vehi-
cle, such as causing the emis-
sion control system to operate 
abnormally or damaging fuel 
system components or the vehi-
cle’s painted surface.

■When “Check Fuel Cap” is dis-
played on the multi-information 
display
The fuel tank cap may be unfas-
tened or loose. Turn the power 
switch to OFF, check the cap and 
tighten it securely. If the message 
remains, wait a few seconds and 
then turn the power switch to OFF 
once again.
WARNING
■When replacing the fuel tank 
cap
Do not use anything but a genu-
ine Toyota fuel tank cap designed 
for your vehicle. Doing so may 
cause a fire or other incident 
which may result in death or seri-
ous injury.
■When Opening the fuel tank 
cap
Depending on the driving condi-
tions of the vehicle before refuel-
ing, it may take some time to 
reduce the pressu re in the tank. 
Unless there is an actual emer-
gency, do not use the emergency 
release lever to open the fuel door 
and then open the fuel tank cap. 
Doing so may cause fuel to spray 
out from the fuel filler opening.
