ota dealer)

■Automatic Collision Notifi-
cation
In case of either airbag deploy-
ment or severe rear-end colli-
sion, the system is designed to 
automatically call the response 
center. The responding agent 
receives the vehicle’s location 
and attempts to speak with the 
vehicle occupants to assess the 
level of emergency. If the occu- pants are unable to communi-
cate, the agent automatically 
treats the call as an emergency, 
contacts the nearest emer-
gency services provider to 
describe the situation, and 
requests that assistance be sent 
to the location.
■Stolen Vehicle Location
If your vehicle is stolen, Safety 
Connect can work with local 
authorities to assist them in 
locating and recovering the 
vehicle. After filing a police 
report, call the Safety Connect 
response center at 1-800-331-
4331 in the United States, 1-
877-855-8377 in Puerto Rico or 
1-888-869-6828 in Canada, and 
follow the prompts for Safety 
Connect to initiate this service.
In addition to assisting law 
enforcement with recovery of a 
stolen vehicle, Safety-Connect-
equipped vehicle location data 
may, under certain circum-
stances, be shared with third 
parties to locate your vehicle. 
Further information is available 
at Toyota.com.

the road, push the “SOS” button 
to reach the Safety Connect 
response center. The answer-
ing agent will determine your

5508-1. Specifications
Owners Manual_USA_M0C031_en
■Non-recommendation of the 
use of gasoline containing MMT
Some gasoline contains an octane 
enhancing additive called MMT 
(Methylcyclopentadienyl Manga-
nese Tricarbonyl).
Toyota does not recommend the use 
of gasoline that contains MMT. If 
fuel containing MMT is used, your 
emission control system may be 
adversely affected.
The malfunction indicator lamp on 
the instrument cluster may come on. 
If this happens, contact your Toyota 
dealer for service.
■If your engine knocks
●Consult your Toyota dealer.
●You may occasionally notice light 
knocking for a short time while 
accelerating or dr iving uphill. This 
is normal and there is no need for 
concern.
NOTICE
■Notice on fuel quality
●Do not use impro per fuels. If 
improper fuels are used, the 
engine will be damaged.
●Do not use leaded gasoline.
Leaded gasoline can cause 
damage to your vehicle’s three-
way catalytic converters caus-
ing the emission control system 
to malfunction.
●Do not use gasohol other than 
the type previously stated.
Other gasohol may cause fuel 
system damage or vehicle per-
formance problems.
●Using unleaded gasoline with 
an octane number or rating 
lower than the l evel previously 
stated will cause persistent 
heavy knocking.
At worst, this will lead to engine 
damage.
■Fuel-related poor driveability
If poor driveability (poor hot start-
ing, vaporization, engine knock-
ing, etc.) is encountered after 
using a different type of fuel, dis-
continue the use  of that type of 
fuel.
■When refueling with gasohol
Take care not to spill gasohol. It 
can damage your vehicle’s paint.
