When driving off−road or in rugged
D
terrain, do not drive at excessive
speeds, jump, make sharp turns,
strike objects, etc. This may cause
loss of control or vehicle rollover
causing death or serious injury. You
are also risking expensive damage
to your vehicle's suspension and
chassis.
Do not drive horizontally across
D
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 1000 km (600 miles) can add
to the future economy and long life of
your vehicle:
Avoid full throttle acceleration when
D
starting and driving.
Avoid racing the engine.
D
Try to avoid hard stops during the first
D
300 km (200 miles).
Do not drive slowly with the manual
D
transmission in a high gear.
Do not drive for a long time at any
D
single speed, either fast or slow.
Do not tow a trailer during the first 800
D
km (500 miles).

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.
FUEL TYPE
Gasoline engine—
Use only unleaded gasoline.
To help prevent gas station mix−ups, your
vehicle 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.
