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 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.
DealerRecommended 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
2004 Prius Owner’s Warranty Informationlocated in your vehicle’s
glove box.
