Oil viscosity

● The 0W portion of the oil viscosity rating indicates the characteristic

of the oil which allows cold startability. Oils with a lower value before

the W allow for easier starting of the engine in cold weather.

● The 20 in 0W-20 indicates the oil viscosity when the oil is at its oper-

ating temperature. An oil with a higher viscosity may be better suited

if the vehicle is operated at high speeds, or under extreme load con-

ditions.

Fuel information

You must only use unleaded gasoline in your vehicle.

Unleaded gasoline with an Octane Rating of 87 (Research Octane

Number 91) or higher is required for optimum engine performance.

At minimum, the gasoline you use should meet the specifications

of ASTM D4814 in the U.S.A. and CGSB3.5-M93 in Canada.

■Fuel tank opening for unleaded gasoline

To help prevent incorrect fueling, your Toyota has a fuel tank opening that

only accommodates the special nozzle on unleaded fuel pumps.

■If your engine knocks

●Consult your Toyota dealer.

●You may occasionally notice light knocking for a short time while acceler-

ating or driving uphill. This is normal and there is no need for concern.

■Gasoline quality

In very few cases, driveability problems may be caused by the brand of gas-

oline you are using. If driveability problems persist, try changing the brand of

gasoline. If this does not correct the problem, consult your Toyota dealer.

■Gasoline quality standards

●Automotive manufacturers in the U.S., the Europe and Japan have

developed a specification for fuel quality called World-Wide Fuel Charter

(WWFC) that is expected to be applied worldwide.

●The WWFC consists of four categories that are based on required emis-

sion levels. In the U.S., category 4 has been adopted.

●The WWFC improves air quality by lowering emissions in vehicle fleets,

and improves customer satisfaction through better performance.

428

6-1. Specifications

■Toyota recommends the use of gasoline containing detergent additives

●Toyota recommends the use of gasoline that contains detergent additives

to avoid build-up of engine deposits.

●All gasoline sold in the U.S. contains detergent additives to clean and/or

keep clean intake systems.

■Toyota recommends the use of cleaner burning gasoline

Cleaner burning gasoline, including reformulated gasoline that contains oxy-

genates such as ethanol or MTBE (Methyl Tertiary Butyl Ether) is available in

many areas.

Toyota recommends the use of cleaner burning gasoline and appropriately

blended reformulated gasoline. These types of gasoline provide excellent

vehicle performance, reduce vehicle emissions and improve air quality.

■Toyota does not recommend blended gasoline

●Toyota allows the use of oxygenate blended gasoline where the oxygen-

ate content is up to 10% ethanol or 15% MTBE.

●If you use gasohol in your Toyota, be sure that it has an octane rating no

lower than 87.

●Toyota does not recommend the use of gasoline containing methanol.

■Toyota does not recommend gasoline containing MMT

Some gasoline contains octane enhancing additive called MMT (Methylcy-

clopentadienyl Manganese Tricarbonyl).

Toyota does not recommend the use of gasoline that contains MMT. If fuel

containing MMT is used, your emission control system may be adversely

affected.

6

The malfunction indicator lamp on the instrument cluster may come on. If

this happens, contact your Toyota dealer for service.

429

6-1. Specifications

NOTICE

■Notice on gasoline quality

●Do not use leaded gasoline.

Leaded gasoline can cause damage to your vehicle’s catalytic converters

causing the emission control system to malfunction.

●Do not use gasohol other than that stated here.

Other gasohol may cause fuel system damage or vehicle performance

problems.

■Fuel-related poor driveability

If after using a different type of fuel, poor driveability is encountered (poor

hot starting, vaporization, engine knocking, etc.), discontinue the use of that

type of fuel.

■When refueling with gasohol

Take care not to spill gasohol. It can damage your vehicle's paint.

Tire ply composition and materials

Plies are layers of rubber-coated parallel cords. Cords are the

strands which form the plies in a tire.

Radial tires or bias-ply tires

A radial tire has “RADIAL” on the sidewall. A tire not marked

“RADIAL” is a bias-ply tire.

TUBELESS or TUBE TYPE

A tubeless tire does not have a tube and air is directly filled in the

tire. A tube type tire has a tube inside the tire and the tube main-

tains the air pressure.

(P. 330)

An all season tire has “M+S” on the sidewall. A tire not marked

“M+S” is a summer tire.

“TEMPORARY USE ONLY”

(P. 395)

A compact spare tire is identified by the phrase “TEMPORARY USE

ONLY” molded into its sidewall. This tire is designed for temporary

emergency use only.

Uniform Tire Quality Grading

This information has been prepared in accordance with regulations

issued by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration of the

U.S.A. Department of Transportation.

It provides the purchasers and/or prospective purchasers of Toyota

vehicles with information on uniform tire quality grading.

Your Toyota dealer will help answer any questions you may have as

you read this information.

6

■ DOT quality grades

All passenger vehicle tires must conform to Federal Safety

Requirements in addition to these grades. Quality grades can be

found where applicable on the tire sidewall between tread shoulder

and maximum section width.

For example: Treadwear 200 Traction AA Temperature A

435

6-1. Specifications

■ Treadwear

The treadwear grade is a comparative rating based on the wear

rate of the tire when tested under controlled conditions on a speci-

fied government test course.

For example, a tire graded 150 would wear one and a half (1-1/2)

times as well on the government course as a tire graded 100.

The relative performance of tires depends upon the actual conditions

of their use, however, and may depart significantly from the norm due

to variations in driving habits, service practices and differences in

road characteristics and climate.

■ Traction AA, A, B, C

The traction grades, from highest to lowest, are AA, A, B and C,

and they represent the tire's ability to stop on wet pavement as

measured under controlled conditions on specified government

test surfaces of asphalt and concrete.

A tire marked C may have poor traction performance.

Warning: The traction grade assigned to this tire is based on braking

(straight ahead) traction tests and does not include cornering (turn-

ing) traction.

■ Temperature A, B, C

The temperature grades are A (the highest), B, and C, represent-

ing the tire's resistance to the generation of heat and its ability to

dissipate heat when tested under controlled conditions on a speci-

fied indoor laboratory test wheel.

Sustained high temperature can cause the material of the tire to

degenerate and reduce tire life, and excessive temperature can lead

to sudden tire failure.

The grade C corresponds to a level of performance which all passen-

ger car tires must meet under the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Stan-

dard No. 109.

Grades B and A represent higher levels of performance on the labo-

ratory test wheel than the minimum required by law.

436

6-1. Specifications

Warning: The temperature grades for this tire are established for a

tire that is properly inflated and not overloaded.

Excessive speed, underinflation, or excessive loading, either sepa-

rately or in combination, can cause heat buildup and possible tire fail-

ure.
