GENERAL INFORMATION
You are responsible for ensuring that
your Toyota is operated and maintained
according to the instructions in the
Owner’s Manual and 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 failure caused by
lack of proper maintenance is 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

THE IMPORTANCE OF SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE
Maintenance Log
MAINTENANCE

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.

warranty coverages, see the Warranty
