vated.
Turn the “ENGINE START STOP” switch to ACCESSORY mode
or turn it off.
Restart the engine.NOTICE■
Before starting the engine
Inspect the ground under the vehicle.
If you find that fuel has leaked onto the ground, the fuel system has been damaged
and is in need of repair. Do not restart the engine.To minimize the risk of fuel leakage when the engine stalls or when an air-
bag inflates upon collision, the fuel pump shut off system stops the supply of
fuel to the engine. STEP 1

8186-1. Specifications
Fuel information ■
Fuel tank opening for unleaded gasoline
To help prevent incorrect fueling, your Lexus has a fuel tank opening that only
accommodates the special nozzle on unleaded fuel pumps.■
If your engine knocks ●
Consult your Lexus 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.■
Gasoline quality
In very few cases, driveability problems 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 Lexus dealer.■
Gasoline quality standards ●
Automotive manufacturers in the US, Europe and Japan have developed a
specification for fuel quality called the World-Wide Fuel Charter (WWFC) that
is expected to be applied worldwide.●
The WWFC consists of four categories that are based on required emission
levels. In the US, category 4 has been adopted.●
The WWFC improves air quality by lowering emissions in vehicle fleets, and
customer satisfaction th rough better performance.You must only use unleaded gasoline in your vehicle.
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
knocking. Persistent knocking can lead to engine damage.
At minimum, the gasoline you us e should meet the specifications of
ASTM D4814 in the U.S.A. an d CGSB3.5-M93 in Canada.

Vehicle specifications ■
Lexus recommends the use of gasoline containing detergent additives ●
Lexus recommends the use of gasoline that contains detergent additives to
avoid build-up of engine deposits.●
All gasoline sold in the U.S.A. contains minimum detergent additives to clean
and/or keep clean intake systems, per EPA’s lowest additives concentration pro-
gram.●
Lexus strongly recommends the use of Top Tier Detergent Gasoline. For more
information on Top Tier Detergent Gasoline and a list of marketers, please go to
the official website www.toptiergas.com.■
Lexus recommends the use of cleaner burning gasoline
Cleaner burning gasoline, including reform ulated gasoline that contains oxygen-
ates such as ethanol or MTBE (Methyl Te rtiary Butyl Ether) is available in many
areas.
Lexus recommends the use of cleaner burning gasoline and appropriately blended
reformulated gasoline. These types of gasoline provide excellent vehicle perfor-
mance, reduce vehicle emissions and improve air quality.■
Lexus does not recommend blended gasoline
●
If you use gasohol in your Lexus, be sure that it has an octane rating no lower
than 87.

examples of fuel containing more than
15% ethanol).DO NOT use gasoline contain-
