5-1. Essential Information
Introduction
Be extremely careful and prevent injury to yourself and others or dam-
age to your vehicle when using this manual for inspection and mainte-
nance.
If you are unsure about any procedure it describes, we strongly urge
you to have a reliable and qualified service shop perform the work,
preferably your Toyota dealer.
Factory-trained Toyota technicians and genuine Toyota parts are best
for your vehicle. Without this expertise and the parts that have been
designed and made especially for your Toyota, inadequate, incom-
plete, and insufficient servicing may result in problems. This could
lead to vehicle damage or an accident and injuries.
For expert advice and quality service, consult your Toyota dealer.
To continue warranty eligibility and to protect your investment, it is
your responsibility to properly maintain your vehicle according to fac-
tory recommended schedules outlined in this manual. Keep a copy of
the repair order. It proves that the maintenance that has been per-
formed is under warranty coverage. If any problem should arise while
your vehicle is under warranty, your Toyota dealer will promptly take
care of it.
This evidence may consist of the following:
●The Maintenance Log, found within the Warranty and Maintenance
Guide, must be completely filled out showing mileage, repair order
number, date for each service, and signed by a qualified automotive
service technician who service vehicles.
● Original copies of repair orders or other receipts that include the
mileage and date the vehicle was serviced. Each receipt should be
signed by a qualified automotive service technician.
● For self maintenance, a statement that you completed the mainte-
nance yourself, displaying mileage and the date the work was per-
formed. Also, receipts for the replacement parts (fluid, filters, etc.)
indicating the date and mileage must accompany this statement.
