2-3. Door and Locks
Your vehicle is equipped with an inside trunk release lever that pro-
vides a means of escape for child ren and adults in the event they
become locked inside the trunk.
No matter how careful adults mi ght be with keys and locking the ir
cars, parents should be aware that children may be tempted to p lay
around vehicles and use the trunk as a hiding place.
Adults are advised to familiariz e themselves with the operation and
location of the inside trunk release lever so that all children can be told
about it in an appropriate way, keeping in mind that most vehic les do
not have such levers.
■Opening the Trunk Lid from the Inside
Slide the inside trunk release
lever in the direction of the
arrow. The lever is made of
material that will glow for hours
in the darkness of the trunk fol-
lowing a brief exposure to ambi-
ent light.
The inside trunk release lever is
located on the inside of the trunk
lid.
Inside Trunk Release Lever
WARNING
■ Close the trunk lid, be sure the seat backs are latched and do not allow
children to play inside the vehicle
Leaving the trunk lid open or leaving children in the vehicle w ith the keys is
dangerous. Children could open the trunk lid and climb inside r esulting in
possible injury or death from heat exposure.
■ Always keep the car from being a tempting place to play by latc hing
the rear seats, doors and the tr unk, and keeping the keys where chil-
dren can not play with them
Leaving children or animals unattended in a parked vehicle is d angerous.
Babies left sleeping and children who lock themselves in cars o r trunks can
die very quickly from heat prostration. Do not leave your child ren or pets
alone in a car at any time. Do not leave the car, the rear fold ing seats or the
trunk unlocked.

Before Driving
Fuel and Engine Exhaust Precautions
Vehicles with catalytic converters or oxygen sensors must use O NLY
UNLEADED FUEL, which will reduc e exhaust emissions and keep
spark plug fouling to a minimum.
This vehicle will perform best with fuel listed in the table.
*: U.S. federal law requires that octane ratings be posted on gas oline station
pumps.
Fuel with a rating lower than 87 octane (91 RON) could cause th e
emission control system to lose e ffectiveness. It could also cause
engine knocking and s erious engine damage.
Gasoline blended with oxygenates such as alcohol or ether com-
pounds are generally referred to as oxygenated fuels. The commo n
gasoline blend that can be used with your vehicle is ethanol bl ended
at no more than 10 %. Gasoline containing alcohol, such as etha nol or
methanol, may be marketed under the name “Gasohol”.
Vehicle damage and drivability problems resulting from the use of the
following may not be co vered by the warranty.
• Gasohol containing m ore than 10 % ethanol.
• Gasoline or gasohol containing methanol.
• Leaded fuel or leaded gasohol.
Fuel Requirements
FuelOctane Rating* (Anti-knock index)
Regular unleaded fuel87 [(R M)/2 method] or above (91 RON or above)
NOTICE
●USE ONLY UNLEADED FUEL.
Leaded fuel is harmful to the catalytic converter and oxygen se nsors and
will lead to deterioration of the emission control system and o r failures.
● This vehicle can only use oxygenated fuels containing no more t han 10 %
ethanol by volume. Damage to the vehicle may occur when ethanol
exceeds this recommendation, or if the gasoline contains any me thanol.
Stop using gasohol of any kind if your vehicle engine is performing poorly.
● Never add fuel system additives, otherwise the emission control system
could be damaged. Consult your Toyota dealer for details.

2-4. Fuel and Emission
This vehicle is equipped with an emission control system (the catalytic
converter is part of this system) that enables the vehicle to c omply
with existing exhaust emissions requirements.
●Under U.S. federal law, any modification to the original-equipm ent emission
control system before the first sale and registration of a vehi cle is subject to
penalties. In some states, such modification made on a used veh icle is also
subject to penalties.
● While the engine is off, the sound of a valve opening and closi ng can be
heard at the rear of the vehicle, however this does not indicat e an abnormal-
ity. The vehicle has a selfchecking device and it operates whil e the engine is
off.
Emission Control System
WARNING
■ Never park over or near anything flammable
Parking over or near anything flammable, such as dry grass, is dangerous.
Even with the engine turned off, the exhaust system remains very hot after
normal use and could ignite anything flammable. A resulting fir e could
cause serious injury or death.
NOTICE
Ignoring the following precautions could cause lead to accumula te on the
catalyst inside the converter or cause the converter to get ver y hot. Either
condition will damage the converter and cause poor performance.
● USE ONLY UNLEADED FUEL.
● Do not drive your Toyota with any sign of engine malfunction.
● Do not coast with the ignition switched off.
● Do not descend steep grades in gear with the ignition switched off.
● Do not operate the engine at high idle for more than 2 minutes.
● Do not tamper with the emission control system. All inspections and
adjustments must be made by a qualified technician.
● Do not push-start or pull-start your vehicle.

Before Driving
Engine Exhaust (Carbon monoxide)
WARNING
■Do not drive your vehicle if you smell exhaust gas inside the v ehicle
Engine exhaust gas is dangerous. This gas contains carbon monox ide
(CO), which is colorless, odorless, and poisonous. When inhaled , it can
cause loss of consciousness and death. If you smell exhaust gas inside the
vehicle, keep all windows fully open and contact your Toyota de aler immedi-
ately.
■ Do not run the engine when inside an enclosed area
Running the engine inside an enclosed area, such as a garage, i s danger-
ous. Exhaust gas, which contains poisonous carbon monoxide, cou ld easily
enter the cabin. Loss of consciousness or even death could occu r.
■ Open the windows or adjust the heating or cooling system to draw
fresh air when idling the engine:
Exhaust gas is dangerous. When the vehicle is stopped with the windows
closed and the engine running for a long time even in an open a rea,
exhaust gas, which contains poisonous carbon monoxide, could en ter the
cabin. Loss of consciousness or even death could occur.
■ Clear snow from underneath and around your vehicle, particularl y the
tail pipe, before starting the engine:
Running the engine when a vehicle is stopped in deep snow is da ngerous.
The exhaust pipe could be blocked by the snow, allowing exhaust gas to
enter the cabin. Because exhaust gas contains poisonous carbon monox-
ide, it could cause loss of consciousness or even death to occu pants in the
cabin.

2-4. Fuel and Emission
Fuel-Filler Lid and Cap
WARNING
■When removing the fuel-filler cap, loosen the cap slightly and wait for
any hissing to stop, then remove it
Fuel spray is dangerous. Fuel can burn skin and eyes and cause illness if
ingested. Fuel spray is released when there is pressure in the fuel tank and
the fuel-filler cap is removed too quickly.
■ Before refueling, stop the engine, and always keep sparks and f lames
away from the filler neck
Fuel vapor is dangerous. It could be ignited by sparks or flame s causing
serious burns and injuries.
Additionally, use of the incorrect fuel-filler cap or not using a fuel-filler cap
may result in a fuel leak, which could result in serious burns or death in an
accident.
■ Do not continue refueling after the fuel pump nozzle shuts off automat-
ically
Continuing to add fuel after the fuel pump nozzle has shut off automatically
is dangerous because overfilling the fuel tank may cause fuel o verflow or
leakage. Fuel overflow and leakage could damage the vehicle and if the fuel
ignites it could cause a fire and explosion resulting in serious injury or
death.
NOTICE
Always use only a genuine Toyota fuel-filler cap or an approved equivalent,
available at your Toyota dealer. The wrong cap can result in a serious mal-
function of the fuel and emission control systems.
It may also cause the check engine light in the combination met er to illumi-
nate.
