241

WARNING

■ When refueling the vehicle

Observe the following precautions while refueling the vehicle. Failure to do

so may result in death or serious injury.

● After exiting the vehicle and before opening the fuel door, touch an

unpainted metal surface to discharge any static electricity. It is important to

discharge static electricity before refueling because sparks resulting from

static electricity can cause fuel vapors to ignite while refueling.

● Always hold the grips on the fuel tank cap and turn it slowly to remove it.

A whooshing sound may be heard when the fuel tank cap is loosened.

Wait until the sound cannot be heard before fully removing the cap. In hot

weather, pressurized fuel may spray out the filler neck and cause injury.

● Do not allow anyone that has not discharged static electricity from their

body to come close to an open fuel tank.

● Do not inhale vaporized fuel.

Fuel contains substances that are harmful if inhaled.

4

● Do not smoke while refueling the vehicle.

Doing so may cause the fuel to ignite and cause a fire.

● Do not return to the vehicle or touch any person or object that is statically

charged.

This may cause static electricity to build up, resulting in a possible ignition

hazard.

■ When refueling

Observe the following precautions to prevent fuel overflowing from the fuel

tank:

● Securely insert the fuel nozzle into the fuel filler neck.

● Stop filling the tank after the fuel nozzle automatically clicks off.

● Do not top off the fuel tank.

NOTICE

■Refueling

Do not spill fuel during refueling.

Doing so may damage the vehicle, such as causing the emission control

system to operate abnormally or damaging fuel system components or the

vehicle’s painted surface.

242

4-4. Refueling

WARNING

■ Toyota Safety Sense P

The Toyota Safety Sense P is designed to operate under the assumption

that the driver will drive safely, and is designed to help reduce the impact to

the occupants and the vehicle in the case of a collision or assist the driver in

normal driving conditions.

As there is a limit to the degree of recognition accuracy and control perfor-

mance that this system can provide, do not overly rely on this system. The

driver is always responsible for paying attention to the vehicle's surround-

ings and driving safely.
