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 not have 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 becauseyou used a service provider other than a Toyota dealership for maintenance and
repairs. However, damage or failures caused by improper maintenance or repairs
are notcovered under warranty.
DealerRecommended Maintenance
Your dealer may recommend more frequent maintenance intervals or more
maintenance services than those listed in the scheduled maintenance log. Theseadditional services are not required to maintain your warranty coverage. Ask your
dealer for an explanation of any recommended maintenance not included in the

Miles or Months?
Toyota recommends obtaining scheduled maintenance for your vehicle every
5,000 miles or six months, whichever comes first.
For example:
•If you drive 5,000 miles in less than six months, you should obtain mainte
nance 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 lowmileage driver, mark your calendar to remind
yourself to obtain maintenance every six months.

demanding conditions. These “special operating conditions” and their required
maintenance items are clearly indicated in each chart.
