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 th rough better performance.■
Lexus recommends the use of gasoline containing detergent additives ●
Lexus recommends the use of gasoline that contains detergent additives to
avoid build-up of engine deposits. ●
All gasoline sold in the US contains minimum detergent additives to clean and/
or keep clean intake systems, per EP A’s lowest additives concentration pro-
gram. ●
Lexus strongly recommends the use of Top Tier Detergent Gasoline. For more
information on Top Tier Detergent Gasoline and a list of marketers, please go to
the official website www.toptiergas.com.■
Lexus recommends the use of cleaner burning gasoline
Cleaner burning gasoline, including reform ulated gasoline that contains oxygen-
ates such as ethanol or MTBE (Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether) is available in many
areas.
Lexus recommends the use of cleaner burning gasoline and appropriately blended
reformulated gasoline. These types of gasoline provide excellent vehicle perfor-
mance, reduce vehicle emissions and improve air quality.

Notice on fuel quality ●
Do not use improper fuels. If improper fuels are used the engine will be damaged. ●
Do not use leaded gasoline.
Leaded gasoline can cause damage to your vehicle’s three-way catalytic convert-
ers 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. ●
Using 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.■
Fuel-related poor driveability
If after using a different type of fuel, poor driveability is encountered (poor hot start-
ing, vaporization, engine knoc king, 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.
