NOTICE
■
Notice on fuel quality (gasoline engine)
●
Do not use improper fuels. If improper fuels are used, the engine will be
damaged.
●
Gasoline engine: Do not use leaded gasoline.
Leaded gasoline will cause the three-way catalytic converter to lose its
effectiveness and the emission control system to function improperly.
■
Notice on fuel quality (diesel engine)
●
Do not use a fuel that contains more than 500 ppm of sulfur.
Use of such a high sulfur fuel may damage the engine.
●
FAME (Fatty Acid Methyl Ester) fuel sold under names such as “B30” or
“B100” and fuel containing a large amount of FAME should not be used.
Your vehicle can use diesel mixed with 5% max biodiesel FAME (B5).
The use of fuel with more than 5% FAME content (B5) will damage the
vehicle’s fuel system. You must ensure that refueling is carried out only
from a source where fuel specification and quality can be guaranteed. In
case of any doubt, ask your Toyota dealer.
