DRIVING HINTS
Add-on parts on the vehicle inter-
fere with its aerodynamic perfor-
mance and increase fuel
consumption.
Open windows increase drag and
consequently fuel consumption.
Tyres can have differing effects on
consumption. For example, con-
sumption can be affected by tyre
size.
Check and, if necessary, correct the
tyre inflation pressures at least
twice a month and before setting off
on a longer journey.
Insufficient tyre inflation pressure
increases rolling resistance and
consequently fuel consumption and
tyre wear.
Do not warm up the engine with the
vehicle at a standstill; it is prefera-
ble to set off straight away, driving
at moderate engine speeds.This brings the cold engine up to
operating temperature as quickly as
possible.
Anticipating the road situation and
adopting a smooth driving style will
reduce fuel consumption.
Avoid accelerating and braking
unnecessarily.
Keep an appropriate distance from
the vehicle ahead.
Driving at low engine speeds
reduces fuel consumption and
wear.
Pay attention to the shift point indi-
cator, see page 160, in the vehicle,
if fitted.
When approaching a red traffic
light, take your foot off the accelera-
tor and allow the vehicle to roll.
On downward stretches, take your
foot off the accelerator and allow
the vehicle to roll.
The fuel supply is interrupted in
overrun mode. Remove add-on parts after
use

Supra Owner's Manual4-1. DRIVING HINTS
When you stop the vehicle for
longer periods, for example at traf-
fic lights, railway crossings or in
traffic jams, switch off the engine.
The Auto Start/Stop of the vehicle
shuts off the engine automatically
during a stop.
If the engine is switched off and
then started again, the fuel con-
sumption and emissions are
reduced compared with a perma-
nently running engine. Savings can
be made just by stopping the
engine for a few seconds.
Fuel consumption also depends on
other factors, such as driving style,
road condition, maintenance or
environmental factors, for example.
Functions such as seat heating or
rear window heating require a great
deal of energy and increase fuel
consumption, especially in city traf-
fic and stop-and-go traffic.
Switch these functions off if they
are not required.Have the vehicle serviced regularly
to achieve optimal economy and
lifetime. Toyota recommends hav-
ing maintenance work carried out
by Toyota. Switch off the engine if stop-
ping for longer periods

This chapter describes all standard,
country-specific and special equip-
ment available for the model series.
It may therefore describe equip-
ment and functions which are not
installed in your vehicle, for exam-
ple on account of the optional
equipment selected or the country
specification. This also applies to
safety-relevant functions and sys-
tems. Please comply with the rele-
vant laws and regulations when
using the corresponding functions
and systems.
Before refuelling, observe the notes
on fuel quality, see page 307.
When refuelling, insert the filler
nozzle fully into the filler neck. Lift-
ing the filler nozzle during refuelling
results in the following:
The fuel supply being cut off pre-
maturely.
Fuel vapour and fumes being
recovered less effectively.
The fuel tank is full when the filler
nozzle cuts out for the first time.
Please comply with the safety regu-
lations displayed at filling stations.1Briefly press the rear edge of
the fuel filler flap.

Safety notes
NOTICE
If the range drops below 50 km, 30
miles, the engine may no longer be
supplied with sufficient fuel. Engine
function is no longer ensured. There
is a danger of damage to property.
Refuel in good time.
NOTICE
Fuels are poisonous and aggressive.
Overfilling the fuel tank can damage
the fuel system. If fuel comes into
contact with paintwork, it can damage
them. This pollutes the environment.
There is a danger of damage to prop-
erty. Avoid overfilling.

3Place the fuel tank cap in the
holder on the fuel filler flap.
1Fit the tank cap and turn clock-
wise until it is clearly heard to
click into place.
2Close the fuel filler flap.In certain situations, it may be nec-
essary to unlock the fuel filler flap
manually, for example if there is an
electrical fault.
Have the fuel filler flap unlocked by
any authorized Toyota retailer or
Toyota authorized repairer, or any
reliable repairer.
Closing
WARNING
The retaining strap of the fuel tank
cap may become trapped and
crushed when turning the cap to close
it. It will then not be possible to close
the cap properly. Fuel or fuel vapours
can leak out. There is a danger of
injury or damage to property. Make
sure that the retaining strap does not
get trapped and crushed when clos-
ing the cap.

A tyre's condition and inflation pres-
sure influence the following:
• Lifetime of the tyre.
• Driving safety.
• Driving comfort.
• Fuel consumption.The tyre inflation pressures are
shown on the door pillar of the
driver's door.
The tyre inflation pressure data
applies to the tyre sizes and recom-
mended tyre makes which have
been classified by the vehicle man-
ufacturer as suitable for the respec-
tive vehicle type.
If the tyre's speed code cannot be
found, then the tyre inflation pres-
sure for the corresponding tyre size
applies.

Safety note
WARNING
A tyre with too little or no tyre inflation
pressure can heat up significantly and
sustain damage. Driving properties,
for example steering and braking, will
be impaired as a result. There is a
danger of accidents. Check the tyre
inflation pressure regularly and adjust
as necessary, for example twice a
month or before any long journey

for the respective load conditions
will apply, in accordance with the
vehicle's actual load condition.
Example: for a partially loaded
vehicle, the optimum tyre inflation
pressure is the one stated for a par-
tially loaded vehicle.
More information regarding wheels
and tyres can be obtained from any
authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota
authorized repairer, or any reliable
repairer.
The current tire pressure of each
installed wheel can be displayed on
the control display.
To ensure that they are displayed
correctly, the tyre sizes must be
stored in the system and must have
been set, see page 290, for the
mounted tyres.
The current tyre inflation pressure
value is shown on each tyre.Tyres heat up while driving. The
tyre inflation pressure increases
with the temperature of the tyre.
Tyres have a natural, uniform loss
of tyre inflation pressure.
Inflating devices can display a pres-
sure that may be up to 0.1 bar too
low.
The tyre inflation pressure inscrip-
tions on the tyre inflation pressure
sign on the door pillar only relate to
cold tyres or tyres at the same tem-
perature as the ambient tempera-
ture.
Only check the tyre inflation pres-
sures when the tyres are cold, i.e.:
• A driving distance of max. 2 km,
1.25 miles has not been
exceeded.
• If the vehicle has not moved
again for at least 2 hours after a
journey.
Regularly check the tyre inflation
pressure of the emergency wheel in
the boot and correct the pressure if
necessary.

inflation pressures for the tyres For Australia/New Zealand
WARNING
The inflation pressures on the tyre
label are applicable only for tyres
explicitly mentioned on the label.
Inflation pressures for tyres that may
be covered by the label – by size,
speed category and load rating/load
index – but not explicitly mentioned
on the label may be different. Please
obtain adequate inflation pressures in
accordance with the tyre manufac-
turer's specifications from your tyre
dealer.

The tyre tread depth should not be
less than 3 mm, 0.12 in, otherwise
there is a high risk of aquaplaning.
The tyre tread depth should not be
