2004 MATRIX from Oct. ’03 Prod. (OM12861U)

Drive gently and avoid high speeds.

Your vehicle does not need an elaborate

break

−

in. But following a few simple tips

for the first 1600 km (1000 miles) can add

to the future economy and long life of

your vehicle:

Avoid full throttle acceleration when

starting and driving.

Avoid racing the engine.

Try to avoid hard stops during the first
300 km (200 miles).

Do not drive slowly with the manual

transmission in a high gear.

Do not drive for a long time at any

single speed, either fast or slow.

Do not tow a trailer during the first 800

km (500 miles).

FUEL TYPE
Your new vehicle must use only un-

leaded gasoline.

To help prevent gas station mix

−

ups, your

Toyota 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.
At a minimum, the gasoline you use

should meet the specifications of ASTM
D4814 in the U.S.A. and CGSB 3.5

−

M93

in Canada.

NOTICE

Do not use leaded gasoline. Use of
leaded gasoline will cause the three

−

way catalytic converter to lose its ef-

fectiveness and the emission control
system to function improperly. Also,

this can increase maintenance costs.

OCTANE RATING
1ZZ

−

FE engine—

Select Octane Rating 87 (Research Oc-
tane Number 91) or higher.
2ZZ

−

GE engine—

Select premium unleaded gasoline with

an Octane Rating of 91 (Research Oc-

tane Number 96) or higher for optimum
engine performance.

Use of unleaded gasoline with an octane

rating or research octane number lower
than stated above will cause persistent

heavy knocking. If it is severe, this will

lead to engine damage.

If your engine knocks...

If you detect heavy knocking even when
using the recommended fuel, or if you

hear steady knocking while holding a
steady speed on level roads, consult your

Toyota dealer.
However, occasionally, you may notice
light knocking for a short time while accel-

erating or driving up hills. This is normal

and there is no need for concern.
