5-2. Steps to take in an emergency
CAUTION
As an added safety feature, your v
ehicle has been equipped with a tire
pressure monitoring system (TPMS-tire pressure warning system) that
illuminates a low tire pressure telltale (tire pressure warning light) when
one or more of your tires is significantly under-inflated. Accordingly,
when the low tire pressure telltale (tire pre ssure warning light) illumi-
nates, you should stop and check your tires as soon as possible, and
inflate them to the proper pressure. Driving on a significantly under-
inflated tire causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure.
Under-inflation also reduces fuel effi ciency and tire tread life, and may
affect the vehicle’s handling and stopping ability.
Please note that the TPMS (tire pressure warning system) is not a sub-
stitute for proper tire main tenance, and it is the driver’s responsibility to
maintain correct tire pressure, even if under-inflation has not reached the
level to trigger illu mination of the TPMS low ti re pressure telltale (tire
pressure warning light).
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS (tire pressure warning
system) malfunction indicator to indi cate when the system is not operat-
ing properly. The TPMS (tire pressure warning system) malfunction indi-
cator is combined with the low tire pressure telltale (tire pressure
warning light). When the system det ects a malfunction, the telltale will
flash for approximately one minute an d then remain continuously illumi-
nated. This sequence will continue upon subsequent vehicle start-ups as
long as the malfunction exists. When the malfunction indi cator is illumi-
nated, the system may not be able to detect or signal low tire pressure
as intended.
TPMS (tire pressure warning system) malfunctions may occur for a vari-
ety of reasons, including the installati on of replacement or alternate tires
or wheels on the vehicle that prevent the TPMS (tire pressure warning
system) from functioning properly. Always check the TPMS (tire pres-
sure warning system) malfunction tellt ale after replacing one or more
tires or wheels on your vehicle to ensure that the replacement or alter-
nate tires and wheels allow the TPMS (tire pressure warning system) to
continue to function properly.

5-2. Steps to take in an emergency
Loosen the center fastener that
secures the spare tire.
n Comp
act spare tire
The compact spare tire saves space in your luggage compartment,
and
its lighter weight helps to enhance fuel economy and permits
easier installation in case of a flat tire.
The compact spare tire is
d
esigned for temporary emer -
gency use only.
The compact spare tire is identi -
fied by the distinctive wording
“TE

MPORARY USE ONLY”
molded into the sidewall of the
tire.
nWhen using the compact spare tire
As the compact spare tire is not equipped with the tire pressure warning
valve and trans
mitter, low inflation pr essure of the compact spare tire will
not be warned. Also, if you replace the compact spare tire after the tire
pressure warning light comes on, the light remains on.
nCheck the tire inflation pressure of the compact spare tire.

5-2. Steps to take in an emergency
If the engine will not start
If the engine still does not start after following the correct starting
procedure ( →
P. 125) or releasing the steering lock ( →P. 126), confirm
the following points.
n The engine will not start even when the starter motor oper -
ates normally.
One of the following may be the cause of the problem.
l There
may not be sufficient fuel in the vehicle’s tank.
Refuel the vehicle.
l The eng
ine may be flooded.
Try to restart the engine once more following correct starting
pro

cedures. ( →P. 125 )
l V
ehicles with engine immobilizer system: There may be a
malfunction in the engine immobilizer system.
( → P. 7 4 )
n The
starter motor turns over slowly, the interior lights and
headlights are dim, or the horn does not sound or sounds at
a low volume.
One of the following may be the cause of the problem.
lThe battery
may be discharged. (→ P. 333)
l The
battery terminal connec tions may be loose or corroded.

*: 5W-30 is an oil that provides
optimal levels of fuel efficiency.
Oil viscosity
l The
5W portion of the oil viscosity rating indicates the characteristic
of the oil which allows cold startability. Oils with a lower value before
the W allow for easier starting of the engine in cold weather.
l The 30 in 5W
-30 indicates the oil viscosity when the oil is at its oper -
ating temperature. An oil with a higher viscosity may be better suited
if
the vehicle is operated at high speeds, or under extreme load con -
dition.

Fuel information
nFuel tank opening fo r unleaded gasoline
To help prevent incorrect fueling, your Toyota has a fuel tank opening that
only accommodate
s the special nozzle on unleaded fuel pumps.
n If your engine knocks
l Consult your T
oyota dealer.
l Y
ou may occasionally notice light knocking for a short time while acceler -
ating or driving uphill. This is normal and there is no need for concern.
n Gasoline quality
In very few cases, driveability problems may be caused by the brand of gas -
oline you are using. If driveability problems persist, try changing the brand of
gasoline. If this does not correct the problem, c
onsult your Toyota dealer.
n Gasoline quality st
andards
l Automotive manufacture
rs 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.
l The
WWFC consists of four categories that are based on required emis -
sion levels. In the US, category 4 has been adopted.
l The WWFC improves air quality by
lowering emissions in vehicle fleets,
and customer satisfaction through better performance.
Your vehicle must use only unleaded gasoline.
Select octane rating 87 (Research Octane Number 91) or higher. Use
of unleaded gasoline with an octane rating lower than 87 may result
in engine knocking. Persistent kno cking can lead to engine damage.
At minimum, the gasoline you use should meet the specifications
of ASTM D4814 in the U.S.A. and CGSB3.5-M93 in Canada.

354 6-1. Specifications
nToyota recommends the use of gaso line containing detergent additives
l Toyota recommends the use of gasoline that contains detergent additives
to avoid build-up of engine deposits.
l All gasoline sold in the US contains detergent additives to clean and/or
keep clean intake systems.
n Toyota 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.
n Toyota does not recomm end blended gasoline
l Toyota allows the use of oxygenate blended gasoline where the oxygen-
ate content is up to 10 % ethanol or 15 % MTBE.
l If you use gasohol in your Toyota, be sure that it has an octane rating no
lower than 87.
l Toyota does not recommend the use of gasoline containing methanol.
n Toyota does not recommen d 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.
