Determining the Proper 
Maintenance Interval
Depending on your circumstances, you  should obtain mainte-
nance for your Toyota every 5, 000 miles or every 7, 500 miles.
Follow these guidelines to determine which interval to use.
5,000-Mile Intervals
Use 5, 000- mile intervals if you primarily operate your vehicle
under any of the following conditions:
•Driving on unpaved or dusty roads.
•Towing  a trailer or using  a camper or car- top carrier.
•Repeated trips of less than five miles in temperatures
below freezing.
7,500-Mile Intervals
Use 7, 500- mile intervals if you primarily operate your vehicle
under conditions other than those listed  above.
Following the Maintenance Log Charts
The  Scheduled Maintenance Log identifies the maintenance
required  at each mileage interval  and corresponding time interval
based on mileage of 1, 250 miles per month. If you drive more than
1, 250 miles per month, you  should obtain maintenance  at the indi-
cated mileage interval rather than the indicated time interval.
If you choose 5,000- mile intervals, follow the maintenance
instructions shown below non- shaded headings such  as this one:
5,000 Miles or 4 Months
If you choose 7, 500- mile intervals, follow the maintenance
instructions shown below shaded headings such  as this one:
7, 500 Miles or 6 Months
At 15,000- mile increments, the 5,000- mile  and 7, 500- mile
intervals coincide. Therefore,  shaded  and non- shaded headings
appear together,  as in this example:
15,000 Miles or 12 Months
15,000 Miles or 12 Months

Special Operating Conditions
In  addition to  standard maintenance items, the  Scheduled
Maintenance Log indicates services that  should be performed
on vehicles that  are driven under especially demanding condi-
tions.  Specific conditions require  specific  services,  as indicated
below. The  Scheduled Maintenance Log indicates at which
mileage/time intervals each  service  should be performed. 
You  should perform these  additional maintenance  services if
you drive 
primarilyunder any of the conditions noted. If you
drive only occasionally under these conditions, it is not neces-
sary to perform the  additional  services.
