If your engine knocks

●

Consult your Toyota dealer.

●

You may occasionally notice light knocking for a short time while acceler-
ating 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 performance
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 is encountered after using a different type of fuel (poor hot
starting, vaporization, engine knocking, etc.), discontinue the use of that type
of fuel.

■

When refueling with gasohol

Take care not to spill gasohol. It can damage your vehicle’s paint.
