Vehicle Service Agreements
By covering the cost of repairs that are no longer covered by
warranty, a vehicle service agreement protects you from unex-
pected repair costs down the road. Many service agreements
also cover services such as towing and car rental that minimize
the inconvenience of a mechanical breakdown.
Through Genuine Toyota Financial Services, Toyota offers
service agreement plans to meet the needs of almost every
customer. Under these plans, repairs are made only by autho-
rized Toyota dealerships using Genuine Toyota Parts. This
means you always get original- equipment quality installed
by factory- trained technicians.
Your Toyota dealer can help you select the service agreement
plan that’s best for you. Be sure to request a plan from Genuine
Toyota Financial Services to get the highest level of quality,
service and peace of mind.
Pre-Paid Maintenance
An excellent way to ensure that your Toyota receives regular
maintenance — and to protect yourself from increases in vehicle
service costs — is to pay for maintenance services in advance.
Toyota offers pre- paid maintenance plans for both new and
used vehicles. Both plans cover oil- and- filter changes, lubrica-
tion of key chassis parts and a 19- point vehicle inspection. The
plans also include 24- hour roadside assistance, timed service
reminders and a computerized history of each service visit.
To meet differing customer needs, Toyota’s pre- paid mainte-
nance plans offer a variety of options for service intervals and
coverage length. Ask your Toyota dealer to help you select the
options that are best for you.

Determining the Proper
Maintenance Interval
Depending on your circumstances, you should obtain mainte-
nance for your Toyota every 5, 000 miles or every 7, 500 miles.
Follow these guidelines to determine which interval to use.
5,000-Mile Intervals
Use 5, 000- mile intervals if you primarily operate your vehicle
under any of the following conditions:
•Driving on unpaved or dusty roads.
•Towing a trailer or using a camper or car- top carrier.
•Repeated trips of less than five miles in temperatures
below freezing.
7,500-Mile Intervals
Use 7, 500- mile intervals if you primarily operate your vehicle
under conditions other than those listed above.
Following the Maintenance Log Charts
The Scheduled Maintenance Log identifies the maintenance
required at each mileage interval and corresponding time interval
based on mileage of 1, 250 miles per month. If you drive more than
1, 250 miles per month, you should obtain maintenance at the indi-
cated mileage interval rather than the indicated time interval.
If you choose 5,000- mile intervals, follow the maintenance
instructions shown below non- shaded headings such as this one:
5,000 Miles or 4 Months
If you choose 7, 500- mile intervals, follow the maintenance
instructions shown below shaded headings such as this one:
7, 500 Miles or 6 Months
At 15,000- mile increments, the 5,000- mile and 7, 500- mile
intervals coincide. Therefore, shaded and non- shaded headings
appear together, as in this example:
15,000 Miles or 12 Months
15,000 Miles or 12 Months
