Vehicle break-in
Fuel (petrol engine)
Drive sensibly and avoid high speeds.
Choosing the right fuel is essential to achieving
satisfactory engine performance.
Your vehicle does not need a thorough run-in, but for the
first 1000 km, follow a few simple tips that can contribute
to the economy and longevity of your vehicle.
Engine damage caused by the use of incorrect fuel is
excluded from the warranty conditions of Toyota vehicles.
• Avoid full throttle acceleration when starting
and driving.
TYPE OF FUEL
Use only unleaded petrol.
• Do not rev the engine.
For reasons of protection against refueling at a gas station,
your car is equipped with a narrower fuel tank neck. Only
a pump nozzle for unleaded gasoline can be inserted into
this nozzle, but a larger standard pump nozzle for leaded
gasoline cannot be inserted.
• Try not to stop suddenly during the first 300
km.
• Do not shift slowly to a higher gear in a
manual transmission.
• Do not drive for a long time at one speed,
slow or fast.
• Do not tow any trailer during the first 800 km.
NOTICE
u Do not use leaded petrol. After using leaded
gasoline, the three-way catalytic converter will
become ineffective and the emission control
system may malfunction and damage the engine.
It can also increase maintenance costs.
u Do not use unleaded gasoline developed for use
in a leaded gasoline engine. Using this type of
gasoline can cause engine damage. Before
refueling, ask the gas station attendant whether
or not the gasoline is formulated for use in a
leaded gasoline engine.
