7-2. Steps to take in an emergency

Stop the hybrid system. Set
the parking brake and shift
the shift lever to P.

Remove the mud, snow or
sand from around the rear
wheels.

Place wood, stones or some
other material under the rear
wheels to help provide trac-
tion.

Restart the hybrid system.

Shift the shift lever to D or R
and release the parking
brake. Then, while exercising
caution, depress the acceler-
ator pedal.

When it is difficult to free the

vehicle

Try the followings.

●

Turn off the TRAC

: If equipped

If the vehicle becomes

stuck

Carry out the following pro-
cedures if the tires spin or
the vehicle becomes stuck
in mud, dirt or snow:

Recovering procedure

WARNING

■

When attempting to free a

stuck vehicle

If you choose to push the vehicle

back and forth to free it, make

sure the surrounding area is clear

to avoid striking other vehicles,

objects or people. The vehicle

may also lunge forward or lunge

back suddenly as it becomes free.

Use extreme caution.

■

When shifting the shift lever

Be careful not to shift the shift

lever with the accelerator pedal

depressed.

This may lead to unexpected

rapid acceleration of the vehicle

that may cause an accident

resulting in death or serious injury.

NOTICE

■

To avoid damaging the trans-

mission and other compo-

nents

●

Avoid spinning the rear wheels

and depressing the accelerator

pedal more than necessary.

●

If the vehicle remains stuck

even after these procedures are

performed, the vehicle may

require towing to be freed.

Engine oil selection

“Toyota Genuine Motor Oil” is
used in your Toyota vehicle. Use
Toyota approved “Toyota Genu-
ine Motor Oil” or equivalent to
satisfy the following grade and
viscosity.
Oil grade:

ILSAC GF-6A multigrade engine
oil
Recommended viscosity: SAE
0W-20

Outside temperature

SAE 0W-20 is the best choice
for good fuel economy and good
starting in cold weather.
If SAE 0W-20 is not available,
SAE 5W-20 oil may be used.
However, it must be replaced
with SAE 0W-20 at the next oil
change.

Oil viscosity (0W-20 is explained
here as an example):
• The 0W in 0W-20 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

viscosity characteristic of the
oil when the oil is at high tem-
perature.

How to read oil container label:
The International Lubricant

Specification Advisory Commit-
tee (ILSAC) Certification Mark is
added to some oil containers to
help you select the oil you
should use.

■

Gasoline quality

In very few cases, driveability prob-

lems may be caused by the brand of

gasoline you are using. If driveability

problems persist, try changing the

brand of gasoline. If this does not

correct the problem, consult your

Toyota dealer.

■

Recommendation of 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.A. con-

tains minimum detergent additives

to clean and/or keep clean intake

systems, per EPA’s lowest addi-

tives concentration program.

●

Toyota strongly recommends the

use of Top Tier Detergent Gaso-

line. For more information on Top

Tier Detergent Gasoline and a list

of marketers, please go to the offi-

cial website www.toptiergas.com.

■

Recommendation of the use of

low emissions gasoline

Gasolines containing oxygenates

such as ethers and ethanol, as well

as reformulated gasolines, are avail-

able in some cities. These fuels are

typically acceptable for use, provid-

ing they meet other fuel require-

ments.
Toyota recommends these fuels,

since the formulations allow for

reduced vehicle emissions.

■

Non-recommendation of the

use of blended gasoline

●

Use only gasoline containing up to
15% ethanol.
DO NOT use any flex-fuel or gas-
oline that could contain more than
15% ethanol, including from any
pump labeled E30 (30% ethanol

), E50 (50% ethanol

), E85

(85% ethanol

) (which are only

some examples of fuel containing
more than 15% ethanol).

●

If you use gasohol in your vehicle,

be sure that it has an octane rat-

ing no lower than 87.

●

Toyota does not recommend the

use of gasoline containing metha-

nol.

Fuel information

You must only use unleaded
gasoline.
Select octane rating 87
(Research Octane Number
91) or higher. Use of
unleaded gasoline with an
octane rating lower than 87
may result in engine knock-
ing. Persistent knocking
can lead to engine damage.

At minimum, the gasoline you
use should meet the specifi-
cations of ASTM D4814 in the
U.S.A.

559

8-1. Specifications

Vehicle

specifications

■

Non-recommendation of the

use of gasoline containing MMT

Some gasoline contains an octane

enhancing additive called MMT

(Methylcyclopentadienyl Manga-

nese 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.
The malfunction indicator lamp on

the instrument cluster may come on.

If this happens, contact your Toyota

dealer for service.

■

If your engine knocks

●

Consult your Toyota dealer.

●

You may occasionally notice light

knocking for a short time while

accelerating or driving uphill. This

is normal and there is no need for

concern.

NOTICE

■

Notice on fuel quality

●

Do not use improper fuels. If

improper fuels are used, the

engine will be damaged.

●

Do not use leaded gasoline.

Leaded gasoline can cause

damage to your vehicle’s three-

way catalytic converters caus-

ing the emission control system

to malfunction.

●

Do not use gasohol other than

the type previously stated.

Other gasohol may cause fuel

system damage or vehicle per-

formance problems.

●

Using unleaded gasoline with

an octane number or rating

lower than the level previously

stated will cause persistent

heavy knocking.

At worst, this will lead to engine

damage.

■

Fuel-related poor driveability

If poor driveability (poor hot start-

ing, vaporization, engine knock-

ing, etc.) is encountered after

using a different type of fuel, dis-

continue the use of that type of

fuel.

■

When refueling with gasohol

Take care not to spill gasohol. It

can damage your vehicle’s paint.
