OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
GENERAL INFORMATION
You are responsible for ensuring that
your Toyota is operated and maintained
according to the instructions in the
Owner’s Manual and this booklet.
You should keep detailed records of
vehicle maintenance, since under some
circumstances they may be required for
warranty coverage. These records should
include date of service, mileage at time
of service and a description of service
performed and/or parts installed. For
your convenience, a maintenance log is
included in this booklet. If you sell your
vehicle, you should 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 is not
covered under warranty.

WHERE TO GO FOR
MAINTENANCE
You may have maintenance performed
on your vehicle by any qualied person
or facility. However, Toyota recommends
having maintenance performed by an
authorized Toyota dealership.
Toyota dealership technicians are specially
trained to maintain and repair Toyota
vehicles. They stay current on the latest
service information through Toyota
technical bulletins, service publications
and training courses. Many are also
certied through the Toyota Certication
Program, which involves a series of
rigorous written examinations. Feel free
to ask any Toyota dealership to show you
their technicians’ credentials.
You can be condent you’re getting the
best possible service for your vehicle
when you take it to a Toyota dealership.

31Your Responsibilities
WARRANTY
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
REPLACEMENT PARTS
Warranty coverage is not dependent
upon the use of any particular brand
of replacement parts. However, Toyota
recommends using only Genuine Toyota
Parts when you need to replace a part
on your vehicle. Like all Toyota products,
Genuine Toyota Parts are built to the
highest standards of quality, durability
and performance. They are also designed
to t your vehicle’s exact specications.
Your Toyota dealership maintains an
extensive inventory of Genuine Toyota
Parts to meet your vehicle service needs.
And because it is linked electronically to
Toyota’s Parts Distribution Centers, the
dealership has quick access to any parts
it may not have in stock.


Genuine Toyota Parts are covered by their
own warranty (see your dealer for details)
or the remainder of any applicable New
Vehicle Limited Warranty, whichever is
longer. Non-Genuine Toyota Parts, or
any damage or failures resulting from
their use, are not covered by any
Toyota warranty.

32Your Responsibilities
WARRANTY
BY GEOGRAPHIC REGION
In the United States, U.S.
Territories, Canada and Mexico
To obtain warranty service in the United
States, U.S. territories, Canada or Mexico,
take your vehicle to an authorized Toyota
dealership. If your vehicle cannot be
driven, contact your nearest Toyota
dealership for towing assistance. You do
not have to pay for towing to the nearest
Toyota dealership if your vehicle is inoperable
due to failure of a warranted part.
Outside the United States, U.S.
Territories, Canada and Mexico
If you are using your vehicle outside the
United States, U.S. territories, Canada and
Mexico and need warranty service, contact
a local Toyota dealership. Please note,
however, that your vehicle may not be
repaired free of charge because the local
Toyota distributor may have no obligation
to provide warranty service for your
vehicle, and/or your vehicle may not
comply with local regulatory or
environmental requirements.


EMERGENCY REPAIRS
If your vehicle is inoperable or unsafe to
drive and there is no Toyota dealership
reasonably available to make repairs, you
may perform the repairs yourself or have
them performed by another automotive
service provider. Toyota will reimburse you
for any of the repairs that are covered by
warranty. To receive reimbursement,
present to an authorized Toyota dealership
your paid repair invoices and any parts
that were removed from the vehicle. You
will be reimbursed for warranted parts at
the manufacturer’s suggested retail price
and warranted labor at a geographically
appropriate hourly rate multiplied by
Toyota’s recommended time allowance
for the repair.
If your vehicle requires emergency repair,
Toyota assumes no liability for subsequent
failures caused by improper repairs or the
use of non-Genuine Toyota Parts unless
you have the vehicle properly repaired
in a timely manner. To ensure that
warranty coverage remains intact, have
your vehicle inspected by an authorized
Toyota dealership as soon as possible
after an emergency repair.

maintenance guidelines and a log in

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.

MAINTAINING YOUR WARRANTY
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 lter
(see the Maintenance Log section of
this booklet to determine how often
you should change your vehicle’s oil
and lter). 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 is 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 is 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.

egular maintenance is essential
to obtaining the highest level of
performance from your Toyota. It
can also increase your vehicle’s resale
value. This booklet presents Toyota’s
maintenance recommendations in
convenient checklists, so you can easily
see what type of maintenance your
vehicle needs and document that the

rst-quality service and parts, Toyota

dealership. Toyota dealership technicians
are experts on Toyota vehicles, and they
use Genuine Toyota Parts designed to

condent that they will use Genuine Toyota
parts and have Toyota-trained technicians.
Miles or Months?
Toyota recommends obtaining scheduled
maintenance for your vehicle every
7,500 miles or seven and a half months,
whichever comes rst.
For example:
• If you drive 7,500 miles in less than
seven and a half months, you should obtain
maintenance at 7,500 miles — don’t wait
until seven and a half months.
• If at seven and a half months you have
driven less than 7,500 miles, you should
obtain maintenance at seven and a half
months — don’t wait until 7,500 miles.
Be sure to keep an eye on your mileage
so that you obtain maintenance when
recommended. If you are a low-mileage
driver, mark your calendar to remind
yourself to obtain maintenance every
six months.
Documenting Your Investment
To help you verify that you’ve invested in
proper maintenance, each maintenance
checklist includes space for your Toyota
dealership to certify that you obtained
Genuine Toyota Service for your vehicle.
The dealership may mark the dealer
service verication area with the following
stamp (which may be customized with the
dealership’s name):
