egular maintenance is essential

To ensure that your vehicle receives
rst-quality service and parts, Toyo t a
recommends having maintenance
performed by an authorized Toyo t a

are experts on Toyo t a vehicles, and they
use Toyo t a Genuine Parts designed to
your vehicle’s exact specications. When
you go to a Toyo t a dealership, you can be
condent that they will use Toyo t a Genuine
Parts and have Toyota-trained technicians.
Miles or Months?
Toyo t a 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
dr i ver, mark your calendar to remind
yourself to obtain maintenance every
six months.

proper maintenance, each maintenance
checklist includes space for your Toyo t a
dealership to certify that you obtained
Genuine Toyo t a Service for your vehicle.
