2017 TOYOTA PROACE refuelling

13
Limit the causes of excess
consumption
Spread loads throughout the vehicle; place the heaviest items in the bottom of the boot, as close as possible to the rear seats.Limit the loads carried in the vehicle and reduce wind resistance (roof bars, roof rack, bicycle carrier, trailer...). Use a roof box in preference.Remove roof bars and roof racks after use.
At the end of winter, remove snow tyres and refit your summer tyres.
Observe the recommendations
on maintenance
Check the tyre pressures regularly, when cold, referring to the label in the door aperture, driver's side.Carry out this check in particular:- before a long journey,- at each change of season,- after a long period out of use.Don't forget the spare wheel and the tyres on any trailer or caravan.
Have your vehicle serviced regularly (engine oil, oil filter, air filter, passenger compartment filter...) and observe the schedule of operations recommended in the manufacturer's service schedule.
With a Diesel engine, if the SCR system is faulty your vehicle becomes polluting; go to an authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional without delay to have the emissions of nitrogen oxides brought back to the legal level.
When refuelling, do not continue after the third cut-off of the nozzle to avoid any over flow.
At the wheel of your new vehicle, it is only after the first 1 800 miles (3 000 kilometres) that you will see the fuel consumption settle down to a consistent average.

Always switch off the programmable heating while refuelling to avoid any risk of fire or explosion.To avoid the risk of intoxication and asphyxiation, the programmable heating must not be used, even for short periods, in an enclosed area such as a garage or workshop not equipped with exhaust gas extraction.Do not park the vehicle on an inflammable sur face (dry grass, dead leaves, paper…), there is a risk of fire.Glazed sur faces such as the rear screen or windscreen can become very hot in places.Take care not to place objects in contact with these sur faces, nor touch them with your hands or any other part of your body.
The heating is activated provided that:- the battery is sufficiently charged,- the fuel level is adequate,- the engine has been started since the previous heating cycle.
The programmable heating system is supplied by the vehicle's fuel tank.Before use, ensure that there is enough fuel in the tank.If the tank is on reserve, it is recommended that the system is not used.
The ventilation is activated provided that the battery is sufficiently charged.
Ease of use and comfort

Fuel tank
Opening
If your vehicle is fitted with Stop & Start, never refuel with the engine in STOP mode; you must switch off the ignition using the key, or the START/STOP
button if your vehicle has Smart Entry & Start System.
F You must switch off the engine.F If your vehicle has Smart Entry & Start System, unlock the vehicle.F Open the filler flap.
Refuelling
Additions of fuel must be of at least 8 litres to be registered by the fuel gauge.Opening the filler cap may result in an inrush of air. This vacuum is entirely normal and results from the sealing of the fuel system.
F Remove the filler cap by unscrewing it, then place it on the carrier located on the filler flap.F Introduce the nozzle and push it in fully (pushing on the metal non-return valve A).F Fill the tank. Do not continue past the third cut-off of the nozzle, as this may cause malfunctions.F Refit the filler cap turning it to the right.F Push the filler flap to close it (your vehicle must be unlocked).
F Take care to select the pump that delivers the correct fuel type for your vehicle's engine (reminder on a label on the inside of the filler flap).
Capacity of the tank: approximately 69 litres.
F If your vehicle has a conventional key, introduce the key into the filler cap, then turn it to the left.

Practical information

Low fuel level
When the low fuel level in the tank is reached, this warning lamp comes on in the instrument panel, accompanied by an audible warning and a message.
Fuel supply cut-off
Your vehicle is equipped with a safety device which cuts off the fuel supply in the event of a collision.
When it first comes on, less than 8 litres of fuel remain in the tank.You must refuel as soon as possible to avoid running out.
If you have put in the wrong fuel for your vehicle, you must have the tank drained and refilled with the correct fuel before you star t the engine.
Your vehicle is fitted with a catalytic converter, a device which helps to reduce the level of harmful emissions in the exhaust gases.
Diesel misfuel
prevention
Mechanical device which prevents filling the tank of a Diesel vehicle with petrol. It avoids the risk of engine damage that can result from filling with the wrong fuel.Located in the filler neck, the misfuel prevention device appears when the filler cap is removed.
When a petrol filler nozzle is introduced into the fuel filler neck of your Diesel vehicle, it comes into contact with the flap. The system remains closed and prevents filling.Do not persist but introduce a Diesel filler nozzle.
If your vehicle has sliding side doors, do not open the left hand sliding door as there is a risk of damaging the fuel filler flap when refuelling.

Fuel used for Diesel
engines
The Diesel engines are compatible with biofuels that conform to current and future European standards and and can be obtained from filling stations:
The use of B20 or B30 fuel meeting standard EN16709 is possible in your Diesel engine. However, this use, even occasional, requires strict application of the special servicing conditions referred to as "Arduous conditions".For more information, contact an authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.
It is still possible to use a fuel can to fill the tank but this must be done slowly.In order to ensure a good flow of fuel, do not place the nozzle of the fuel can in direct contact with the flap of the misfuel prevention device.
Travelling abroad
As Diesel fuel pump nozzles may be different in other countries, the presence of the misfuel prevention device may make refuelling impossible.Before travelling abroad, we recommend that
you check with the Toyota dealer network, whether your vehicle is suitable for the fuel pumps in the country in which you want to travel.
The use of any other type of (bio)fuel (vegetable or animal oils, pure or diluted, domestic fuel...) is strictly prohibited (risk of damage to the engine and fuel system).
The only Diesel additives authorised for use are those that meet the B715000 standard.
- Diesel fuel that meets standard EN590 mixed with a biofuel that meets standard EN14214 (possibly containing up to 7 % Fatty Acid Methyl Ester),
- Diesel fuel that meets standard EN16734 mixed with a biofuel that meets standard EN14214 (possibly containing up to 10 % Fatty Acid Methyl Ester),
- Paraffinic Diesel fuel that meets standard EN15940 mixed with a biofuel that meets standard EN14214 (possibly containing up to 7 % Fatty Acid Methyl Ester).
