Safety notes
WARNING
Incorrectly performed work in the
engine compartment can damage
components and lead to a safety risk.
There is a danger of accidents or
damage to property. Have work in the
engine compartment undertaken by
any authorized Toyota retailer or
Toyota authorized repairer, or any reli-
able repairer.
WARNING
The engine compartment contains
moving components. Certain compo-
nents in the engine compartment can
also move when the vehicle is
switched off, for example the radiator
fan. There is a danger of injury. Do
not reach into an area where there
are moving parts. Keep articles of
clothing and hair away from moving
parts.
WARNING
The bonnet has protruding parts on
the inside, for example locking hooks.
There is a danger of injury. When the
bonnet is open, watch out for protrud-
ing parts and keep these areas clear.
WARNING
If the bonnet is not correctly locked, it
can come open during the journey
and impair visibility. There is a danger
of accidents. Stop immediately and
close the bonnet correctly.
WARNING
Parts of the body can become
trapped when opening and closing
the bonnet. There is a danger of
injury. When opening and closing,
make sure that the area of movement
of the bonnet is kept clear.
NOTICE
When wipers are folded away from
the windscreen, they can be trapped
when the bonnet is opened. There is
a danger of damage to property.
Before opening the bonnet, make
sure that the wipers with wiper blades
fitted are in contact with the wind-
screen.
NOTICE
When closing, the bonnet must lock
into place on both sides. Applying
additional pressure can damage the

Depending on the region, many fill-
ing stations sell fuel that is adapted
to winter or summer conditions.
Fuel that is sold in winter facilitates
cold starting, for example.
For optimal fuel consumption, the
petrol should be sulphur-free or low
in sulphur content.
Fuels labelled on the pump as con-
taining metal must not be used. ClosingService products

You can fill up with fuels with a
maximum ethanol content of 25 %,
for example E10 or E25.
The engine has knock control. This
means that different petrol grades
can be used.
Super, RON 95.
Unleaded petrol, RON 91.
Engine oil consumption depends on
the driving style and operating con-
ditions.
Therefore check the engine oil level
regularly each time you fill up with
fuel by taking a detailed measure-
ment.
Engine oil consumption can be
increased, for example in the fol-
lowing situations:
• Dynamic driving style.
• Running in the engine. Safety notes
NOTICE
Even small quantities of the wrong
fuel or wrong fuel additives can dam-
age the fuel system and engine. In
addition, the catalytic converter will be
permanently damaged. There is a
danger of damage to property. Do not
use the following fuel or additives with
petrol engines:
• Leaded petrol.
After filling the wrong fuel, do not
press the start/stop button. Contact
any authorized Toyota retailer or
Toyota authorized repairer, or any reli-
able repairer.
• Metallic additives, for example
manganese or iron.
NOTICE
Incorrect fuels can damage the fuel
system and engine. There is a danger
of damage to property. Do not refuel
with fuel with a higher ethanol content
than recommended. Do not refuel
with fuel containing methanol, for
example M5 to M100.
NOTICE
Fuel below the specified minimum
quality can adversely affect engine
function or lead to engine damage.
There is a danger of damage to prop-
erty. Do not refuel with petrol below
the specified minimum quality.

• Use of engine oil grades catego-
rised as unsuitable.
Different vehicle messages are
shown on the Control Display,
depending on the engine oil level.
Electronic oil measurement has two
measurement principles:
• Monitoring.
• Detailed measurement.
When frequently making short trips
or using a dynamic driving style, for
example taking corners at high
speed, regularly perform a detailed
measurement.
■Principle
The engine oil level is electronically
monitored during the journey and
can be shown on the Control Dis-
play.
If the engine oil level is outside its
permissible operating range, a
vehicle message is shown.
■Operating requirements
A current measurement is available
after approximately 30 minutes of
normal driving.
■Displaying the engine oil level
Via Toyota Supra Command:
1"My Vehicle"
2"Vehicle status"
3"Engine oil level"
The engine oil level is displayed.
■System limits
When frequently making short trips
or using a dynamic driving style, it
may not be possible to calculate a
measurement. In this case, the
measurement for the last, suffi-
ciently long journey is displayed.
■Principle
The engine oil level is checked
when the vehicle is stationary and
is shown on a scale.

NOTICE
Too little engine oil causes engine
damage. There is a danger of dam-
