1964-4. Refueling
Opening the fuel tank cap
●Close all the doors and windows, and turn the engine switch to the
“LOCK” position.
● Confirm the type of fuel.
■Fuel types
Gasoline vehicles
Unleaded gasoline (Octane rating 87 [Research Octane Number 91] or
higher)
Flex-fuel vehicles
Unleaded gasoline (Octane rating 87 [Research Octane Number 91] or
higher), E85 or a blend of these two fuels. ( P. 516)
■ Identifying flex-fuel vehicles
■ E85 Fueling Stations (Flex-fuel vehicles)
E85 fueling stations and fuel pumps can be identified by the indication “E85
85% Ethanol”. For more information about fueling stations, please refer to the
U.S. Department of Energy Web site.
http://www.afdc.energy.gov/afdc/locator/stations/
Perform the following steps to  open the fuel tank cap: 
Before refueling the vehicle
Flex-fuel vehicles can be identified by the
fuel tank cap, which is marked “FLEX-
FUEL E85/GASOLINE”.

When trouble arises
8-2. Steps to take in an emergency
Fuel pump shut off system
Follow the procedure below to restart the engine after the system is
activated.Turn the engine switch to the “ACC” or “LOCK” position.
Restart the engine.
To minimize the risk of fuel leakage when the engine stalls or
when an airbag inflates upon collision, the fuel pump shut off
system stops supply of fuel to the engine.
NOTICE
■Before starting the engine
Inspect the ground under the vehicle.
If you find that fuel has leaked onto the ground, the fuel system has been
damaged and is in need of repair. Do not restart the engine.

5169-1. Specifications
Fuel information
■Fuel tank opening for unleaded gasoline
To help prevent incorrect fueling, your vehicle has a fuel tank opening that
only accommodates the special nozzle on unleaded fuel pumps.
■ Fuel quality
In very few cases, driveability problems may be caused by the brand of fuel
you are using. If driveability problems persist, try changing the brand of fuel. If
this does not correct the problem, consult your Toyota dealer.
Gasoline engine
You must only use unleaded gasoline in your vehicle.
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 knocking can lead to
engine damage.
At minimum, the gasoline you use s hould meet the specifications of
ASTM D4814 in the U.S.A. and CGSB3.5-M93 in Canada.
Flex-fuel engine
You must only use unleaded gasoline in your vehicle, E85, or a
blend of the two fuels.
Unleaded gasoline (Octane rating 87 [Research Octane Number
91] or higher), E85, or a blend of these two fuels is required for
optimum engine performance.
The use of unleaded gasoline with an octane rating lower than
87 may result in engine knocki ng. Persistent knocking can lead
to engine damage.
The use of fuel with an ethanol concentration in excess of 85%
will have a negative impact on driving performance and can
cause damage to the fuel system components.
At minimum, the gasoline you use s hould meet the specifications of
ASTM D4814 in the U.S.A. and CGSB3.5-M93 in Canada.
At minimum, the E85 you use s hould meet the specifications of
ASTM D5798 in the U.S.A. 

5189-1. Specifications
■Non-recommendation of the use of blended gasoline (gasoline engine)
●If you use gasohol in your vehicle, be sure that it has an octane rating no
lower than 87.
● Toyota does not recommend the use of gasoline containing methanol.
■ Non-recommendation of the use of gasoline containing MMT
Some gasoline contains an 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.
■ Toyota does not recommend blende d gasoline (Flex-fuel engine)
Do not use non-specified fuels such as the following.
● Fuels containing methanol.
● Fuels with more than 85% ethanol.
■ Toyota does not recommend  the use of after-market fuel additives (Flex-
fuel engine)
Do not use any after-market fuel additives when repeatedly refueling with
E85, as some after-market fuel additives are not compatible with E85.
■ If your engine knocks
●Consult your Toyota dealer.
● You may occasionally notice light knocking for a short time while accelerat-
ing or driving uphill. This is normal and there is no need for concern.
●
Use only gasoline containing a maxi-
mum of 10% ethanol.
DO NOT use any flex-fuel or gasoline
that could contain more than 10% etha-
nol, including from any pump labeled
E15, E30, E50, E85 (which are only
some examples of fuel containing more
than 10% ethanol).
DO NOT use gasoline contain-
ing more than 10% ethanol.
(15% ethanol)
(50% ethanol)
(85% ethanol)
