INFORMATION
■
Running out of fuel
When the vehicle has run out of fuel and the hybrid system cannot be started, refuel the
vehicle with at least enough gasoline to make the low fuel level warning light go off.
*1
If
there is only a small amount of fuel, the hybrid system may not be able to start.
Opening the fuel tank cap
The fuel tank of your vehicle has a special structure, which requires a reduction in
fuel tank pressure before refueling. After the opener switch has been pressed, it
will take several seconds until the vehicle is ready for refueling.
1 Press the opener to open the fuel filler door.
The fuel filler door will open within about 10 sec-
onds of the switch being pressed. Before refueling
is possible, a message will be shown on the mul-
ti-information display in the instrument cluster to
indicate the progress of the fuel filler door opener.
The fuel filler door will open.
2 Turn the fuel tank cap slowly and remove it,
then put it into the holder on the fuel filler
door.
WARNING
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.
Precautions for refueling
Make sure to select a compatible type of fuel and refuel safely.
*1 : The specified refueling volume to cause the warning light to turn off when the vehicle
is level is approximately 2.6 gal. [10.0 L, 2.2 Imp.gal.]. This value may vary when the
vehicle is on a slope. Add extra fuel when the vehicle is inclined.
