If refueling cannot be performed
If the fuel filler door cannot be opened
If the fuel filler door opener switch cannot be operated, contact your Lexus
dealer to service the vehicle. In case where refueling is urgently necessary, the
following procedure can be used to open the fuel filler door.
1 Remove the cover inside the luggage com-
partment by inserting a screwdriver.
When removing the cover, to prevent damage,
cover the tip of the screwdriver with a rag.
2 Pull the lever.
Using the lever to open the fuel filler door may
not allow for an adequate reduction in fuel tank
pressure before refueling. To prevent fuel from
spilling out, turn the cap slowly when removing
it.
During refueling, fuel may spill out from the
filler opening due to air being discharged from
inside the fuel tank. Therefore, fill the fuel tank carefully and slowly.
