al gas in the tank is not discharged

Maintenance requirements
Your Toyota vehicle has been designed to
for fewer maintenance requirements with
longer service intervals to save both your
time and money. However, each regular
maintenance, as well as day−to−day care,
is more important than ever before to en-
sure smooth, trouble−free, safe, and eco-
nomical drivings.
It is the owner ’s responsibility to make
sure the specified maintenance, including
general maintenance service, is performed.
Note that both the new vehicle and
emission control system warranties specify
that proper maintenance and care must be
performed. See “Owner ’s Manual
Supplement”.
General maintenance
General maintenance items are those day−
to−day care practices that are important to
your vehicle for proper operation. It is the
owner ’s responsibility to insure that the
general maintenance items are performed
regularly.
These checks or inspections can be done
either by yourself or a qualified technician,
or if you prefer, your authorized Toyota
CNG dealer will be pleased to do them at
a nominal cost.Scheduled maintenance
The scheduled maintenance items listed in
the “Owner ’s Manual Supplement” are
those required to be serviced at regular
intervals.
For details of your maintenance schedule,
read the “Owner ’s Manual Supplement”.
It is recommended that any replacement
parts used for maintenance or for the
repair of the emission control system
be Toyota supplied.
The owner may elect to use non−To y o t a
supplied parts for replacement pur-
poses without invalidating the emission
control system warranty. However, use
of replacement parts which are not of
equivalent quality may impair the effec-
tiveness of the emission control sys-
tems.
You may also elect to have
maintenance, replacement, or repair of
the emission control devices and
system performed by any automotive
repair establishment or individual
without invalidating this warranty. See
“Owner ’s Manual Supplement” for
complete warranty information.Where to go for service?
Toyota technicians are well−trained spe-
cialists and are kept up to date with the
latest service information through technical
bulletins, service tips, and in−dealership
training programs. They learn to work on
Toyotas before they work on your vehicle,
rather than while they are working on it.
You can be confident that your authorized
Toyota CNG dealer ’s service department
performs the best job to meet the mainte-
nance requirements on your vehicle—reli-
ably and economically.
Your copy of the repair order is proof that
all required maintenance has been
performed for warranty coverage. And if
any problems should arise with your
vehicle while under warranty, your
authorized Toyota CNG dealer will
promptly take care of it. Again, be sure to
keep a copy of the repair order for any
service performed on your Toyota.
What about do−it−yourself maintenance?
Many of the maintenance items are easy
to do yourself if you have a little mechani-
cal ability and a few basic automotive
tools. Simple instructions for how to per-
form them are presented in Section 7.
