6-2. Maintenance
Maintenance requirements
To ensure safe and economical driving, day-to-day care and regular
maintenance are essential. Toyota recommends the following main-
tenance:
General maintenance
General maintenance should be performed on a daily basis. This can be
done by yourself or by a Toyota dealer. Scheduled maintenance
⚫Scheduled maintenance should be performed at specified intervals
according to the maintenance schedule.
The interval for scheduled maintenance is determined by the odometer reading or
the time interval, whichever comes first, shown in the schedule.
Maintenance beyond the last period should be performed at the same intervals.
⚫Where to go for maintenance service?
It makes good sense to take your vehicle to your local Toyota dealer for maintenance
service as well as other inspections and repairs.
Toyota technicians are well-trained specialist s receiving the latest service information
through technical bulletins, service tips and in-dealership training programs. They
learn to work on Toyota before they work on your vehicle, rather than while they are
working on it. Doesn’t that seem like the best way?
Your Toyota dealer has invested a lot of money in special Toyota tools and service
equipment. It helps them to do the job better and at less cost.
Your Toyota dealer’s service department will perform all of the scheduled mainte-
nance on your vehicle re liably and economically.
Rubber hoses (for cooling and heater system, brake system and fuel system) should
be inspected by a qualified technician according to the Toyota maintenance sched-
ule.
Rubber hoses are particularly important maintenance items. Have any deteriorated
or damaged hoses replaced immediately. Note that rubber hoses will deteriorate
with age, resulting in swe lling, chafing or cracking.
