108If your engine knocks... 
If you detect heavy knocking even when 
using the recommended fuel, or if you
hear steady knocking while holding a 
steady sp
eed on level roads, consult your
Toyota dealer. 
However, now and then, you may notice 
light  knocking for a short time while accel-
erating or driving up hills. This is no cause 
for concern. 
GASOLINES CONTAINING DETER- 
GENT ADDITIVES 
Toyota recommends use of gasolines 
that contain detergent additives to
avoid build-up of engine deposits. 
For further details, ask your Toyota dealer 
or a local gasoline retailer.. 
GASOLINES CONTAINING MTBE 
Gasolines that contain MTBE (Methyl 
Tertiary-Butyl  Ether) are available in 
the market. If you use a gasoline mixed 
with MTBE, make certain that it does
not contain more than 15% of MTBE. 
If the use of gasolines containing MTBE causes poor driveability and/or poor fuel 
economy, you should discontinue the use
of fuels containing MTBE. GASOLINES CONTAINING ALCOHOL I
f you use gasohol in your Toyota, be
sure that it is unleaded, has an octane 
rating no lower than 87 and does not
contain more than 10% ethanol. 
Gasohol is a  mixture of gasoline and etha-
nol. 
Toyota does not recommend the use of 
gasolines containing methanol. If you use 
gasoline containing methanol, use only 
gasoline meeting  the requirements above
and also containing less than 5% metha- 
nol with cosolvents and corrosion inhibi- 
tors for methanol.

stated above. It will cause fuel
system damage or vehicle perfor-
mance problems.
 If  driveability problems are en-countered (poor hot starting, va-porizing,  engine knock, etc.),discontinue  the use.

ing refueling. Gasohol may causepaint damage.
