Break−in period
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:
D
Do not drive over 88 km/h (55 mph).
D
Do not run the engine over 4000 rpm.
Maintain engine speed between 2000
and 4000 rpm.
D
Avoid full − throttle starts.
D
Try to avoid hard stops during the first
300 km (200 miles).
D
Do not drive slowly with the manual
transmission in a high gear.
D
Do not drive for a long time at any
single speed, either fast or slow.
Fuel
FUEL TYPE
Your new vehicle must use only un-
leaded gasoline.
To help prevent gas station mixups, your
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.
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.
