5-1. Essential Information
Introduction
Be careful not to hurt yourself when inspecting your vehicle, replacing
a tire, or doing some kind of maintenance such as car washing. In par-
ticular, wear thick work gloves such as cotton gloves when touc hing
areas that are difficult to see while inspecting or working on your vehi-
cle. Doing inspections or procedur es with your bare hands could
cause injury.
If you are unsure about any pro cedure this manual describes, we
strongly urge you to have a reliable and qualified service shop per-
form 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 hav e 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 serv ice, 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 outli ned 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 promptl y take
care of it.
This evidence may consist of the following: • The Maintenance Log, found with in the Warranty and Maintenance
Guide, must be completely filled out showing mileage, repair order
number, date for each service, and signed by a qualified automo tive
service technician w ho service vehicles.
• Original copies of repair orders or other receipts that includ e the
mileage and date the vehicle was serviced. Each receipt should be
signed by a qualified automot ive service technician.
• For self maintenance, a statemen t 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 mu st accompany this statement.

Maintenance and Care
Claims against the warranty resulting from lack of maintenance, as
opposed to defective materials o r authorized Toyota workmanship , will
not be honored.
Any auto repair shop using parts equivalent to your Toyota’s or iginal
equipment may perform maintenance. But we recommend that it
always be done by your Toyota dealer using genuine Toyota parts .
Selecting “Maintenance Monitor” enables the system to notify yo u of
your vehicle’s approaching ins pection/servicing period (P. 434).
The malfunction diagnosis connec tor is designed exclusively for con-
necting the specially designed de vice to perform on-board diagnosis.
Do not connect any devices other than the specially designed ma l-
function diagnosis devices for s ervicing. If any device other than the
malfunction diagnosis device is c onnected, it may affect the vehicle’s
electrical devices or lead to da mage such as battery depletion.
If you elect to perform maintenance yourself or have your vehic le serviced at
a location other than your Toyota dealer, Toyota requires that all fluids, parts
and materials must meet Toyota standards for durability and per formance as
described in this manual.
