INFORMATION
BEFORE DRIVING

break−in. But following a few simple tips
for the first 1600 km (1000 miles) can add

your vehicle:

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.
