Confirm the type of fuel.
■Fuel types
P. 3 8 8
■Fuel tank opening for unleaded
gasoline
To help prevent incorrect fueling,
your vehicle has a fuel tank opening
that only accommodates the spe-
cial nozzle on unle aded fuel pumps.
■If the malfunction indicator

WARNING
■When refueling the vehicle
Observe the following precautions
while refueling the vehicle. Failure
to do so may result in death or
serious injury.
●Do not handle fuel indoors.
●After exiting the vehicle and
before opening the fuel door,
touch an unpainted metal sur-
face to discharge any static
electricity. It is important to dis-
charge static electricity before
refueling because sparks result-
ing from static electricity can
cause fuel vapors to ignite while
refueling.
●Always hold the grips on the
fuel tank cap and turn it slowly
to remove it.
A whooshing sound may be
heard when the f uel tank cap is
loosened. Wait until the sound
cannot be heard before fully
removing the cap. In hot
weather, pressurized fuel may
spray out the filler neck and
cause injury.
●Do not allow anyone that has
not discharged static electricity
from their body to come close to
an open fuel tank.
●Do not allow anyone to
approach the area of the vehicle
near the fuel f iller pipe while
refueling is in progress.
●Do not inhale vaporized fuel.
Fuel contains substances that
are harmful if inhaled.
●Do not smoke while refueling
the vehicle.
Doing so may cause the fuel to
ignite and cause a fire.
●Do not return to the vehicle or
touch any person or object that
is statically charged.
This may cause static electricity
to build up, resulting in a possi-
ble ignition hazard.
■When refueling
Observe the following precautions
to prevent fuel overflowing from
the fuel tank:

and remove it, then put it into
the holder on the fuel filler
door.
■When opening the fuel filler
door
The fuel filler door cannot be
opened if the doo rs have been

WARNING
●Securely insert the fuel nozzle
into the fuel filler neck.
●Stop filling the tank after the fuel
nozzle automatically clicks off.
●Do not top off the fuel tank.
●Turn the cap to the right until it
clicks to ensure that it is fully
tightened. If the cap is not
securely tightened, fuel spillage
could occur in t he event of an
accident, creating a fire hazard.
NOTICE
■Refueling
●Do not spill fuel during refueling.
Doing so may damage the vehi-
cle, such as causing the emis-
sion control system to operate
abnormally or damaging fuel
system components or the vehi-
cle’s painted surface.
●Never add any cleaning agents
to the fuel tank. The addition of
a cleaning agent may cause
damage to the fuel system.
●Immediately put fuel in the tank
whenever the low fuel warning
light illuminates. Engine misfires
as a result of an empty tank
could cause damage to the
engine.

■Repair and replacement
It is recommended that genuine
Toyota parts be used for repairs to
ensure performanc e of each sys-
tem. If non-Toyota parts are used in
replacement or if a repair shop other
than a Toyota dealer performs
repairs, confirm the warranty cover-
age.
■Allow inspection and repairs to
be performed by a Toyota
dealer
●Toyota technicians are
well-trained specialists and are
kept up to date with the latest ser-
vice information. They are well
informed about the operation of all
systems on your vehicle.
●Keep a copy of the repair order. It
proves that the maintenance that
has been performed is under war-
ranty coverage. If any problem
should arise while your vehicle is
under warranty, your Toyota
dealer will promptly take care of it.
General maintenance should be
performed on a daily basis. This
can be done by yourself or by a
Toyota dealer.
Scheduled maintenance should
be performed at specified inter-
vals according to the mainte-
nance schedule.
For details about maintenance
items and schedules, refer to the
“Scheduled Maintenance Guide” or
“Owner’s Manual Supplement”.
Maintenance require-
ments
To ensure safe and econom-
ical driving, day-to-day care
and regular maintenance
are essential. It is the
owner’s responsibility to
perform regular checks.
Toyota recommends the
maintenance below.
WARNING
■If your vehicle is not properly
maintained
Improper maintenance could
result in serious damage to the

constituents, and a wide variety
of automobile components con-
tain or emit chemicals known to
the State of California to cause
cancer and birth defects and
other reproductive harm. Work
in a well ventilated area.
●Oils, fuels and fluids contained
in vehicles as well as waste pro-
duced by component wear con-
tain or emit chemicals known to
the State of California to cause
cancer and birth defects or
other reproductive harm. Avoid
exposure and wash any
affected area immediately.
●Battery posts, terminals and
related accessories contain lead
and lead compounds which are
known to cause brain damage.
Wash your hands after han-
dling. ( P.309)
