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 expe rtise 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 pr operly maintain your vehicle according to fac-
tory recommended schedul es 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 automot ive service technician.
• For self maintenance, a statemen t that you completed the mainte-
nance yourself, displaying mileag e and the date the work was per-
formed. Also, receipts for the replac ement 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 or authorized Toyota workmanship, will
not be honored.
Any auto repair shop using parts equivalent to your Toyota’s original
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 you of
your vehicle’s approaching inspection/servicing period (→P. 414).
If you elect to perform maintenance yourself or have your vehicle serviced at
a location other than your Toyota dealer, Toyota requires that all fluids, parts
and materials must meet Toyota standards for durability and performance as
described in this manual.

WARNING
■Do not perform maintenance work if you lack sufficient knowledge and
experience or the proper tools an d equipment to do the work. Have
maintenance work done by a qualified technician
Performing maintenance work on a vehicle is dangerous if not done prop-
erly. You can be seriously injured while performing some maintenance pro-
cedures.
■ If you must run the engine while working under the hood, make certain
that you remove all jewelry (especially rings, bracelets, watches, and
necklaces) and all neckties, scarves, and similar loose clothing before
getting near the engine or coolin g fan which may turn on unexpectedly
Working under the hood with the engine running is dangerous. It becomes
even more dangerous when you wear jewelry or loose clothing.

before attempting to work near the cooling fan
Working near the cooling fan when it is running is dangerous. The fan could
continue running indefinitely even if the engine has stopped and the engine
compartment temperature is high. You could be hit by the fan and seriously
injured.
■ Do not leave items in th e engine compartment
After you have finished checking or doing servicing in the engine compart-
ment, do not forget and leave items such as tools or rags in the engine com-
partment.
