tracks lead to increased wear. This
wear is not covered by the war-
ranty. The vehicle is not conceived
for use in motor sports competi-
tions.
Before and after driving on a racing
track, have the vehicle checked at
any authorized Toyota retailer or
Toyota authorized repairer, or any
reliable repairer.This chapter describes all standard,
country-specific and special equip-
ment available for the model series.
It may therefore describe equip-
ment and functions which are not
installed in your vehicle, for exam-
ple on account of the optional
equipment selected or the country
specification. This also applies to
safety-relevant functions and sys-
tems. Please comply with the rele-
vant laws and regulations when
using the corresponding functions
and systems.
The vehicle possesses wide-rang-
ing technologies for reducing con-
sumption and emission levels.
Fuel consumption depends on vari-
ous factors.
A number of measures, such as a
moderate driving style and regular
maintenance, can influence fuel
consumption and reduce the bur-
den on the environment.

sumption.Saving fuel

Add-on parts on the vehicle inter-
fere with its aerodynamic perfor-
mance and increase fuel
consumption.
Open windows increase drag and
consequently fuel consumption.
Tyres can have differing effects on
consumption. For example, con-
sumption can be affected by tyre
size.
Check and, if necessary, correct the
tyre inflation pressures at least
twice a month and before setting off
on a longer journey.
Insufficient tyre inflation pressure
increases rolling resistance and
consequently fuel consumption and
tyre wear.
Do not warm up the engine with the
vehicle at a standstill; it is prefera-
ble to set off straight away, driving
at moderate engine speeds.This brings the cold engine up to
operating temperature as quickly as
possible.
Anticipating the road situation and
adopting a smooth driving style will
reduce fuel consumption.
Avoid accelerating and braking
unnecessarily.
Keep an appropriate distance from
the vehicle ahead.
Driving at low engine speeds
reduces fuel consumption and
wear.
Pay attention to the shift point indi-
cator, see page 160, in the vehicle,
if fitted.
When approaching a red traffic
light, take your foot off the accelera-
tor and allow the vehicle to roll.
On downward stretches, take your
foot off the accelerator and allow
the vehicle to roll.
The fuel supply is interrupted in
overrun mode. Remove add-on parts after
use

Supra Owner's Manual4-1. DRIVING HINTS
When you stop the vehicle for
longer periods, for example at traf-
fic lights, railway crossings or in
traffic jams, switch off the engine.
The Auto Start/Stop of the vehicle
shuts off the engine automatically
during a stop.
If the engine is switched off and
then started again, the fuel con-
sumption and emissions are
reduced compared with a perma-
nently running engine. Savings can
be made just by stopping the
engine for a few seconds.
Fuel consumption also depends on
other factors, such as driving style,
road condition, maintenance or
environmental factors, for example.
Functions such as seat heating or
rear window heating require a great
deal of energy and increase fuel
consumption, especially in city traf-
fic and stop-and-go traffic.
Switch these functions off if they
are not required.Have the vehicle serviced regularly
to achieve optimal economy and
lifetime. Toyota recommends hav-
ing maintenance work carried out
by Toyota. Switch off the engine if stop-
ping for longer periods

This chapter describes all standard,
country-specific and special equip-
ment available for the model series.
It may therefore describe equip-
ment and functions which are not
installed in your vehicle, for exam-
ple on account of the optional
equipment selected or the country
specification. This also applies to
safety-relevant functions and sys-
tems. Please comply with the rele-
vant laws and regulations when
using the corresponding functions
and systems.
Before refuelling, observe the notes
on fuel quality, see page 307.
When refuelling, insert the filler
nozzle fully into the filler neck. Lift-
ing the filler nozzle during refuelling
results in the following:
The fuel supply being cut off pre-
maturely.
Fuel vapour and fumes being
recovered less effectively.
The fuel tank is full when the filler
nozzle cuts out for the first time.
Please comply with the safety regu-
lations displayed at filling stations.1Briefly press the rear edge of
the fuel filler flap.

Safety notes
NOTICE
If the range drops below 50 km, 30
miles, the engine may no longer be
supplied with sufficient fuel. Engine
function is no longer ensured. There
is a danger of damage to property.
Refuel in good time.
NOTICE
Fuels are poisonous and aggressive.
Overfilling the fuel tank can damage
the fuel system. If fuel comes into
contact with paintwork, it can damage
them. This pollutes the environment.
There is a danger of damage to prop-
erty. Avoid overfilling.

WARNING
The retaining strap of the fuel tank
cap may become trapped and
crushed when turning the cap to close
it. It will then not be possible to close
the cap properly. Fuel or fuel vapours
can leak out. There is a danger of
injury or damage to property. Make

• Lifetime of the tyre.
• Driving safety.
• Driving comfort.
• Fuel consumption.The tyre inflation pressures are
shown on the door pillar of the
driver's door.
The tyre inflation pressure data
applies to the tyre sizes and recom-
mended tyre makes which have
been classified by the vehicle man-
ufacturer as suitable for the respec-
tive vehicle type.
If the tyre's speed code cannot be
found, then the tyre inflation pres-
sure for the corresponding tyre size
applies.

WARNING
A tyre with too little or no tyre inflation
pressure can heat up significantly and
sustain damage. Driving properties,
for example steering and braking, will
be impaired as a result. There is a
danger of accidents. Check the tyre

Allow the bonnet to drop from a
height of approximately 50 cm, 20
in.
The bonnet must engage on both

Depending on the region, many fill-
ing stations sell fuel that is adapted
to winter or summer conditions.
Fuel that is sold in winter facilitates
cold starting, for example.
For optimal fuel consumption, the
petrol should be sulphur-free or low
in sulphur content.
Fuels labelled on the pump as con-
taining metal must not be used. ClosingService products

You can fill up with fuels with a
maximum ethanol content of 25 %,
for example E10 or E25.
The engine has knock control. This
means that different petrol grades
can be used.
Super, RON 95.
Unleaded petrol, RON 91.
Engine oil consumption depends on
the driving style and operating con-
ditions.
Therefore check the engine oil level
regularly each time you fill up with
fuel by taking a detailed measure-
ment.
Engine oil consumption can be
increased, for example in the fol-
lowing situations:
• Dynamic driving style.
• Running in the engine. Safety notes
NOTICE
Even small quantities of the wrong
fuel or wrong fuel additives can dam-
age the fuel system and engine. In
addition, the catalytic converter will be
permanently damaged. There is a
danger of damage to property. Do not
use the following fuel or additives with
petrol engines:
• Leaded petrol.
After filling the wrong fuel, do not
press the start/stop button. Contact
any authorized Toyota retailer or
Toyota authorized repairer, or any reli-
able repairer.
• Metallic additives, for example
manganese or iron.
NOTICE
Incorrect fuels can damage the fuel
system and engine. There is a danger
of damage to property. Do not refuel
with fuel with a higher ethanol content
than recommended. Do not refuel
with fuel containing methanol, for
example M5 to M100.
NOTICE
Fuel below the specified minimum
quality can adversely affect engine
function or lead to engine damage.
There is a danger of damage to prop-
erty. Do not refuel with petrol below
the specified minimum quality.
