If refueling cannot be performed
If the fuel filler door cannot be opened
If the fuel filler door opener switch cannot be operated, contact any authorized
Lexus retailer or Lexus authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer to service
the vehicle. In case where refueling is urgently necessary, the following proce-
dure can be used to open the fuel filler door.
1 Remove the cover inside the luggage
compartment 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.
