When driving
nDriving in the rain
lDrive carefully when it is raining, because visibility will be reduced, the
windows may become fogged−up, and the road will be slippery.
lDrive carefully when it starts to rain, because the road surface will be
especially slippery.
lRefrain from high speeds when driving on an expressway in the rain,
because there may be a layer of water between the tires and the road
surface, preventing the steering and brakes from operating properly.
nBreaking in your new Toyota
To extend the life of the vehicle, the following precautions are recommended
to observe:
lFor the first 200 miles (300 km):
Avoid sudden stops.
lFor the first 500 miles (800 km):
Do not tow a trailer.
lFor the first 1000 miles (1600 km):
Do not drive at extremely high speeds.
Avoid sudden acceleration.
Do not drive continuously in the low gears.
Do not drive at a constant speed for extended periods.
nDrumindisc type parking brake system
Your vehicle has a drum−in−disc type parking brake system.
This type of brake system needs bedding−down of the brake shoes periodi−
cally or whenever the parking brake shoes and/or drums are replaced.
Have your Toyota dealer perform the bedding−down.
nOperating your vehicle in a foreign country
Comply with the relevant vehicle registration laws and confirm the availability
of the correct fuel. ( P. 496)

Vehicle specifications
nGasoline quality standards
lAutomotive 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.
lThe WWFC consists of four categories that are based on required emis−
sion levels. In the US, category 4 has been adopted.
lThe WWFC improves air quality by lowering emissions in vehicle fleets,
and customer satisfaction through better performance.
nToyota recommends the use of gasoline containing detergent additives
lToyota recommends the use of gasoline that contains detergent additives
to avoid build−up of engine deposits.
lAll gasoline sold in the US contains detergent additives to clean and/or
keep clean intake systems.
nToyota recommends the use of cleaner burning gasoline
Cleaner burning gasoline, including reformulated gasoline that contains oxy−
genates 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.
nToyota does not recommend blended gasoline
lToyota allows the use of oxygenate blended gasoline where the oxygen−
ate content is up to 10% ethanol or 15% MTBE.
lIf you use gasohol in your Toyota, be sure that it has an octane rating no
lower than 87.
lToyota DOES NOT recommend the use of gasoline containing methanol.

506 6−1. Specifications
nToyota does not recommend gasoline containing MMT
Some gasoline contains octane enhancing additive called MMT (Methylcy
clopentadienyl 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
nNotice on gasoline quality
lDo not use leaded gasoline.
Leaded gasoline can cause damage to your vehicle’s three−way catalytic
converters causing the emission control system to malfunction.
lDo not use gasohol other than that stated here.
Other gasohol may cause fuel system damage or vehicle performance
problems.
lUsing unleaded gasoline with an octane number or rating lower than that
stated here will cause persistent heavy knocking.
At worst, this will lead to engine damage.
nFuelrelated 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.
n
When refueling with gasohole
Take care not to spill gasohol. It can damage your vehicle’s paint.
