Miles or Months?
Scion recommends obtaining
scheduled maintenance for your vehicle
every 5,000 miles or six months,
whichever comes first.
For example:
>If you drive 5,000 miles in less than
six months, you should obtain
maintenance at5,000 miles- don’t
wait until six months.
>If at six months you have driven less
than 5,000 miles, you should obtain
maintenance at six months- don’t
wait until 5,000 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.

items, the maintenance log indicates
