Break−in period
Drive gently and avoid high speeds.
Your vehicle does not need an elaborate
break−in. But following a few simple tips
for the first 1600 km (1000 miles) can add
to the future economy and long life of
your vehicle:
Do not drive over 88 km/h (55 mph).
Run the engine at moderate speed be-
tween 2000 and 4000 rpm.
Avoid full−throttle starts.
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
Fuel used for your vehicle is compressed
natural gas (CNG). The main ingredient of
the natural gas is flammable, colorless
methane, which generates lower emissions
compared with a gasoline−engine vehicle.
The natural gas you use for refueling
must meet NFPA−52 and SAE−J1616 stan-
dards.
If you smell natural gas or hear the sound
of leaking fuel while refueling, stop refuel-
ing immediately. If you smell or hear fuel
leaking other than when refueling, shut off
the fuel system. (See “If you suspect the
fuel is leaking” in Section 4.)
CAUTION
Natural gas is flammable and explo-
sive. Take due care to keep away
from fire and sparks at all times.
If you suspect the fuel is leaking
while refueling, stop refueling im-
mediately. If leaking fuel is ignited,
an explosion or fire could occur,
causing death or serious injury.
If you smell or hear natural gas
leaking, shut off the fuel system
immediately. If leaking fuel is ig-
nited, an explosion or fire could oc-
cur, causing death or serious injury.
NOTICE
Do not use improper fuel that does
not meet the required standards.
Using improper fuel may affect the
engine performance or cause dam-
age to the emission control system.
If you suspect any abnormality in
the fuel system, have your vehicle
inspected by your authorized Toyota
CNG dealer as soon as possible.
