'00CAMRY CNG (L/O9908) Refueling- -Refueling precaution When refueling, you must use a special nozzle that meets ANSI/AGA NGV−1−1994 standards. There are three types of nozzles. Use a P36 type nozzle for this vehicle. If a P36 nozzle is not available at a nearby CNG station, you may use another type of nozzle, but you cannot expect to get a completely full tank with it. For your safety, ask and follow the instructions at the refueling station when refueling. 2. In front of the vehicle, pull up the auxiliary catch lever and lift the hood. Before closing the hood, check to see that you have not forgotten any tools, rags, etc. Then lower the hood and make sure it locks into place. If necessary, press down gently on the front edge to lock it. Before starting to refuel, wipe off mud or dirt that may be deposited around the fuel receptacle. You will hear a chattering noise from the tank when it is being filled, but this is quite normal. If you hear fuel leaking from the fuel receptacle, stop refueling immediately and have your authorized Toyota CNG dealer check the fuel receptacle. For information on CNG stations, refer to the station "Refueling station information" on page iii in the beginning of this manual. CAUTION D In order to safety refuel and avoid serious personal injury, ask the CNG station staff to refuel the vehicle with CNG for you. D Do not start the engine while refueling. As the natural gas is flammable, an explosion or a fire could occur. Also, do not smoke or allow open flames when refueling. D If you smell or hear fuel leaking while refueling, immediately stop refueling. Do not refuel it until after the leak has been repaired. 14 2000 CAMRY CNG (OM33519U)
