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

to the future economy and long life of

your vehicle:

Do not drive over 88 km/h (55 mph).

Run the engine at moderate speed be-

tween 2000 and 4000 rpm.

Avoid full- throttle starts.

Try to avoid hard stops during the first

300 km (200 miles).

Do not drive slowly with the manual

transmission in a high gear.

Do not drive for a long time at any

single speed, either fast or slow.

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 new smaller fuel tank open-

ing. The special nozzle on pumps with

unleaded fuel will fit it, but the larger

standard nozzle on pumps with leaded gas

will not.

At a minimum,

the gasoline you use

should

meet

Specifications

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.

OCTANE NUMBER

Select Octane Rating 87 (Research Oc-

tane Number 91) or higher.

Use of unleaded fuel with an octane num-

ber or rating lower than stated above will

cause persistent heavy knocking. If se-

vere, this will lead to engine damage.

My 99 Toyota Corolla ac smells can't find the problem was told there is no ac filter

1 comments:

Mr. Anderson

May 14, 2025

If there is no AC filter in a 1999 Toyota Corolla, a bad smell from the AC could be caused by mold or bacteria buildup in the air conditioning system, especially in the evaporator or air ducts. Recirculating air (using the recirculate setting) for long periods can worsen this by trapping moisture and contaminants inside the system.
