CAUTION
■
When refueling the vehicle
Observe the following precautions while refueling the vehicle. Failure to do so, may
result in death or serious injury.
●
Touch the vehicle or some other metal surface to discharge any static electricity.
Sparks resulting from discharging static electricity may cause the fuel vapors to
ignite.
●
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, pressur-
ized fuel may spray out the filler neck and cause injury.
●
Do not allow anyone that has not discharged static electricity from their bodies to
come close to an open fuel tank.
●
Do not inhale vaporized fuel.
Fuel contains substances that are harmful if inhaled.
●
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.
If the fuel filler door opener switch is inopera-
ble, contact your Lexus dealer to service the
vehicle. If you must refuel your vehicle, you
can open the fuel filler door manually as
shown. The system to lower internal pressure
may not be functioning so you must turn the
cap slowly as the pressure releases. In addi-
tion, fuel may spill out during refueling. Fill the
fuel tank carefully and slowly.
