The Importance of Scheduled Maintenance
egular maintenance is essential to obtaining the highest
level of performance, safety and reliability from your
Toyota. It can also enhance your vehicle’s resale value.
This booklet is designed to help you make sure your vehicle
receives proper and timely maintenance. It includes factory-
recommended maintenance guidelines along with information
on the extensive maintenance and repair support available
through Toyota and your dealership. You’ ll also find space to
document your vehicle’s maintenance history.
In addition to scheduled maintenance, your Toyota requires
ongoing general maintenance such as fluid checks and periodic
visual inspections. These procedures are explained under the
“ General Maintenance ” heading in the “ Vehicle Maintenance
and Care ” section of the
Owner’s Manual. Be sure to follow
these guidelines carefully to ensure the most trouble- free
operation of your vehicle.With proper maintenance and care, your vehicle will last
longer and deliver more dependable, economical performance.
Follow this booklet’s recommendations and you’ ll enjoy maxi-
mum reliability and peace of mind from your Toyota for many
years to come.

Maintenance & Toyota Warranty Coverage
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 ser-
vice and a description of service and/or parts installation
performed. The scheduled maintenance log in this booklet is a
good place to record 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 failures caused by lack of proper mainte-
nance are not covered under warranty.
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 mainte-
nance or repairs are not covered under warranty.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 expla-
nation of any recommended maintenance not included in the
scheduled maintenance log.
For a complete description of Toyota warranty coverages,
see the booklet entitled
2001 Owner’s Warranty
Information
in your vehicle’s glove box.

Determining Your Vehicle’s Maintenance Needs
SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE LOGS17
Determining the Proper
Maintenance Interval
Depending on your circumstances, you should obtain mainte-
nance for your Toyota every 5, 000 miles or every 7, 500 miles.
Follow these guidelines to determine which interval to use.
5,000-Mile Intervals
Use 5, 000- mile intervals if you primarily operate your vehicle
under any of the following conditions:
•Driving on unpaved or dusty roads.
•Towing a trailer or using a car- top carrier.
•Repeated trips of less than five miles in temperatures
below freezing.
7,500-Mile Intervals
Use 7, 500- mile intervals if you primarily operate your vehicle
under conditions other than those listed above.
Following the Maintenance Log Charts
The scheduled maintenance log identifies the maintenance
required at each mileage interval and corresponding time interval
based on mileage of 1, 250 miles per month. If you drive more than
1, 250 miles per month, you should obtain maintenance at the indi-
cated mileage interval rather than the indicated time interval.
If you choose 5,000- mile intervals, follow the maintenance
instructions shown below non- shaded headings such as this one:
5,000 Miles or 4 Months
If you choose 7, 500- mile intervals, follow the maintenance
instructions shown below shaded headings such as this one:
7, 500 Miles or 6 Months
At 15,000- mile increments, the 5,000- mile and 7, 500- mile
intervals coincide. Therefore, shaded and non- shaded headings
appear together, as in this example:
15,000 Miles or 12 Months
15,000 Miles or 12 Months
