counterclockwise, then pause slightly before removing it.

opened. When installing the cap, turn the cap clockwise until
you hear a click.

lamp comes on. Make sure the cap is tightened securely.
The indicator lamp goes off after driving several times. If the
indicator lamp does not go off, contact your Lexus dealer as
soon as possible.
