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 position
indicator, see page 171, in the vehi-
cle, if fitted.
When approaching a red traffic
light, take your foot off the accelera-
tor and allow the vehicle to coast to
a stop.
On downward stretc hes, take your
foot off the accelerator and allow
the vehicle to roll.
The fuel supply is interrupted in
overrun mode.
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.
Switching the engine off and on
again reduces fuel consumption
and emissions compared with a
permanently running engine. Sav-
ings can be made just by shutting
down the engine for a few seconds.
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
Think ahead
Avoid high engine speeds

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 special equip-
ment 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 322.
When refuelling, insert the filler
nozzle fully into th e 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.
For Korea: Make sure that the fuel
tank cap is closed properly after
refuelling, otherw ise the emissions
warning lamp may illuminate.
Please comply with the safety regu-
lations displayed at filling stations.

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.

3 Place the fuel tank cap in the
holder on the fuel filler flap.
1 Fit the tank cap and turn clock-
wise until it is clearly heard to
click into place.
2 Close the fuel filler flap.
In certain situations, it may be nec-
essary to unlock th e 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
WA R N I N G
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 pressure informa-
tion is located on the body pillar of
the driver's door.
The tyre pressure applies to all tyre
sizes and recommended tyre
makes that have been rated by the
vehicle manufacturer as suitable for
the vehicle type concerned. The list
can also include tyre sizes that are
only suitable in combination with
specific equipment.
Information about approved wheels
and tyres for the vehicle can be
requested from one of any author-

Tyre inflation pressure
General
Safety note
WA R N I N G
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

The tyre inflation pressure appropri-
ate for the respective load condi-
tions should be used. For example,
if the vehicle is partially loaded, use
the tyre inflation pressure specified
for a partially loaded vehicle.
The current tire pr essure 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 304, 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.:
• If the vehicle has been driven a
distance of no more than 2 km,
1.25 miles.
• 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.
1 Determine the specified tyre
inflation pressures for the tyres
installed on the vehicle.
For Australia/New Zealand
WA R N I N G
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.

2Check the tyre inflation pressure
in all four tyres, using a pressure
gauge, for example.
3 Correct the tyre inflation pres-
sure if the current tyre inflation
pressure value deviates from
the specified value.
4 Check whether all valve caps
are screwed onto the tyre
valves.
Via Toyota Supra Command:

4 Check if the current tyre inflation
pressures match the specified
tyre pressure value.
5 Correct the tyre inflation pres-
sure if the current tyre inflation
pressure value deviates from
the specified value.
For Tyre Pressure Monitor (TPM):
The corrected tyre inflation pres-
sures are applied automatically.
Make sure that the correct tyre set-
tings have been performed.
For tyres that cannot be found in
the tyre inflation pressure informa-
tion on the Control Display, reset
the Tyre Pressure Monitor (TPM).
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
less than 4 mm, 0.16 in, otherwise
the vehicle's suitability for winter
use is restricted.
