TIPS ON SAFE AND SMOOTH OPERATION
CAUTION
• Be sure to use ultra-low sulfur diesel fuel (with sulfur content no higher than 10
ppm) or low sulfur diesel fuel (with sulfur content no higher than 50 ppm).
• If you supplied the vehicle with poor-quality fuel, water-removing additive or
other additive, gasoline, kerosene or alcohol-based fuel, it could harm the
fuel filter, prevent proper movement of fuel-lubricated parts in the injectors
and adversely affect the engine, possibly resulting in a breakdown. If you
accidentally put the wrong fuel in the tank, drain it all out. Starting the engine
with the wrong fuel in the tank could result in a fire or engine damage.
• Open the fuel tank filler cap slowly. If you open it quickly, fuel may spurt out.
If you drive to a cold region in winter while using diesel fuel for warmer regions
that freezes at a relatively high temperature, the fuel may freeze. As the ambient
temperature decreases, the fuel in the fuel tank and pipes may freeze like slush,
making the engine hard to start.
NOTE
• The specifications of diesel fuel differ according to the season and region.
• When driving to a cold region, put just enough fuel to reach the colder region in
the tank. As soon as you reach the cold region, fill the tank with fuel that has a
low freezing temperature.
• When taking the vehicle to a cold region on a ferry, board the ferry with only a
minimal amount of fuel in the tank and then, after reaching the cold region, fill
the tank with fuel that has a low freezing temperature.
