Fuel infor mation
 Fuel tank opening for unleaded gasoline
To help prevent incorrect fueling, your Toyota has a fuel tank opening that
only accommodates the special nozzle on unleaded fuel pumps.
 If premium gasoline is not available
If 91 rating gasoline cannot be obtained, you may use unleaded gasoline
with an octane rating as low as 87 (Research Octane Number 91).
 If your engine knocks
 Consult your Toyota dealer.
You may occasionally notice light knocking for a short time while
accelerating or driving uphill. This is normal and there is no need for
concern.
 Gasoline quality
In very few cases, driveability problems may be caused by the brand of
gasoline you are using. If driveability problems persist, try changing the
brand of gasoline. If this does not correct the problem, consult your Toyota
dealer.
 Gasoline quality standards
 Automotive manufacturers in the US, Europe and Japan have developed
a specification for fuel quality called World−Wide Fuel Charter (WWFC)
that is expected to be applied worldwide.
 The WWFC consists of four categories that are based on required
emission levels. In the US, category 4 has been adopted.
The WWFC improves air quality by lowering emissions in vehicle fleets,
and customer satisfaction through better performance. Your vehicle must use only unleaded gasoline.
Premium unleaded gasoline with an
octane rating of 91 (Research
Octane Number 96) or higher required for optimum engine
performance.
At minimum, the gasoline you us e should meet th e specifications
of ASTM D4814 in the U.S.A. and CGSB3.5−M93 in Canada.

Vehicle specifications
 Toyota recommends the use of gasoline containing detergent additives
 Toyota recommends the use of gasoline that contains detergent additives
to avoid build−up of engine deposits.
All gasoline sold in the US contains detergent additives to clean and/or
keep clean intake systems.
 Toyota recommends the use of cleaner burning gasoline
Cleaner burning gasoline, including reformulated gasoline that contains
oxygenates such as ethanol or MTBE (Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether) is
available in many areas.
Toyota recommends the use of cleaner burning gasoline and appropriately
blended reformulated gasoline. These types of gasoline provide excellent
vehicle performance, reduce vehicle emissions and improve air quality.
 Toyota does not recommend blended gasoline
 Toyota allows the use of oxygenate blended gasoline where the
oxygenate content is up to 10% ethanol or 15% MTBE.
If you use gasohol in your Toyota, be sure that it has an octane rating no
lower than 91.
 Toyota does not recommend the use of gasoline containing methanol.
Toyota does not recommend gasoline containing MMT
Some gasoline contains octane enhancing additive called MMT
(Methylcyclopentadienyl Manganese Tricarbonyl).
Toyota does not recommend the use of gasoline that contains MMT. If fuel
containing MMT is used, your emission control system may be adversely
affected.
The malfunction indicator lamp on the instrument cluster may come on. If
this happens, contact your Toyota dealer for service.

NOTICE
 Notice on gasoline quality
 Do not use leaded gasoline.
Leaded gasoline can cause damage to your vehicle’s three−way catalytic
converters causing the emission control system to malfunction.
 Do not use gasohol other than that stated here.
Other gasohol may cause fuel system damage or vehicle performance
problems.
 Use of unleaded gasoline with an octane rating lower than 91 may result in
engine knocking. Persistent knocking can lead to engine damage and
should be corrected by refueling with higher octane unleaded gasoline.
 Fuelrelated poor driveability
If after using a different type of fuel, poor driveability is encountered (poor
hot starting, vaporization, engine knocking, etc.), discontinue the use of that
type of fuel.
 When refueling with gasohol
Take care not to spill gasohol.
It can damage your vehicle’s paint.
