Lexus ES: Precaution
PRECAUTION
CAUTION:
-
Never perform work on fuel system components near any possible ignition sources.
.png)
- Vaporized fuel could ignite, resulting in a serious accident.
-
Do not perform work on fuel system components without first disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) auxiliary battery terminal.
.png)
- Sparks could cause vaporized fuel to ignite, resulting in a serious accident.
-
The fuel tank assembly is very heavy. Be sure to follow the procedure described in the repair manual, or the fuel tank assembly may fall off the engine lifter.

-
To prevent serious injury due to fuel spray from the high-pressure fuel lines, always discharge fuel system pressure before removing any fuel system components.

BEFORE WORKING ON FUEL SYSTEM
(a) Before inspecting and repairing the fuel system, disconnect the cable from the negative (-) auxiliary battery terminal.
NOTICE:
After turning the power switch off, waiting time may be required before disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) auxiliary battery terminal. Therefore, make sure to read the disconnecting the cable from the negative (-) auxiliary battery terminal notices before proceeding with work.

(b) Do not smoke or work near fire when handling the fuel system.
(c) Keep fuel away from rubber or leather parts.
CAUTION:
- Make sure the engine coolant temperature is 60°C (140°F) or less when performing this procedure.
- Do not disconnect any part of the fuel system until you have discharged the fuel system pressure.
- Pressure will still remain in the fuel lines even after performing the following procedure. When disconnecting a fuel line, cover it with a piece of cloth to prevent fuel from spraying or coming out.
