410 4-2. Maintenance
Where to go for maintenance service?
In order to maintain your vehicle in the highest possible condition, Toyota
recommends that maintenance service operations as well as other inspec-
tions and repairs be carried out by authorized Toyota dealers or repairers or
other duly qualified and equipped professionals. For repairs and services
covered by your warranty, please visit an authorized Toyota dealer or
repairer, who will use genuine Toyota parts in repairing any difficulties you
may encounter. There can also be advantages in utilizing authorized Toyota
dealers or repairers for non-warranty repairs and services, as members of
the Toyota network will be able to expertly assist you with any difficulties you
may encounter.
Your Toyota dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped pro-
fessional service department will perform all of the scheduled maintenance
on your vehicle-reliably and economically due to their experience with
Toyota vehicles.
Does your vehicle need repair?
Be on the alert for changes in performance and sounds, and visual tip-offs
that indicate service is needed. Some important clues are:
Engine misfire, stumbling, or pinging
Appreciable loss of power
Strange engine noises
A fluid leak under the vehicle (However, water dripping from the air condi-
tioning after use is normal.)
Change in exhaust sound (This may indicate a dangerous carbon mon-
oxide leak. Drive with the windows open and have the exhaust system
checked immediately.)
Flat-looking tires, excessive tire squeal when cornering, uneven tire wear
Vehicle pulls to one side when driving straight on a level road
Strange noises related to suspension movement
Loss of brake effectiveness, spongy feeling brake pedal, pedal almost
touches the floor, vehicle pulls to one side when braking

Maintenance and care
CAUTION
Pre-driving check
Check that the hood is fully closed and locked.
If the hood is not locked properly, it may open while the vehicle is in motion
and cause an accident, which may result in death or serious injury.
When moving the support rod
High temperatures in the engine compartment cause the support rod to
become extremely hot.
When moving the supporting rod, be sure to hold the support rod cover to
prevent burns.
After installing the support rod into the slot
Make sure the rod supports the hood securely, so that it will not fall down
onto your head or body.
NOTICE
When closing the hood
Be sure to return the support rod to its clip before closing the hood. Closing
the hood with the support rod up could cause the hood to bend.
