NOTICE
■
Notice on fuel quality
● Do not use improper fuels. If improper fuels are used, the engine will be
damaged.
●
Gasoline engine: Do not use leaded gasoline.
Leaded gasoline will cause the three-way catalytic converter to lose its
effectiveness and the emission control system to function improperly.
●
Gasoline engine: Bioethanol fuel sold under names such as "E50" or "E85"
and fuel containing a large amount of ethanol should not be used. Your
vehicle can use gasoline mixed with 10 % max ethanol. The use of fuel
with more than 10 % ethanol content (E10) will damage the vehicle's fuel
system. You must ensure that refueling is carried out only from a source
where fuel specification and quality can be guaranteed. In case of any
doubt, ask any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly quali-
fied and equipped professional.
●
Diesel engine (EU area): FAME (Fatty Acid Methyl Ester) fuel sold under
names such as "B30" or "B100" and fuel containing a large amount of
FAME should not be used. The use of these fuels will damage the vehi-
cle's fuel system. In case of any doubt, ask any authorized Toyota dealer
or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped professional.
