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   
your vehicle’s oil and filter should be 
replaced). 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 are not covered under warranty.
Toyota recommends maintenance and repair 
services be performed by a Toyota dealership 
or another qualified service center or   
repair shop.
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.
