■ If the shift lever cannot be shift from P
First, check whether the brake pedal is being depressed. 
If the shift lever cannot be shifted with your foot on the brak e pedal, there may
be  a  problem  with  the  shift  lock  system.  Have  the  vehicle  inspected  by  your
Toyota dealer immediately.

Set the parking brake.
Vehicles without a smart key sys tem: Turn the engine switch to the
“LOCK” position.
Vehicles with a smart key syst em: Turn the engine switch off.

2334-4. Refueling

Driving
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 cau se 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.
■ 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 click s off.
● Do not top off the fuel tank.
NOTICE
■Refueling
Do not spill fuel during refueling. 
Doing  so  may  damage  the  vehicle,  such  as  causing  the  emission  c ontrol
system to operate abnormally, or damaging fuel system components or the
vehicle’s painted surface.
