Types of tires
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:
Do not drive over 88 km/h (55 mph).
Do not run the engine over 4000 rpm. Maintain engine speed between 2000 and 4000 rpm.
Avoid full-throttle starts.
Try to avoid hard stops during the first
300 km (200 miles).
Do not drive slowly with the manual
transmission in a high gear.
Do not drive for a long time at any
single speed, either fast or slow. 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 un-
leaded fuel will fit it, but the larger stan-
dard nozzle on pumps with leaded gas will
not.
NOTICE
Do not use leaded gasoline. Use of leaded gasoline will cause the
three-way catalytic converter tolose its effectiveness and the emission control system tofunction improperly. Also, this can increase maintenance costs.
OCTANE NUMBER
Select premium unleaded gasoline
with a Research Octane Number of 96
(Octane Rating 91) or higher for opti-
mum engine performance. However, if
such premium type cannot be ob-
tained, you may temporarily use un-
leaded gasoline with an octane num-ber as low as 91 (Octane Rating 87).
Use of unleaded fuel with an octane num- ber or rating lower than stated above will
cause persistent heavy knocking. If se-
vere, this will lead to engine damage.

11 4
Do not drive with objects left on
top of the instrument panel. They
may interfere with the driver's field
of view. Or they may move during
sharp vehicle acceleration or turn-
ing, and impair the driver's control
of the vehicle. In an accident they
may injure the vehicle occupants.
NOTICE
Do not load the vehicle beyond
the vehicle capacity weight speci-
fied in Part 8.
If using a roof luggage carrier onsport roofs, avoid prolonged driv-
ing on rough roads with heavy items on the roof luggage carrier.
Some Toyotas are equipped with a limit-
ed-slip differential. If one rear wheel be-
gins to spin, the limited-slip differential is
designed to aid traction by automatically
transmitting driving force to the other rear
wheel. If you are not sure whether your
vehicle is equipped with one, you can ask
your Toyota dealer.
CAUTION!
Do not start or run the engine while your vehicle is supported by a jack.
The vehicle could be driven off the
jack and could pose a danger or re-
sult in serious injury.
Use only a spare tire of the same size, construction and load capacity
as the original tires on your Toyotabecause damage to the limited-slip differential could possibly occurwith another tire type.
NOTICE
The vehicle identification number (VIN)
is the legal identifier for your vehicle.
This number is on the left top of the in-
strument panel, and can be seen
through the windshield from outside.
The vehicle identification number (VIN) is
also on the Certification Label.
This is the primary identification number
for your T oyota. It is used in registering the
ownership of your vehicle.
