Toyota does not recommend gasoline containing MMT
Some gasoline contains octane enhancing additive called MMT
(Methylcyclopentadienyl Manganese 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.

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

Other gasohol may cause fuel system damage or vehicle performance
problems.

If after using a different type of fuel, poor driveability is encountered (poor
hot starting, vaporization, engine knocking, etc.), discontinue the use of that
