INTRODUCTION
A
t Toyota, our top priority is always  
our customers. We know your Toyota 
is an important part of your life and 
something you depend on every day. That’s 
why we’re dedicated to building products of 
the highest quality and reliability. 
Our excellent warranty coverage is  
evidence that we stand behind the quality  
of our vehicles. We’re confident — as you 
should be — that your Toyota will provide  
you with many years of enjoyable driving. 
To further demonstrate our commitment to  
our customers’ satisfaction, occasionally  
we may establish a special policy  
adjustment to pay for specific repairs that  
are no longer covered by warranty. When  
we establish such a policy adjustment, we  
mail details to all applicable owners we  
have on record. That’s why it’s important  
to send in the card at the back of this  
booklet if you change your address or if 
you’ve purchased this vehicle from a  
previous owner. 
To provide you with added protection  
against unexpected service costs, we offer  
Toyota Financial Services vehicle service 
agreements and Toyota Auto Care and  
Toyota Care Plus pre-paid maintenance 
programs. Each offers plans to meet a  
wide variety of needs. Your dealership can 
help you select the plan that’s best for you.
Our goal is for every Toyota customer to  
enjoy outstanding quality, dependability  
and peace of mind throughout their  
ownership experience. We want you to be  
a satisfied member of the Toyota family  
for many miles to come.
This booklet describes the terms of 
Toyota warranty coverage as well as  
general owner responsibilities. The 
scheduled maintenance section 
describes your vehicle’s maintenance 
requirements. Be sure to review this 
information carefully, since proper 
maintenance is required to ensure that 
warranty coverage remains intact.
All information in this booklet is the latest 
available at the time of publication and is 
subject to change without notice.

MAINTENANCE
MAINTAINING YOUR WARRANTY
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 is 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 is 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.
