The tires that come as original equipment
on your vehicle are warranted by their
manufacturer and not Toyota. A separate
warranty statement for the tires is in your
glove box.
To obtain service for a tire defect, take the
tire to an authorized dealer of the tire
manufacturer. (Refer to your local phone
directory for dealer locations.) Your Toyota
dealer may also be able to assist you in
obtaining warranty service from the
manufacturer.
For additional warranty information or
service assistance, contact the tire
manufacturer directly.

GENERAL INFORMATION
You are responsible for ensuring that your
Toyota is operated and maintained
according to the instructions in the
Owner’s Manualand this booklet.
You should keep detailed records of
vehicle maintenance, since under some
circumstances they may be required for
warranty coverage. These records should
include date of service, mileage at time of
service and a description of service
performed and/or parts installed. For your
convenience, a maintenance log is
included in this booklet. If you sell your
vehicle, you should give your maintenance
records to the new owner.
Toyota will not deny a warranty claim
solely because you do not have records to
show that you maintained your vehicle.
However, damage or failures caused by
lack of proper maintenance are not
covered under warranty.
WHERE TO GO FOR
MAINTENANCE
You may have maintenance performed on
your vehicle by any qualified person or
facility. However, Toyota recommends
having maintenance performed by an
authorized Toyota dealership.
Toyota dealership technicians are specially
trained to maintain and repair Toyota
vehicles. They stay current on the latest
service information through Toyota
technical bulletins, service publications
and training courses. Many are also
certified through the Toyota Certification
Program, which involves a series of
rigorous written examinations. Feel free to
ask any Toyota dealership to show you
their technicians’ credentials.
You can be confident you’re getting the
best possible service for your vehicle
when you take it to a Toyota dealership.

REPLACEMENT PARTS
Warranty coverage is not dependent upon
the use of any particular brand of
replacement parts. However, Toyota
recommends using only Genuine Toyota
Parts when you need to replace a part on
your vehicle. Like all Toyota products,
Genuine Toyota Parts are built to the
highest standards of quality, durability and
performance. They are also designed to fit
your vehicle’s exact specifications.
Your Toyota dealership maintains an
extensive inventory of Genuine Toyota
Parts to meet your vehicle service needs.
And because it is linked electronically to
Toyota’s Parts Distribution Centers, the
dealership has quick access to any parts it
may not have in stock.Genuine Toyota Parts are covered by their
own warranty (see your dealer for details)
or the remainder of any applicable New
Vehicle Limited Warranty, whichever is
longer.
Non-Genuine Toyota Parts, or any
damage or failures resulting from their
use, are not covered by any Toyota
warranty.

BY GEOGRAPHIC REGION
In the United States, U.S.
Territories, Canada and Mexico
To obtain warranty service in the United
States, U.S. territories, Canada or Mexico,
take your vehicle to an authorized Toyota
dealership. If your vehicle cannot be
driven, contact your nearest Toyota
dealership for towing assistance. You do
not have to pay for towing to the nearest
Toyota dealership if your vehicle is
inoperable due to failure of a warranted
part.
Outside the United States, U.S.
Territories, Canada and Mexico
If you are using your vehicle outside the
United States, U.S. territories, Canada and
Mexico and need warranty service, contact
a local Toyota dealership. Please note,
however, that your vehicle may not be
repaired free of charge because the local
Toyota distributor may have no obligation
to provide warranty service for your
vehicle, and/or your vehicle may not
comply with local regulatory or
environmental requirements.
EMERGENCY REPAIRS
If your vehicle is inoperable or unsafe to
drive and there is no Toyota dealership
reasonably available to make repairs, you
may perform the repairs yourself or have
them performed by another automotive
service provider. Toyota will reimburse you
for any of the repairs that are covered by
warranty. To receive reimbursement,
present to an authorized Toyota dealership
your paid repair invoices and any parts
that were removed from the vehicle. You
will be reimbursed for warranted parts at
the manufacturer’s suggested retail price
and warranted labor at a geographically
appropriate hourly rate multiplied by
Toyota’s recommended time allowance for
the repair.
If your vehicle requires emergency repair,
Toyota assumes no liability for subsequent
failures caused by improper repairs or the
use of non-Genuine Toyota Parts unless
you have the vehicle properly repaired in a
timely manner. To ensure that warranty
coverage remains intact, have your vehicle
inspected by an authorized Toyota
dealership as soon as possible after an
emergency repair.

IMPORTANT MAINTENANCE
INFORMATION
It is especially important to both
routinely check your vehicle’s engine oil
level (once a month) and regularly
replace the engine oil and oil filter (see
the Maintenance Log section of this
booklet to determine how often you
should change your vehicle’s oil and
filter). Failure to do so can cause oil
starvation and or oil gelling, which can
result in severe damage to your vehicle
and require costly repairs that are not
covered by the New Vehicle Limited
Warranty.
Maintenance Records
Maintaining your vehicle according to the
recommendations in this booklet is
required to ensure that your warranty
coverage remains intact. You should keep
detailed records of vehicle maintenance,
including date of service, mileage at time
of service and a description of service
and/or parts installation performed. The
scheduled maintenance log in this booklet
can help you document this information. If
you sell your vehicle, be sure to give your
maintenance records to the new owner.
Toyota will not deny a warranty claim
solely because you do not have records to
show that you maintained your vehicle.
However, damage or failure caused by lack
of proper maintenance are not covered
under warranty.
Maintenance Providers
Maintenance and repair services may be
performed by you or by any automotive
service provider you choose. Toyota will
not deny a warranty claim solely because
you used a service provider other than a
Toyota dealership for maintenance and
repairs. However, damage or failure
caused by improper maintenance or
repairs are not covered under warranty.
Dealer-Recommended
Maintenance
Your dealer may recommend more
frequent maintenance intervals or more
maintenance services than those listed in
the scheduled maintenance log. These
additional services are not required to
maintain your warranty coverage. Ask your
dealer to explain any recommended
maintenance not included in the scheduled
maintenance log.
For a complete description of Toyota
warranty coverages, see the Warranty
Information portion of this booklet.

egular maintenance is essential to
obtaining the highest level of
performance from your Toyota. It
can also increase your vehicle’s resale
value. This booklet presents Toyota’s
maintenance recommendations in
convenient checklists, so you can easily
see what type of maintenance your vehicle
needs and document that the work was
performed.
To ensure that your vehicle receives
first-quality service and parts, Toyota
recommends having maintenance
performed by an authorized Toyota
dealership. Toyota dealership technicians
are experts on Toyota vehicles, and they
use Genuine Toyota Parts designed to your
vehicle’s exact specifications. When you
go to a Toyota dealership, you can be
confident that they will use Genuine Toyota
parts and have Toyota-trained technicians.
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 maintenance
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.
Documenting Your Investment
To help you verify that you’ve invested in
proper maintenance, each maintenance
checklist includes space for your Toyota
dealership to certify that you obtained
Genuine Toyota Service for your vehicle.
The dealership may mark the dealer
service verification area with the following
stamp (which may be customized with the
dealership’s name):
