iiMaintenance 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 yourmaintenance records to
the new owner.
Toyota will not deny a warranty claim solely because you do nothave records
to show that you maintained your vehicle. However, damage or failures 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 failures 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 for an explanation of any recommended maintenance not included in the
scheduled maintenance log.
For a complete description of Toyota warranty coverages, see the booklet
entitled 2004 Owner’s Warranty Informationlocated in your vehicle’s
glove box.

Scheduled Maintenance Logs3
Following the Charts
The scheduled maintenance log identifies the maintenance required at each
mileage interval and corresponding time interval based on mileage of approxi-
mately 833 miles per month. If you drive more than 833 miles per month, you
should obtain maintenance at the indicated mileage interval rather than the
indicated time interval.
The maintenance log charts are colored differently for cars and SUVs/trucks. Charts
for cars have darkblue bars and charts for SUVs/trucks have gold bars. Be sure to
follow the appropriate charts for your vehicle.
