WARNING
■ Do not place anything on top of the cover
Placing luggage or other cargo on top of the luggage compartment cover is
dangerous. During sudden braking or a collision, the cargo coul d become a
projectile that could hit and injure someone. The vehicle has a light weight
luggage compartment cover to keep the contents of your luggage area out
of sight; it will not retain heavy objects that are not tied down in an accident
such as a rollover. Tie down all heavy objects, whether luggage or cargo,
using the tie down hooks.
■ Make sure luggage and cargo are secured before driving

crushed during sudden braking or a collision and cause injury.
● Make sure the luggage compartment cover is firmly secured. If it is not

2-4. Fuel and Emission
Fuel-Filler Lid and Cap
WARNING
■When removing the fuel-filler cap, loosen the cap slightly and wait for
any hissing to stop, then remove it
Fuel spray is dangerous. Fuel can burn skin and eyes and cause illness if
ingested. Fuel spray is released when there is pressure in the fuel tank and
the fuel-filler cap is removed too quickly.
■ Before refueling, stop the engine, and always keep sparks and f lames
away from the filler neck
Fuel vapor is dangerous. It could be ignited by sparks or flame s causing
serious burns and injuries.
Additionally, use of the incorrect fuel-filler cap or not using a fuel-filler cap
may result in a fuel leak, which could result in serious burns or death in an
accident.
■ Do not continue refueling after the fuel pump nozzle shuts off automat-
ically
Continuing to add fuel after the fuel pump nozzle has shut off automatically
is dangerous because overfilling the fuel tank may cause fuel o verflow or
leakage. Fuel overflow and leakage could damage the vehicle and if the fuel
ignites it could cause a fire and explosion resulting in serious injury or
death.
NOTICE
Always use only a genuine Toyota fuel-filler cap or an approved equivalent,
available at your Toyota dealer. The wrong cap can result in a serious mal-
function of the fuel and emission control systems.
It may also cause the check engine light in the combination met er to illumi-
nate.

neck could be caught by the window and result in serious injury or even
death. This warning applies especially to children.
■ Never allow children to play with power window switches
Power window switches that are not locked with the power window lock
switch would allow children to operate power windows unintentionally,
which could result in serious injury if a child’s hands, head o r neck becomes
caught by the window.
■ Make sure nothing blocks the window just before it reaches the fully
closed position or while holding up the power window switch
Blocking the power window just before it reaches the fully clos ed position or
while holding up the power window switch is dangerous.
In this case, the jam-safe function cannot prevent the window f rom closing
