CAUTION
When refueling the vehicle
Observe the following precautions while refueling the vehicle. Failure to do
so may result in death or serious injury.
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 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 inhale vaporized fuel.
Fuel contains substances that are harmful if inhaled.

YARIS_F (including HV)_WE_52C79E
Fuel tank opening for unleaded gasoline (gasoline engine)
To help prevent incorrect fueling, your vehicle has a fuel tank opening that
only accommodates the special nozzle on unleaded fuel pumps.
If you plan to drive in foreign countries (diesel engine)
Low sulfur diesel fuel may not be available, so please check the availability
with your distributor.
If your engine knocks
Consult any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly quali-
fied and equipped professional.
You may occasionally notice light knocking for a short time while acceler-
ating or driving uphill. This is normal and there is no need for concern.
NOTICE
Notice on fuel quality (gasoline engine)
Do not use improper fuels. If improper fuels are used, the engine will be
damaged.
Do not use leaded gasoline.
Leaded gasoline will cause the three-way catalytic converter to lose its
effectiveness and the emission control system to function improperly.
EU area: Bioethanol fuel sold under names such as “E50” or “E85” and
fuel containing a large amount of ethanol should not be used. The use of
these fuels will damage the vehicle’s fuel system. In case of any doubt,
ask any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and
equipped professional.
Except EU area: Bioethanol fuel sold under names such as “E50” or “E85”
and fuel containing a large amount of ethanol should not be used. Your
vehicle can use gasoline mixed with 10% max ethanol. The use of fuel
with more than 10% ethanol content (E10) will damage the vehicle’s fuel
system. You must ensure that refueling is carried out only from a source
where fuel specification and quality can be guaranteed. In case of any
doubt, ask any authorized Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly quali-
fied and equipped professional.
