If you leave the fuel filler door open and
start the hybrid system, a
"CLOSE FUEL LID" will appear. Make sure
the fuel filler door is closed.
CAUTION
Make sure the cap is installed 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.
NOTICE
Finish refueling within 30 minutes. If
more than 30 minutes passes, the in-
ternal valve closes. In this condition,
fuel may spill out if you continue to
refuel the vehicle. About 5 seconds
after the valve is closed, a message
"CLOSE FUEL LID" will appear on the
display. To refuel the vehicle again,
tighten the fuel tank cap and close
the fuel filler door, and then push the
fuel filler door opener switch again.
