CAUTION
Do not smoke, cause sparks or al-
D
low open flames when refueling.
The fumes are flammable.
When opening the cap, do not re-
D
move the cap quickly. In hot weath-
er, fuel under pressure could cause
injury by spraying out of the filler
neck if the cap is suddenly re-
moved.
Do not fill a fuel container with fuel
D
on a plastic truck bed liner, a rub-
ber truck bed mat, or any other in-
sulating material. A static electricity
charge could cause a spark and fire
hazard. The proper procedure is to
place an approved fuel container on
the ground away from the truck for
filling.

2. To remove the fuel tank cap, turn
the cap slowly counterclockwise,
then pause slightly before removing
it. After removing the cap, hang it
on the cap hanger.
It is not unusual to hear a slight swoosh
when the cap is opened. When installing,
turn the cap clockwise until you hear a
click.
CAUTION
Make sure the cap is tightened se-
D
curely to prevent fuel spillage in
the event of an accident.
Use only a genuine Toyota fuel tank
D
cap for replacement. It is designed
to regulate fuel tank pressure.
