MAINTENANCE
R
egular maintenance is essential
to obtaining the highest level of
performance, safety and reliability
from your Toyota. It can also increase
your vehicle’s resale value. This booklet
presents Toyota’s maintenance
recommendations in convenient checklists,
so you can easily see what type of
maintenance your vehicle needs and
document that the work was performed.
To ensure that your vehicle receives
rst-quality service and parts, Toyota
recommends having maintenance
performed by an authorized Toyota
dealership. Toyota dealership technicians
are experts on Toyota vehicles, and they
use Toyota Genuine Parts designed to
your vehicle’s exact specications. When
you go to a Toyota dealership, you can be
condent that they will use Toyota Genuine
Parts and have Toyota-trained technicians.
Miles or Months?
Toyota recommends obtaining scheduled
maintenance for your vehicle every
5,000 miles or six months, whichever
comes rst.
For example:
• If you drive 5,000 miles in less than six
months, you should obtain maintenance
at 5,000 miles — don’t wait until six months.
• If at six months you have driven less
than 5,000 miles, you should obtain
maintenance at six months — don’t
wait until 5,000 miles.
Be sure to keep an eye on your mileage
so that you obtain maintenance when
recommended. If you are a low-mileage
driver, mark your calendar to remind
yourself to obtain maintenance every
six months.
Documenting Your Investment
To help you verify that you’ve invested in
proper maintenance, each maintenance
checklist includes space for your Toyota
dealership to certify that you obtained
Genuine Toyota Service for your vehicle.
The dealership may mark the dealer
service verication area with the following
stamp (which may be customized with the
dealership’s name):
