Break−In Period; Fuel - Toyota HIGHLANDER HYBRID 2007 Manual

D
Always slow down in gusty cross-
winds. Because of its profile and
higher center of gravity, your ve-
hicle is more sensitive to
winds than an ordinary passenger
car. Slowing down will allow you to
have better control.
D
When off−road driving cannot be
avoided, do not drive at excessive
speeds, jump, make sharp turns, or
strike objects, etc. These maneu-
vers may result in loss of control
or vehicle rollover causing death or
serious injury. You also risk expen-
sive damage to your vehicle's sus-
pension and chassis.
D
Do not drive horizontally across
steep slopes. Driving straight up or
straight down is preferred. Your ve-
hicle (or any similar off−road ve-
hicle) can tip over sideways much
more easily than forward or back-
ward.

Break−in period
Drive gently and avoid high speeds.
Your vehicle does not need an elaborate
break−in. But following a few simple tips
for the first 1600 km (1000 miles) can add
side
to the future economy and long life of
your vehicle:
D
Avoid full throttle acceleration when
starting and driving.
D
Avoid racing the hybrid system.
D
Try to avoid hard stops during the first
300 km (200 miles).
D
Do not tow a trailer during the first 800
km (500 miles).

Fuel

FUEL TYPE
Your new vehicle must use only un-
leaded gasoline.
To help prevent gas station mix−ups, your
Toyota has a smaller fuel tank opening.
The special nozzle on pumps with un-
leaded fuel will fit it, but the larger stan-
dard nozzle on pumps with leaded gas will
not.
At a minimum, the gasoline you use
should meet the specifications of ASTM
D4814 in the U.S.A. and CGSB 3.5−M93
in Canada.
NOTICE
Do not use leaded gasoline. Use of
leaded gasoline will cause the three−
way catalytic converter to lose its ef-
fectiveness and the emission control
system to function improperly. Also,
this can increase maintenance costs.
