service interval TOYOTA 4RUNNER 2004 N210 / 4.G Scheduled Maintenance Guide

iiMaintenance 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 yourmaintenance 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 2004 Owner’s Warranty Informationlocated in your vehicle’s
glove box.

Service Agreements and Pre-Paid Maintenance
Toyota Maintenance and Repair Support52
Toyota Extra Care Vehicle Service Agreements
Toyota Extra Care Vehicle Service Agreements enhance the scope and/or length of
protection for your vehicle by providing coverage in addition to your vehicle’s
factory warranty, or providing protection if the original warranty has expired.
1
Toyota Extra Care provides for the repair or replacement of covered components
that have mechanical failures and protects you from rising repair costs in the
future. In addition, many plans include benefits such as towing, substitute trans-
portation and travel protection with lodging and meals.
Toyota Extra Care Vehicle Service Agreements are accepted at all participating Toyota
dealerships in the United States and Canada. That means repairs are made by
factory-trained service technicians using Genuine Toyota Parts.

plans, each with a variety of time and mileage options.

help you select the plan that best meets your needs.

prepay for your vehicle’s regularly scheduled maintenance and protects you from
the rising cost of service.

chassis parts, 19-point inspections at predetermined service intervals, timed
service reminders and a computerized history of each service visit. In addition,

able for new vehicles only) also include tire rotations and major maintenance
services at 15,000, 30,000 and 45,000 miles.
