Driving
4-4.Refueling
Turn the engine switch off and 
ensure that all the doors and 
windows are closed.
 Confirm the type of fuel.
■Fuel types
 P. 3 7 3
■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 
cap
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.
●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 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:
●Securely insert the fuel nozzle 
into the fuel filler neck.
●Stop filling the tank after the fuel 
nozzle automatically clicks off.

When trouble arises
side when braking
 Vehicle pulls heavily to one 
side when driving on a level 
road
 Loss of brake effectiveness, 
spongy feeling, pedal almost 
touches the floor
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
To minimize the risk of fuel 
leakage when the engine 
stalls or when an airbag 
inflates upon collision, the 
fuel pump shut off system 
stops the supply of fuel to 
the engine.
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.

Vehicle 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 recomme nds 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 Gasoline and a list 
of marketers, please 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).
●If you use gasohol in your vehicle, 
be sure that it has an octane rat-
ing no lower than 87.
●Toyota does not recommend the 
use of gasoline containing metha-
nol.
■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 re commend the use 
of gasoline that contains MMT. If 
fuel containing MMT is used, your 
emission control system may be 
Fuel infor mation
You must only use unleaded 
gasoline.
Select octane rating of 87 
(Research Octane Number 
91) or higher. Use of 
unleaded gasoline with an 
octane rating lower than 87 
may result in engine knock-
ing. Persistent knocking 
can lead to engine damage.
At minimum, the gasoline you 
use should meet the specifica-
tions of ASTM D4814 in the 
U.S.A.
