WARNING
■ To prevent burns or damage on your vehicle
NOTICE
■To prevent damage to your vehicle
●Do not turn the heater on and off repeatedly in 5 minute intervals as this
can shorten the life of the heater components. If the engine must be turned
on and off repeatedly within short intervals (such as when the vehicle is
being used for delivery purposes), turn the heater off.
● Do not modify or open the heater without consulting any authorized Toyota
dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.
This may cause a heater malfunction or a fire.
● Be careful not to splash water or spill liquid directly on the heater or on the
heater fuel pump. This may cause the heater to malfunction.
● Keep the intake and exhaust pipes of the heater free from water, snow,
ice, mud, etc. If the pipes become clogged, this can cause the heater to
malfunction.
● If you notice anything unusual, such as a fluid leak, smoke or poor opera-
tion, turn off the heater and have your vehicle checked by any authorized
Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped profes-
sional.
●Do not touch the heater or its exhaust
pipe as they are hot.
● Keep flammable items such as fuel
away from the heater and its exhaust
pipe. This may cause a fire.

activated.Turn the engine switch to the “ACC” or “LOCK” position (vehicles
without smart entry & start system), or ACCESSORY mode or off
(vehicles with smart entry & start system).

To minimize the risk of fuel leakage when the engine stalls or an
airbag inflates upon collision, the fuel pump shut off system
stops supplying fuel to the engine.

■Before starting the engine
Inspect the ground under the vehicle.
If you find that fuel has leaked on to the ground, the fuel system has been
damaged and is in need of repair. Do not restart the engine.

Vehicle specifications
■Fuel tank opening for unleaded gasoline (gasoline engine)
To help prevent incorrect fueling, your Toyota has a fuel tank opening that
only accommodates the special nozzle on unleaded fuel pumps.
■ If you plan to drive in foreign countries (diesel engine)
Low sulfur diesel fuel may not be available, so please confirm the availability
with your distributor.
■ If your engine knocks
●Consult any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified
and equipped professional.
● 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.
NOTICE
■Notice on fuel quality
●Do not use improper fuels. If improper fuels are used the engine will be
damaged.
● Gasoline engine: Do not use leaded gasoline.
Leaded gasoline will cause the three-way catalytic converter to lose its
effectiveness and emission control system to function improperly.
● Diesel engine:
Do not use a fuel that contains more than 10 ppm of sulfur.
Use of such a high sulfur fuel may damage the engine.
● Gasoline engine (EU area): Bioethanol fuel sold under names such as
“E50” or “E85” and fuel containing a large amount of ethanol should not be
used. The use of these fuels will damage the vehicle’s fuel system. In case
of any doubt, ask any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly
qualified and equipped professional.
● Gasoline engine (except EU area): Bioethanol fuel sold under names such
as “E50” or “E85” and fuel containing a large amount of ethanol should not
be used. Your vehicle can use gasoline mixed with 10% max ethanol. The
use of fuel with more than 10% ethanol content (E10) will damage the
vehicle’s fuel system. You must ensure that refueling is carried out only
from a source where fuel specification and quality can be guaranteed. In
case of any doubt, ask any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another
duly qualified and equipped professional.
