GASOLINES CONTAINING MMT 
Some gasolines contain an octane- en- 
hancing additive called MMT (methylcy- 
clopentadienyl manganese tricarbonyl). 
Toyota does not recommend the use of 
gasolines that contain MMT. If fuels con- 
taining MMT are used, your emission con-
trol system may be adversely affected. 
The Malfunction Indicator Lamp on the in- 
strument cluster may come on. If this hap-
pens, contact your Toyota dealer for ser- 
vice. 
GASOLINES CONTAINING ALCOHOL 
If 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.
GASOLINES QUALITY 
In a very few cases, you may experience 
driveability problems  caused by  the partic- 
ular gasoline that you are using. If you 
continue to have unacceptable driveability,
try  changing gasoline brands. If that does 
not rectify your problem, then consult your 
Toyota dealer.
NOTICE
 Do not use gasohol other than
stated above. It will cause fuel sys-tem damage or vehicle performanceproblems.
 If drive ability problems are occur (poor hot starting, vaporizing, en-gine knock, etc.), discontinue the
use.
 Take care not to spill gasohol dur-ing refueling. Gasohol may causepaint damage.
