INTRODUCTION2
The Importance of Scheduled Maintenance
egular maintenance is essential to obtaining the highest
level of performance, safety and reliability from your
Toyota. It can also enhance your vehicle’s resale value.
This booklet is designed to help you make sure your vehicle
receives proper and timely maintenance. It includes factory-
recommended maintenance guidelines along with information
on the extensive maintenance and repair support available
through Toyota and your dealership. You’ ll also find space to
document your vehicle’s maintenance history.
In addition to scheduled maintenance, your Toyota requires
ongoing general maintenance such as fluid checks and periodic
visual inspections. These procedures are explained under the
“ General Maintenance ” heading in the “ Vehicle Maintenance
and Care ” section of the
Owner’s Manual. Be sure to follow
these guidelines carefully to ensure the most trouble- free
operation of your vehicle.With proper maintenance and care, your vehicle will last
longer and deliver more dependable, economical performance.
Follow this booklet’s recommendations and you’ ll enjoy maxi-
mum reliability and peace of mind from your Toyota for many
years to come.

Maintenance & Toyota Warranty Coverage
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 ser-
vice and a description of service and/or parts installation
performed. The scheduled maintenance log in this booklet is a
good place to record 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 failures caused by lack of proper mainte-
nance are not covered under warranty.
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 mainte-
nance or repairs are not covered under warranty.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 expla-
nation of any recommended maintenance not included in the
scheduled maintenance log.
For a complete description of Toyota warranty coverages,
see the booklet entitled
2001 Owner’s Warranty
Information
in your vehicle’s glove box.

Toyota Dealership Service

To ensure that your vehicle receives first- quality service and
factory- authorized parts, Toyota recommends having mainte-
nance performed by an authorized Toyota dealership.
Toyota dealership technicians are experts in the maintenance and
repair of Toyota vehicles. They stay current on the latest service
information through Toyota technical bulletins, service publica-
tions and training courses. Many are also certified through the
Toyota Certified Technician Program, which requires completion
of Toyota’s specialized, state- of- the- art training as well as rigorous
exams through both Toyota and the National Institute for
Automotive Service Excellence. Feel free to ask any Toyota
dealership to show you its technicians’ credentials.
You can be confident you’re getting the best possible service for
your vehicle when you take it to a Toyota dealership. Why trust
your investment to anything but a team of highly qualified
Toyota specialists?

TOYOTA MAINTENANCE & REPAIR SUPPORT5

lube shop

tee: in 29 minutes or less from the time of write- up, a complete
oil- and- filter change using Genuine Toyota Parts along with a

Toyota dealership. You’ ll be waited on promptly and your
oil- and- filter change will be done while you wait. Express Lube

competitively with franchised quick- lube centers.

Genuine Toyota Parts & Accessories

To safeguard the quality, reliability and value of your vehicle,
Toyota recommends using only Genuine Toyota Parts for
maintenance and repairs. Like all Toyota products, Genuine
Toyota Parts are built to the highest standards of quality and
performance. They are also designed to fit your vehicle’s exact
specifications.
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.
When installed by a Toyota dealership, Genuine Toyota Parts
(with the exception of batteries) are warranted for 12 months
from the date of installation, regardless of mileage, or the re-
mainder of any applicable New Vehicle Limited Warranty,
whichever provides greater coverage. Selected Toyota replace-
ment parts are covered by a lifetime warranty (see page 8).
Non- Genuine Toyota Parts — and any damage or failures result-
ing from their use — are not covered by any Toyota warranty.For all your maintenance and repair needs, insist on the quality
and peace of mind you only get with Genuine Toyota Parts.

Genuine Toyota Parts & Accessories
TOYOTA MAINTENANCE & REPAIR SUPPORT7
When you want to personalize your Toyota vehicle, be sure
to do it without sacrificing Toyota quality and performance.
How? By choosing Genuine Toyota Accessories.
Only Genuine Toyota Accessories are designed and manufac-
tured specifically for Toyota vehicles. In addition, they undergo
rigorous testing to ensure first- rate quality, precise fit and long-
term durability. Aftermarket accessories don’ t always meet
these same high standards.
The quality of Genuine Toyota Accessories is also backed by
the integrity of a Toyota warranty. Coverage is for 12 months
from date of purchase, regardless of mileage. If the accessory is
installed at the time of new- vehicle purchase, coverage is extend-
ed to 36 months/36,000 miles. See your dealer for details. And
remember that Genuine Toyota Accessories can only be pur-
chased from an authorized Toyota dealership.

Lifetime Guarantee Replacement Parts

Toyota’s confidence in its products and commitment to cus-
tomer satisfaction are demonstrated by outstanding warranty
coverage — including a lifetime guarantee on replacement
mufflers, exhaust pipes, shock absorbers, struts and strut
cartridges. When purchased at and installed by a Toyota dealer-
ship, these Genuine Toyota Parts are guaranteed to the original
purchaser for the life of the vehicle. This includes coverage for
parts
and labor.
Compare the guarantees offered on these parts by aftermarket
repair shops — many don’ t offer the extensive coverage Toyota
does. And remember that only Genuine Toyota Parts are manu-
factured to your vehicle’s exact specifications. So don’ t com-
promise; when replacement time comes, count on your Toyota
dealer for quality, performance and the peace of mind that
comes with a factory- backed lifetime guarantee.
For complete details of the Toyota Lifetime Guarantee, see an authorized
Toyota dealer.

TrueStart Batteries
TOYOTA MAINTENANCE & REPAIR SUPPORT9
The reputation for quality and reliability was likely a key
reason behind your decision to buy a Toyota. That overall
quality is present in each of the components of your car or
truck, including the battery. When it’s time for a replacement,
your Toyota dealer is the only place to find a battery with the
power to start and operate your vehicle like new.
To maintain the original performance designed into your Toyota,
a replacement battery must meet Toyota’s specifications for
Cold Cranking Amps (CCA) and Reserve Capacity (RC).
RC, a specification often not met by aftermarket brands, sup-
plies the power you need during high- demand conditions such
as driving in heavy traffic. RC is also what gives you the power
to operate electronic accessories with the engine off. By choos-
ing a TrueStart,™ you can be confident your battery will meet
your needs, every day.
Warranty coverage is another important consideration when
selecting a replacement battery. TrueStart™ batteries feature a
free replacement period of 18 months (regardless of mileage)
or the remainder of the Toyota New Vehicle Limited Warranty,whichever is longer. Following the free replacement period, war-
ranty coverage is prorated based on the battery’s time in use. See
your Toyota dealer for more details.
Don’ t entrust your Toyota’s performance to anything less than
the best: Genuine Toyota TrueStart™ Batteries.
WARNING: Battery posts, terminals and related acces-
sories contain lead and lead compounds, chemicals known
to the State of California to cause cancer and reproductive
harm.
Wash hands after handling.
