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 nothave records
to show that you maintained your vehicle. However, damage or failures caused
by lack of proper maintenance are 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 failures caused by improper maintenance or repairs
are 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 for an explanation of any recommended maintenance not included in the
scheduled maintenance log.
For a complete description of Toyota warranty coverages, see the booklet
entitled
2003 Owner’s Warranty Informationlocated in your vehicle’s
glove box.
Maintenance and Toyota Warranty Coverage

Toyota Maintenance and Repair Support14
Service Agreements and Pre-Paid Maintenance
Extended Service Coverage
Toyota vehicle service agreements provide protection against unexpected repairs
formechanical breakdown of covered components beyond the factory warranty.
*
They also protect you from increases in the cost of covered repairs. In addition,
many plans include benefits such as towing, substitute transportation and travel
protection with lodging and meals.
Because they are factory-backed, Toyota service agreements are accepted at all
Toyota dealerships in the United States and Canada. That means repairs are made
only by factory-trained technicians using Genuine Toyota Parts.
Toyota Financial Services offers several levels of service agreement coverage, each
with a variety of time and mileage options.
**Your Toyota dealer can help you
select the coverage that best meets your needs.
Pre-Paid Maintenance
An excellent way to make sure your Toyota receives the recommended mainte-
nance — and to protect yourself from increases in vehicle service costs — is to
pay for maintenance services in advance.
Toyota Auto Care pre-paid maintenance plans are available for both new and
used vehicles. Benefits include oil-and-filter changes, lubrication of key chassis
parts and a 19-point vehicle inspection at each service interval. In addition, you
receive 24-hour roadside assistance, timed service reminders and a computerized
history of each service visit. The Premium Plan (available for new vehicles) also
includes tire rotations and factory-recommended maintenance at service inter-
vals of 15,000, 30,000 and 45,000 miles.
Toyota Auto Care plans offer two coverage levels as well as several options for
service intervals, time and mileage. Ask your Toyota dealer to help you select
the options that are best for you.
Vehicle service agreements are offered by Toyota Motor Insurance Services, Inc., dba Toyota Motor
Services Company in certain states. In Florida, offered by Toyota Motor Insurance Company.
Toyota Financial Services is a service mark used by Toyota Motor Insurance Services, Inc.*
