MAINTENANCE
You are responsible for performance  
of the required maintenance indicated  
in the Owner’s Manual and this booklet. 
Toyota will not deny a warranty claim  
solely because you do not have records  
to show that you maintained your vehicle.  
However, any failure or noncompliance  
caused by lack of maintenance is not  
covered by this warranty. 
When maintenance and repairs are  
paid for by you, these 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,  
any failure or noncompliance caused by 
improper maintenance or repairs is not 
covered by this warranty.

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.

MAINTENANCE
Special Operating Conditions
In addition to standard maintenance items,  
the maintenance log indicates services that 
should be performed on vehicles that are 
driven under especially demanding  
conditions. These “special operating 
conditions” and their required maintenance 
items are clearly indicated in each chart.
NOTE:
You should perform these additional 
maintenance services only if the 
majority of your driving is done under  
the special operating conditions 
indicated. If you only occasionally  
drive under these circumstances, it  
is not necessary to perform the 
additional services.
Engine Oil Selection
Please refer to your Owner’s Manual for the 
specific oil viscosity rating recommended  
for your vehicle/engine type.
Additional Maintenance
In addition to scheduled maintenance,  
your Toyota requires ongoing general 
maintenance, such as fluid checks and  
visual inspections. These procedures are 
explained in the “Maintenance and Care” 
section of the Owner’s Manual. Be sure  
to perform these procedures regularly to 
ensure the most trouble-free operation  
of your vehicle.
SuperChrome and   
Alloy Wheel Care
If you purchased genuine Toyota accessory  
SuperChrome or Aluminum Alloy Wheels, 
follow these cleaning guidelines to maintain 
the appearance of your wheels:
• If wheels are hot, wait for them to cool  
before washing.
• Use a soft sponge or cotton cloth to  
apply the same mild car-wash soap as  
used for the vehicle body. Quickly rinse  
off with water. Use a soft cloth to apply  
the same car wax as used for the  
vehicle body.
• DO NOT USE: Any kind of chemical- 
based cleaners, alcohol, solvents,  
gasoline, steam cleaners, scouring  
pads, wire brushes or coarse abrasives  
to clean your wheels.
