IMPORTANT MAINTENANCE
INFORMATION
It is especially important to both
routinely check your vehicle’s engine oil
level (once a month) and regularly
replace the engine oil and oil filter (see
the Maintenance Log section of this
booklet to determine how often you
should change your vehicle’s oil and
filter). Failure to do so can cause oil
starvation and or oil gelling, which can
result in severe damage to your vehicle
and require costly repairs that are not
covered by the New Vehicle Limited
Warranty.
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 failure 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 failure
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 to explain any recommended
maintenance not included in the scheduled
maintenance log.
For a complete description of Toyota
warranty coverages, see the Warranty
Information portion of this booklet.

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 only if the
majorityof your driving is done under
the special operating conditions
indicated. If you only occasionallydrive
under these circumstances, it is not
necessary to perform the additional
services.
Engine Oil Selection
Please refer to your Owner’s Manual for
the specific oil viscosity rating
recommended for your vehicle/engine
type.
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 “Maintenance and Care”
section of the
Owner’s Manual. Be sure to
perform these procedures regularly to
ensure the most trouble-free operation of
your vehicle.
SuperChrome and Alloy Wheel
Care
If you purchased genuine Toyota
accessory Aluminum Alloy Wheels, follow
these cleaning guidelines to maintain the
appearance of your alloy wheels:
•If wheels are hot, wait for them to cool
before washing.
•Use a soft sponge or cotton cloth to
apply the same mild car-wash soap as
used for the vehicle body. Quickly rinse
off with water. Use a soft cloth to apply
the same car wax as used for the
vehicle body.
•DO NOT USE: Any kind of chemical
based cleaners, alcohol, solvents,
gasoline, steam cleaners, scouring
pads, wire brushes, or coarse abrasives
to clean your wheels.

through deep sand, mud or water, perform
these inspections every day:
•Check ball joints and dust covers
•Check brake lines and hoses
•Check brake pads/disc
•Check differential oil
•Check drive shaft boots
•Check engine air filter
•Check nuts and bolts on chassis and
body
•Check steering linkage and boots
•Check transfer case oil (4WD models)
•Check transmission fluid or oil
•Lubricate propeller shaft
