89 1-5. Refueling
1
Before driving
CAUTION
Refueling the vehicle
Observe the following precautions while refueling the vehicle.
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
Do not handle fuel indoors.
After exiting the vehicle and before opening the fuel door, touch an
unpainted metal surface to discharge any static electricity. It is important to
discharge static electricity before refueling because sparks resulting from
static electricity can cause fuel vapors to ignite while refueling.
Always hold the grips on the fuel tank cap and turn it slowly to remove it.
A whooshing sound may be heard when the fuel tank cap is loosened.
Wait until the sound cannot be heard before fully removing the cap.
In hot weather, pressurized fuel may spray out of the filler neck and cause
injury.
Do not allow anyone that has not discharged static electricity from their
body to come close to an open fuel tank.
Do not allow others to approach the area of the vehicle near the fuel filler
pipe while refueling is in progress.
Do not inhale vaporized fuel.
Fuel contains substances that are harmful if inhaled.
Do not smoke while refueling the vehicle.
Doing so may cause the fuel to ignite and cause a fire.
Do not return to the vehicle or touch any person or object that is statically
charged.
This may cause static electricity to build up, resulting in a possible ignition
hazard.

90 1-5. Refueling
CAUTION
When refueling
Observe the following precautions to prevent fuel overflowing from the fuel
tank:
Securely insert the fuel nozzle into the fuel filler neck.
Stop filling the tank after the fuel nozzle automatically clicks off.
Do not top off the fuel tank.
Observe other precautions that are posted at the service station.
Turn the cap to the right until it clicks to ensure that it is fully tightened. If
the cap is not securely tightened, fuel spillage could occur in the event of
an accident, creating a fire hazard.
When replacing the fuel cap
Do not use anything but a genuine Toyota fuel tank cap designed for your
vehicle. Doing so may cause a fire or other incident which may result in
death or serious injury.
NOTICE
Refueling
Do not spill fuel during refueling.
Doing so may damage the vehicle, such as causing the emission control
system to operate abnormally or damaging fuel system components or the
vehicle's painted surface.
Never add any cleaning agents to the fuel tank. The addition of a cleaning
agent may cause damage to the fuel system.
Immediately put fuel in the tank whenever the low fuel warning light illumi-
nates. Engine misfires as a result of an empty tank could cause damage to
the engine.

159 2-1. Driving procedures

When driving
New vehicle break-in driving (the first 1600 km [1000 miles])
The performance and long life of your vehicle are dependent on how you
handle and care for your vehicle while it is new. Follow these instructions
during the first 1600 km (1000 miles):
Do not allow the engine speed to exceed 4000 rpm except in an emer-
gency.
Do not drive at one constant engine or vehicle speed for a long time,
either fast or slow.
Avoid starting suddenly and rapid acceleration, except in an emergency.
Avoid hard braking, except in an emergency.
The same break-in procedures should be applied to an overhauled
engine, newly mounted engine or when brake pads or brake linings are
replaced with new ones.
Drum-in-disc type parking brake system
Your vehicle has a drum-in-disc type parking brake system. This type of
brake system needs bedding-down of the brake shoes periodically or when-
ever the parking brake shoes and/or drum are replaced. Have any autho-
rized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped
professional perform the bedding down.
After the engine starts
In order to secure a rich exhaust sound when starting the vehicle and envi-
ronmental performance, air intake and exhaust sounds become loud and
vibrations may increase for a little while after the engine starts. This is not a
malfunction.
Operating your vehicle in a foreign country
Comply with the relevant vehicle registration laws and confirm the availability
of the correct fuel. (P. 435)

184 2-1. Driving procedures
Manual mode driving
To enter manual mode, shift the shift lever to the M position.
When the Gear Shift Indicator is on, gears can be selected by operat-
ing the shift lever or paddle shift switches (if equipped), allowing you
to drive in the gear of your choosing.
The Gear Shift Indicator display is a guide to help the driver achieve
improved fuel economy and reduced exhaust emissions within limits
of engine performance.
Even if upshifting operations are performed, if vehicle speed is too low for
the requested gear, the gear will not change.
Upshift indicator
Downshift indicator
Upshifting (+)
Downshifting (-)
Each time the shift lever or pad-
dle shift switches are operated,
the gear changes up or down
one gear and the selected gear,
“1” through “6”, will be set.
The selected gear, from “1” to “6”,
and “M” will be displayed on the
shift position and shift range indi-
cator.
When in manual mode, the gear will not change unless the shift lever
or paddle shift switches are operated.
However, even when in manual mode, the gears will be automatically
changed in the following situations:
When vehicle speed drops (downshift only).
When engine oil temperature is high and engine speed rises close
to the red zone.

187 2-1. Driving procedures

When driving
AI-SHIFT
The AI-SHIFT automatically shifts the gear to the suitable position according
to the driver performance and driving conditions.
The AI-SHIFT automatically operates when the shift lever is in the D posi-
tion. (Operating the paddle shift switches or shifting the shift lever to the M
position cancels the function.)
CAUTION
When driving on slippery road surfaces
Be careful of downshifting and sudden acceleration, as this could result in
the vehicle skidding to the side or spinning.
To prevent incorrect operation
Do not attach items such as accessories to the paddle shift switches.
Doing so may unintentionally move the paddle shift switches.
Gear Shift Indicator
The indication of the gear shift indicator is only as a guideline for driving
more fuel-efficiently. The indicator does not inform the driver about the safe
shift operation timing. The driver has the responsibility for suitable shift oper-
ation depending on the traffic conditions or driving conditions (e.g., overtak-
ing or driving on an uphill slope).
This indicator supports the driver to drive more fuel-efficiently. The vehicle
system determines the shift operation timing depending on the driving condi-
tions, and informs the driver by the indicator on the combination meter. For
details, refer to Gear shift indicator.

When driving
Shift position indicator
The selected shift position will be
displayed on the multi-informa-
tion display.
The selected shift position will not
appear in the following situations:
• When the shift lever is in N.
• When the vehicle speed is 10
km/h (6 mph) or less (except
when the shift lever is in R).
• When the clutch pedal is
depressed.
Gear Shift Indicator
The Gear Shift Indicator display is a guide to help the driver achieve
improved fuel economy and reduced exhaust emissions within limits
of engine performance.
Upshift indicator
Downshift indicator
The Gear Shift Indicator cannot
be deactivated.
Gear Shift Indicator display
The Gear Shift Indicator may not be displayed when your foot is placed
on the clutch pedal.
The Gear Shift Indicator may operate to prevent a possible engine stall at
a low engine speed.

details, refer to Gear shift indicator.
Usually, the gear shift indicator is a guideline for driving more fuel-efficiently,
and it also may operate to prevent a possible stall at a low engine speed.
NOTICE
To prevent damage to the transmission
Do not lift up the ring section except when shifting the lever to R.
Shift the shift lever to R only when the vehicle is stationary and the clutch
pedal is fully depressed.
Do not shift the shift lever without
depressing the clutch pedal.
