Break-in
period
Drive
gently
and
avoid
high

Your vehicle does not need an elaborate
break-in.
But following a
few
simple tips
for the first 1000 km (600 miles) can add
to the future economy and long life
of
your vehicle:
• Avoid full throttle acceleration when
starting and driving.
• Avoid racing the engine.
• Try to avoid hard stops during the first
300
km
(200 miles).
• Do not drive slowly with the manual
transmission in a high gear.
• Do not drive for a long time at any
single speed, either fast or slow.
• Do not tow a trailer during the first 800
km
(500 miles).

Fuel
Selecting
the
proper
fuel
is
essential
for
satisfactory
engine
performance.
Engine damage caused by use
of
improp-
er fuels is not covered under Toyota's new
vehicle warranty.
FUEL TYPE
Gasoline
engine-Use
only
unleaded
gasoline.
To
help prevent gas station
mix-ups,
your
vehicle has a smaller fuel tank opening.
The special nozzle on pumps with un-
leaded fuel will fit it, but the larger stan-
dard nozzle on pumps with leaded gas will
not.
NOTICE
Do
not
use
leaded
gasoline
on
your
vehicle.
Use
of
leaded
gasoline
will
cause
the
three-way
catalytic
convert-
er
to
lose
its
effectiveness,
the
emis-
sion
control
system
to
function
im-
properly,
and
damage
to
the
engine.
Also,
this
can
increase
maintenance
costs.
Diesel
engine-Use
only
diesel
fuel.
OCTANE/CETANE NUMBER
Gasoline
engine-
Select
Research
Octane
Number
91
or
higher.
Diesel
engine-
Select
cetane
number
50
(cetane
index
45)
or
higher.
Use of fuel with an octane or cetane num-
ber lower than stated will cause persistent
heavy knocking. If severe, this will lead to
engine damage.
If
your
engine
knocks
...
If you detect heavy knocking even when
using the recommended fuel, or
if
you
hear steady knocking while holding a
steady speed on level roads, consult your
Toyota dealer.
However, occasionally, you may notice
light knocking for a short time while accel-
erating or driving up hills. This is normal
and there is no need
for
concern.
