■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
Research Octane Number that follows the above.

Low sulfur diesel fuel may not be available, so please confirm the availability
with your distributor.

● Consult any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any
reliable repairer.

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.

of any doubt, ask any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized
repairer, or any reliable repairer.
