TOYOTA COROLLA 2005 E120 / 9.G Scheduled Maintenance Guide

i
egular maintenance is essential to obtaining the highest level of perfor
mance from your Toyota. It can also increase your vehicle’s resale value.
This booklet presents Toyota’s maintenance recommendations in conve
nient checklists, so you can easily see what type of maintenance your vehicle
needs and document that the work was performed.
To ensure that your vehicle receives firstquality service and parts, Toyota
recommends having maintenance performed by an authorized Toyota dealer
ship. Toyota dealership technicians are experts on Toyota vehicles, and they use
Genuine Toyota Parts designed to your vehicle’s exact specifications. When you
go to a Toyota dealership, you can be confident of the quality that is going on
your vehicle as well as the qualifications of the person under the hood.
Documenting Your Investment
To help you verify that you’ve invested in proper maintenance, each mainte
nance checklist includes space for your Toyota dealership to certify that youobtained Genuine Toyota Service for your vehicle. The dealership will mark
the dealer service verification area with the following stamp (which may be
customized with the dealership’s name):
Additional Maintenance
In addition to scheduled maintenance, your Toyota requires ongoing general
maintenance such as fluid checks and visual inspections. These procedures are
explained in the “Vehicle Maintenance and Care” section of the
Owner’s Manual.

operation of your vehicle.

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
scheduled maintenance log.

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.
Special Operating Conditions
In addition to standard maintenance items, the maintenance log indicates
services that should be performed on vehicles that are driven under especially
demanding conditions. These “special operating conditions” and their required
maintenance items are clearly indicated in each chart.
Note:You should perform these additional maintenance services if you drive
primarilyunder any of the special operating conditions indicated. If you drive
only occasionally under these conditions, it is not necessary to perform the
