Electric Back Door Opener
The Highlander hybrid is equipped with an electric back door opener. In the
event of 12 Volt power loss, the back door cannot be opened from the outside
of the vehicle.
The electric back door can be opened manually using the release as shown in
the illustration.
Electric Fuel Door Opener
The Highlander hybrid is equipped with an electric fuel door opener. In the
event of 12 Volt power loss, the fuel door can only be opened using the
manual release located inside the cargo area.
WARNING:
The Highlander hybrid has a fuel vapor containment system that
results in the tank pressure being higher than that of a conventional
vehicle. If the fuel filler cap is removed after using the manual fuel
door release, the vehicle will not automatically reduce the fuel tank
pressure. Opening the fuel cap in this state will allow pressurized
fuel vapors to escape, and fuel may also be discharged from the
filler inlet. For these reasons, be extremely careful and open the
fuel cap slowly.
