Fuel

Selecting the proper fuel is essential
for satisfactory engine performance.
Engine damage caused by use of improp-
er fuels is not covered under Toyota's new
vehicle warranty.
NOTICE
z Do not use improper fuels. If im-
proper fuels are used the engine
will be damaged.
z 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. Your vehicle can use diesel
mixed with 5% max biodiesel FAME
(B5). The use of fuel with more
than 5% FAME content (B5) 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 your Toyota dealer.

CETANE NUMBER
Select cetane number 50 (cetane index
45) or higher.
Use of fuel with an cetane number lower
than stated will cause persistent heavy
knocking. If severe, this will lead to en-
gine damage.
If your engine knocks...
If you detect heavy knocking even when
using the recommended fuel, or if you
hear steady knocking while holding a
steady speed on level roads, consult your
Toyota dealer.
However, occasionally, you may notice
light knocking for a short time while accel-
erating or driving up hills. This is normal
and there is no need for concern.
