car does not start after filling petrol- what am i doing wrong?

[george72]

Hi again

 

Apologies if i have missed something as this car is very new to me having only done about 500 miles- i have put petrol in it twice and every time i have got back into the car after doing this, the car does not start, it says HYBRID SYSTEM NOT READY. Once i switch it all off and start again, hey presto its absolutely fine?

Am i doing something wrong?

or airlock somewhere, or what was the problem identified recently with the LC models?

Leave fuel cap open and try again?

Hi Rakesh

Sounds like a similar error to what I get on my IS if I don't allow the systems to fully bootup before I select drive.

Silly question, but still asking 🙂

Do you by any chance the leave the car in Accessory mode ? This happens when you completely turn off the car, then push the start button once without holding the break.

Maybe you are doing this to keep the radio/music on while you fill up.

I think after the fuel filler cap is closed (obviously after opening it) the car needs a "reboot" i.e. completely turn off and then start again.

I think you are on to something! I will check this out when I fill up next. Many thanks everyone
