CAUTION
Make sure the cap is installed securely to prevent fuel
spillage in the event of an accident.
Use only a genuine Lexus fuel tank cap for
replacement. It is designed to regulate fuel tank
pressure.
NOTICE
Finish refueling within 30 minutes. If more than 30
minutes passes, the internal valve closes. In this
condition, fuel may spill out if you continue to refuel the
vehicle. About 5 minutes after the valve is closed, a
message “CLOSE FUEL LID” will appear on the display.
To refuel the vehicle again, tighten the fuel tank cap and
close the fuel filler door, and then push the fuel filler
door opener switch again.
In case the opener is not actuated
If the opener is not actuated, contact your Lexus dealer to
service the vehicle. If you must refuel your vehicle, you can
open the fuel filler door manually as instructed below. The
system to lower internal pressure may not be functioning so
you must turn the cap slowly with releasing the pressure. In
addition, fuel may spill out during refueling. Fill the fuel tank
carefully and slowly.
CAUTION
When opening the cap, do not remove it quickly. The
fuel may spray out of the filler opening if the cap is
suddenly removed.
