Close both side doors and
windows, and turn the engine
switch off.
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
lamp illuminates
The malfunction indicator lamp may
illuminate erroneous ly if refueling is
performed repeatedly when the fuel
tank is nearly full.
Opening the fuel tank

Perform the following steps
to open the fuel tank cap:

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:

3427-2. Steps to take in an emergency
The following may indicate a
problem with your transmission.
Contact your Toyota dealer or
commercial towing service
before towing.
The engine is running but the
vehicle does not move.
The vehicle makes an abnor-
mal sound.
From the front
Use a towing dolly under the
rear wheels.
From the rear
WARNING
■After towing
Make sure to remove the towing
eyelet.
If not removed, the SRS airbags
may not deploy correctly if the
vehicle is involved in a frontal col-
lision, or the fuel pump shutoff
system may not operate correctly
if involved in a rear collision.
NOTICE
■To prevent damage to the
vehicle when towing using a
wheel-lift type truck
●Do not tow the vehicle from the
rear when the engine switch is
off. The steering lock mecha-
nism is not strong enough to
hold the front wheels straight.
●When raising the vehicle,
ensure adequate ground clear-
ance for towing at the opposite
end of the raised vehicle. With-
out adequate clearance, the
vehicle could be damaged while
being towed.
■To prevent damage to the
vehicle when towing with a
sling-type truck
Do not tow with a sling-type truck,
either from the front or rear.
■To prevent damage to the
vehicle during emergency
towing
Do not secure cables or chains to
the suspension components.
■When towing down a long
slope
Use a wheel lift-type or flat bed
truck.
If a wheel lift-type or flat bed truck
is not used, the brakes may over-
heat, leading to poor brake perfor-
mance.

essary to contact dealers
before towing

When trouble arises
Follow the procedure below to
restart the engine after the sys-
tem is activated.
1Turn the engine switch to
ACC or OFF.
2 Restart the engine.
Fuel pump shut off
system
When the vehicle sustains
an impact in an accident,
etc., the fuel pump shut off
system operates to stop
supplying fuel in order to
minimize fuel leakage.
Restarting the engine
NOTICE
■Before starting the engine
Inspect the ground under the
vehicle.
If you find that fuel has leaked
onto the ground, the fuel system
has been damaged and is in need
of repair. Do not restart the
engine.
3888-1. Specifications
■Gasoline quality
In very few cases, driveability prob-
lems may be caused by the brand of
gasoline you are using. If driveability
problems persist, try changing the
brand of gasoline. If this does not
correct the problem, consult your Toyota dealer.
■Recommendation of the use of
gasoline containing detergent
additives
●Toyota recommends the use of
gasoline that contains detergent
additives to avoid the build-up of
engine deposits.
●All gasoline sold in the U.S.A. con-
tains minimum detergent additives
to clean and/or keep clean intake
systems, per EPA’s lowest addi-
tives concentration program.
●Toyota strongly recommends the
use of Top Tier Detergent Gaso-
line. For more information on Top
Tier Detergent Gas
oline and a list
of marketers, pleas e go to the offi-
cial website www.toptiergas.com.
■Recommendation of the use of
low emissions gasoline
Gasolines containing oxygenates
such as ethers and ethanol, as well
as reformulated gasolines, are avail-
able in some cities. These fuels are
typically acceptable for use, provid-
ing they meet other fuel require-
ments.
Toyota recommends these fuels,
since the formulations allow for
reduced vehicle emissions.
■Non-recommendation of the
use of blended gasoline
●Use only gasoline containing up to
15% ethanol.
DO NOT use any flex-fuel or gas-
oline that could contain more than
15% ethanol, including from any
pump labeled E30 (30% ethanol
[ ]), E50 (50% ethanol [ ]), E85
(85% ethanol [ ]) (which are only
some examples of f uel containing
more than 15% ethanol).
Fuel infor mation
You must only use unleaded
gasoline.
The engine is designed to
operate at maximum perfor-
mance using unleaded gas-
oline with an octane rating
of 93 (98 RON) or higher. If
an octane rating of 93 (98
RON) fuel is not readily
available in your area,
unleaded gasoline with an
octane rating of 91 (95 RON)
may be used with no detri-
ment to engine durability or
driveability. However, you
may notice a slight
decrease in maximum
engine performance and
you may hear some knock-
ing (pinging) of an engine
while using an octane rating
of 91 (95 RON) fuel.
If the octane rating is less
than 91, damage to the
engine may occur and may
void the vehicle warranty.
At minimum, the gasoline
you use should meet the
specifications of ASTM
D4814 in the U.S.A..
