Using the Maintenance Log Charts
33
Miles or Months?
Toyota recommends obtaining scheduled maintenance for your vehicle every
5,000 miles or six months, whichever comes first.
For example:
•If you drive 5,000 miles in less than six months, you should obtain mainte
nance at
5,000 miles— don’t wait until six months.
•If at six months you have driven less than 5,000 miles, you should obtain
maintenance at
six months— don’t wait until 5,000 miles.
Be sure to keep an eye on your mileage so that you obtain maintenance when
recommended. If you are a low mileage driver, mark your calendar to remind
yourself to obtain maintenance every six months.
Special Operating Conditions
In addition to standard maintenance items, the maintenance log indicates
services that should be performed on vehicles that are driven under especially
demanding conditions. These “special operating conditions” and their required
maintenance items are clearly indicated in each chart.
Note:You should perform these additional maintenance services if you drive
primarilyunder any of the special operating conditions indicated. If you drive
only occasionally under these conditions, it is not necessary to perform the
additional services.
