Extended Service Coverage
A Toyota Motor Insurance Services (TMIS) vehicle service
agreement provides protection against unexpected repairs for
mechanical breakdown beyond the factory warranty. It also
protects you from increases in the cost of covered repairs. In
addition, many TMIS plans include benefits such as towing,
substitute transportation and travel protection with lodging
and meals.
Because they are factory- backed, TMIS service agreements are
accepted at all Toyota dealerships in the United States and
Canada. That means repairs are made only by factory- trained
technicians using Genuine Toyota Parts.
TMIS offers several levels of service agreement coverage, each
with a variety of time and mileage options. Your Toyota dealer
can help you select the coverage that best meets your needs.
Pre-Paid Maintenance
An excellent way to make sure your Toyota receives the recom-
mended maintenance — and to protect yourself from increases
in vehicle service costs — is to pay for maintenance services in
advance.
Toyota Auto Care pre- paid maintenance plans are available
for both new and used vehicles. Benefits include oil- and- filter
changes, lubrication of key chassis parts and a 19- point vehicle
inspection at each service interval. In addition, you receive
24- hour roadside assistance, timed service reminders and a
computerized history of each service visit. The Premium Plan
(available for new vehicles) also includes tire rotations and
factory- recommended maintenance at service intervals of
15,000, 30,000 and 45,000 miles.
Toyota Auto Care plans offer two coverage levels as well as
several options for service intervals, time and mileage. 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

Special Operating Conditions
In addition to standard maintenance items, the Scheduled
Maintenance Log indicates services that should be performed
on vehicles that are driven under especially demanding condi-
tions. Specific conditions require specific services, as indicated
below. The Scheduled Maintenance Log indicates at which
mileage/time intervals each service should be performed.
You should perform these additional maintenance services if
you drive
primarilyunder any of the conditions noted. If you
drive only occasionally under these conditions, it is not neces-
sary to perform the additional services.

•Inspect ball joints and dust cover
•Inspect brake linings/drums and brake pads/discs
•Inspect drive shaft boots
•Inspect nuts and bolts on chassis and body
•Inspect steering linkage
•Re- torque drive shaft bolt*
•Lubricate propeller shaft and re- torque bolt*
Driving on Salt-Covered Roads
•Lubricate propeller shaft and re- torque bolt*
Driving on Unpaved or Dusty Roads
•Inspect brake linings/drums and brake pads/discs
•Inspect or change engine air filter
•Lubricate propeller shaft and re- torque bolt*
