WARNING

■

Replacing a flat tire

●

Do not touch the disc wheels or

the area around the brakes

immediately after the vehicle

has been driven. After the vehi-

cle has been driven the disc

wheels and the area around the

brakes will be extremely hot.

Touching these areas with

hands, feet or other body parts

while changing a tire, etc. may

result in burns.

●

Failure to follow these precau-

tions could cause the wheel

nuts to loosen and the tire to fall

off, resulting in death or serious

injury.

• Never use oil or grease on the

wheel bolts or wheel nuts.

Oil and grease may cause the

wheel nuts to be excessively

tightened, leading to bolt or disc

wheel damage. Remove any oil

or grease that has adhered

when installing the wheel nuts.

• After replacing a tire, check the

tightening torque as soon as

possible.

Wheel nut torque: 76 ft•lbf (103

N•m, 10.5 kgf•m)

421

7-2. Steps to take in an emergency

Whe

trouble

ises

Remove any dirt or foreign

matter from the wheel con-

tact surface.

If foreign matter is on the wheel

contact surface, the wheel nuts

may loosen while the vehicle is in

motion, causing the tire to come off.

Install the tire and loosely

tighten each wheel nut by

hand by approximately the

same amount.

When replacing a steel wheel with

a steel wheel, tighten the wheel

nuts until the tapered portion

comes into loose contact with the

disc wheel seat .

When replacing an aluminum wheel

with a steel wheel, tighten the

wheel nuts until the tapered portion

comes into loose contact with

the disc wheel seat .

WARNING

• Do not attach a heavily dam-

aged wheel ornament, as it may

fly off the wheel while the vehi-

cle is moving.

• When installing a tire, only use

wheel nuts that have been spe-

cifically designed for that wheel.

• If there are any cracks or defor-

mations in the bolt screws, nut

threads or bolt holes of the

wheel, have the vehicle

inspected by your Toyota

dealer.

• When installing the wheel nuts,

be sure to install them with the

tapered ends facing inward.

engine has cooled down suffi-

ciently. Adding cool coolant to a

hot engine too quickly can cause

damage to the engine.

■

To prevent damage to the

cooling system

Observe the following precau-

tions:

●

Avoid contaminating the coolant

with foreign matter (such as

sand or dust etc.).

●

Do not use any coolant additive.

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:

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 front 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: JASO GLV-1

Recommended viscosity: SAE

0W-8

Outside temperature

SAE 0W-8 is the best choice for
good fuel economy and good
starting in cold weather.

If SAE 0W-8 is not available,
SAE 0W-16 oil may be used.
However, it must be replaced
with SAE 0W-8 at the next oil
change.

Oil viscosity (0W-8 is explained
here as an example):
• The 0W in 0W-8 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 8 in 0W-8 indicates the

■

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 the 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.

■

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

Fuel information

You must only use unleaded
gasoline.
Select octane rating of 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 specifica-
tions of ASTM D4814 in the
U.S.A.

■

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

causing 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.
