Maintenance and Care
Claims against the warranty resulting from lack of maintenance, as
opposed to defective materials or authorized Toyota workmanship, will
not be honored.
Any auto repair shop using parts equivalent to your Toyota’s original
equipment may perform maintenance. But we recommend that it
always be done by your Toyota dealer using genuine Toyota parts.
Selecting “Maintenance Monitor” enables the system to notify you of
your vehicle’s approaching inspection/servicing period (→P. 414).
The malfunction diagnosis connecto r is designed exclusively for con-
necting the specially designed device to perform on-board diagnosis.
Do not connect any devices other than the specially designed mal-
function diagnosis devices for servic ing. If any device other than the
malfunction diagnosis device is connec ted, it may affect the vehicle’s
electrical devices or lead to damage such as battery depletion.
If you elect to perform maintenance yourself or have your vehicle serviced at
a location other than your Toyota dealer, Toyota requires that all fluids, parts
and materials must meet Toyota standards for durability and performance as
described in this manual.
