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.

If the check fuel cap warning light illuminates, the fuel-filler cap may not be

cap has been correctly installed, the fuel cap warning light ma y continue to
illuminate  until  a  number  of  driving  cycles  have  been  completed.  A  drive
cycle  consists  of  starting  the  engine  (after  four  or  more  hours   with  the
engine off) and driving the vehicle on city and highway roads.
Continuing  to  drive  with  the  check  fuel  cap  warning  light  illum inated  could
cause the check engine light to illuminate as well.

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
