3. Hold the hood open by inserting the
support rod into the slot.
To insert the support rod into the slot,
move it as shown in the illustration. If it
is moved to the side or toward the outside
of the vehicle, it may become detached.
Before closing the hood, check to see that
you have not forgotten any tools, rags,
etc. and return the support rod to its
clip—this prevents rattles. Then lower the
hood and make sure it locks into place.
If necessary, press down gently on the
front edge to lock it.
CAUTION
After inserting the support rod into
the slot, make sure the rod supports
the hood securely from falling down
on to your head or body.
NOTICE
Be sure to return the support rod to
its clip before closing the hood.
Otherwise, it may cause a damage to
the support rod or hood.

3. Turn the cap slowly counterclock-
wise, then pause slightly before re-
moving it. After removing the cap,
hang it on the cap hanger.
It is not unusual to hear a slight swoosh
when the cap is opened. When installing,
turn the cap clockwise till you hear a
click. (No key is required.)
CAUTION
DMake sure the cap is installed se-
curely to prevent fuel spillage in
the event of an accident.
DDue to the regulation of fuel tank
pressure that these caps provide,
Toyota recommends the use of a
genuine Toyota fuel tank cap.
Another fuel tank cap of matching
quality can also be used.
DWhen opening the cap, do not re-
move the cap quickly. In hot weath-
er, fuel under pressure could cause
injury by spraying out of the filler
neck if the cap is suddenly re-
moved.

INFORMATION BEFORE DRIVING YOUR TOYOTA195
FUEL TYPE
EU area:
Your vehicle must use only unleaded
gasoline conforming to European stan-
dard EN228.
For optimum engine performance, select
unleaded gasoline with a Research Oc-
tane Number of 95 or higher.
Except EU area:
Your vehicle must use only unleaded
gasoline.
For optimum engine performance, select
unleaded gasoline with a Research Oc-
tane Number of 95 or higher.
To help prevent gas station mix−ups, your
vehicle has a smaller fuel tank opening.
The special nozzle on pumps with un-
leaded fuel will fit it, but the larger stan-
dard nozzle on pumps with leaded gas will
not.OCTANE/CETANE NUMBER
Select Research Octane Number 95 or
higher.
Use of fuel with an octane or cetane num-
ber lower than stated will cause persistent
heavy knocking. If severe, this will lead to
engine damage.
USE OF ETHANOL BLENDED GASOLINE
IN A GASOLINE ENGINE
Toyota allows the use of ethanol blended
gasoline where the ethanol content is up
to 10%. Make sure that the ethanol
blended gasoline to be used has a Re-
search Octane Number that follows the
above.
If your engine knocks...
If you detect heavy knocking even when
using the recommended fuel, or if you
hear steady knocking while holding a
steady speed on level roads, consult any
authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or
another duly qualified and equipped pro-
fessional.
However, occasionally, you may notice
light knocking for a short time while accel-
erating or driving up hills. This is normal
and there is no need for concern.

260DO−IT−YOURSELF MAINTENANCE: Introduction
If you perform maintenance by yourself,
be sure to follow the correct procedure
given in this Section.
You should be aware that improper or in-
complete servicing may result in operating
problems.
This Section gives instructions only for
those items that are relatively easy for an
owner to perform. As explained in Section
6, there are still a number of items that
must be done by a qualified technician
with special tools.
Utmost care should be taken when work-
ing on your vehicle to prevent accidental
injury. Here are a few precautions that
you should be especially careful to ob-
serve:
CAUTION
DWhen the engine is running, keep
hands, clothing, and tools away
from the moving fan and engine
drive belts. (Removing rings,
watches, and ties is advisable.)
DRight after driving, the engine
compartment—the engine, radiator,
exhaust manifold, and spark plug
boots, etc. —will be hot. So be
careful not to touch them. Oil,
fluids and spark plugs may also be
hot.
DIf the engine is hot, do not remove
the radiator cap or coolant reser-
voir cap or loosen the drain plugs,
to prevent burning yourself.
DDo not leave anything that may
burn easily, such as paper or rags,
in the engine compartment.
DDo not smoke, cause sparks or al-
low open flames around fuel or the
battery. Their fumes are flammable.
DBe extremely cautious when work-
ing on the battery. It contains poi-
sonous and corrosive sulfuric acid.
DDo not get under your vehicle with
just the body jack supporting it. Al-
ways use automotive jack stands or
other solid supports.
DBe sure that the engine is off if you
work near the electric cooling fan
or radiator grille. With the engine
on, the electric cooling fan will au-
tomatically start to run if the en-
gine coolant temperature is high
and/or the air conditioning is on.
DUse eye protection whenever you
work on or under your vehicle
where you may be exposed to flying
or falling material, fluid spray, etc.
DUsed engine oil contains potentially
harmful contaminants which may
cause skin disorders such as in-
flammation or skin cancer, so care
should be taken to avoid prolonged
and repeated contact with it. To re-
move used engine oil from your
skin, wash thoroughly with soap
and water.
DDo not leave used oil within the
reach of children.
DDispose of used oil and filter only
in a safe and acceptable manner.
Do not dispose of used oil and fil-
ter in household trash, in sewers or
onto the ground. Call your dealer or
a service station for information
concerning recycling or disposal.
DTake care when filling the brake
fluid reservoir because brake fluid
can harm your hands or eyes. If
fluid gets on your hands or in your
eyes, flush the affected area with
clean water immediately. If you still
feel uncomfortable with your hands
or eyes, go to the doctor.

How to read oil container labels
Either or both API registered marks are
added to some oil containers to help you
select the oil you should use.
SOIL24
API Service Symbol
Top portion: The oil quality designation by
API (American Petroleum Institute) (SM)
Center portion: The SAE viscosity grade
(SAE 0W−20)
Lower portion: “Energy−Conserving” means
that the oil has fuel−saving capabilities.
ILSAC Certification Mark
The ILSAC (International Lubricant Stan-
dardization and Approval Committee) Certi-
fication Mark is displayed on the front of
the container.

To ensure excellent lubrication perfor-
mance for your engine, Toyota recom-
mends the use of “Toyota Genuine Motor
Oil”, which has been specifically tested
and approved for all Toyota engines.
Please contact any authorized Toyota
dealer or repairer for further details about
“Toyota Genuine Motor Oil”. Other Motor
oils of matching quality can also be used.

in.), take your vehicle to any authorized
Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly
qualified professional to adjust the clutch
pedal free play.Keep your tire inflation pressures at the
proper level.
The recommended cold tire inflation pres-
sures and tire sizes are given on page
299 in Section 8.
You should check the tire inflation pres-
sure every two weeks, or at least once a
month. And do not forget the spare!
Incorrect tire inflation pressure may waste
fuel, reduce the comfort of driving, reduce
tire life and make your vehicle less safe
to drive.
If a tire frequently needs refilling, have it
checked by any authorized Toyota dealer
or repairer, or another duly qualified and
equipped professional.
The following instructions for checking
tire inflation pressure should be ob-
served:
DThe pressure should be checked only
when the tires are cold.If your ve-
hicle has been parked for at least 3
hours and has not been driven for
more than1.5 km or1mile since, you
will get an accurate cold tire inflation
pressure reading.
DAlways use a tire pressure gauge.
The appearance of a tire can be mis-
leading. Besides, tire inflation pres-
sures that are even just a few pounds
off can degrade ride and handling.
DDo not bleed or reduce tire inflation
pressure after driving.It is normal for
the tire inflation pressure to be higher
after driving.
DBe sure to reinstall the tire valve
caps.Without the valve caps, dirt or
moisture could get into the valve core
and cause air leakage. If the caps
have been lost, have new ones put on
as soon as possible.
