Introduction
Be extremely careful and prevent injury to yourself and others or dam-
age to your vehicle when using this manual for inspection and mainte-
nance.
If you are unsure about any procedure it describes, we strongly urge
you to have a reliable and qualified service shop perform the work,
preferably your Toyota dealer.
Factory-trained Toyota technicians and genuine Toyota parts are best
for your vehicle. Without this expe rtise and the parts that have been
designed and made especially for your Toyota, inadequate, incom-
plete, and insufficient servicing may result in problems. This could
lead to vehicle damage or an accident and injuries.
For expert advice and quality service, consult your Toyota dealer.
To continue warranty eligibility and to protect your investment, it is
your responsibility to pr operly maintain your vehicle according to fac-
tory recommended schedul es outlined in this manual. Keep a copy of
the repair order. It proves that the maintenance that has been per-
formed is under warranty coverage. If any problem should arise while
your vehicle is under warranty, your Toyota dealer will promptly take
care of it.
This evidence may consist of the following: • The Maintenance Log, found within the Warranty and Maintenance Guide, must be completely filled out showing mileage, repair order
number, date for each service, and signed by a qualified automotive
service technician who service vehicles.
• Original copies of repair orders or other receipts that include the mileage and date the vehicle was serviced. Each receipt should be
signed by a qualified automot ive service technician.
• For self maintenance, a statemen t that you completed the mainte-
nance yourself, displaying mileag e and the date the work was per-
formed. Also, receipts for the replac ement parts (fluid, filters, etc.)
indicating the date and mileage mu st accompany this statement.

Maintenance and Care
Also, inspect them for uneven wear and damage. Abnormal wear is
usually caused by one or a combination of the following:• Incorrect tire pressure
• Improper wheel alignment
• Out-of-balance wheel
• Severe braking
After rotation, inflate all tire pressures to specification (
→P. 558) and
inspect the lug nu ts for tightness.
With tire pressure monitoring system:
After adjusting the tire pressure, init ialization of the tire pressure mon-
itoring system is necessary to make the system operate normally.
Refer to Tire Pressure Monitoring System Initialization on P. 221.
WARNING
■Rotate tires periodically
Irregular tire wear is dangerous. To equalize tire wear and extend tire
life, Toyota recommends that tire rotation is carried out at the same
interval as tire inspection.
For scheduled maintenance information, please refer to the “Owner’s
Manual Supplement/Scheduled Maintenance Guide”.
NOTICE
Rotate unidirectional tires and radial tires that have an asymmetrical
tread pattern or studs only from front to rear, not from side to side. Tire
performance will be reduced if rotated from side to side.
