7-2. Maintenance

Maintenance requirements

To ensure safe and economical driving, day-to-day care and reg-

ular maintenance are essential. Toyota recommends the follow-

ing maintenance:

General maintenance

General maintenance should be performed on a daily basis. This can

be done by yourself or by a Toyota dealer.

Scheduled maintenance

● Scheduled maintenance should be performed at specified intervals

according to the maintenance schedule.

The interval for scheduled maintenance is determined by the odometer

reading or the time interval, whichever comes first, shown in the schedule.

Maintenance beyond the last period should be performed at the same

intervals.

● Where to go for maintenance service?

It makes good sense to take your vehicle to your local Toyota dealer for

maintenance service as well as other inspections and repairs.

Toyota technicians are well-trained specialists receiving the latest service

information through technical bulletins, service tips and in-dealership train-

ing programs. They learn to work on Toyota before they work on your vehi-

cle, rather than while they are working on it. Doesn’t that seem like the best

way?

Your Toyota dealer has invested a lot of money in special Toyota tools and

service equipment. It helps them to do the job better and at less cost.

Your Toyota dealer’s service department will perform all of the scheduled

maintenance on your vehicle reliably and economically.

Rubber hoses (for cooling and heater system, brake system and fuel sys-

tem) should be inspected by a qualified technician according to the Toyota

maintenance schedule.

Rubber hoses are particularly important maintenance items. Have any

deteriorated or damaged hoses replaced immediately. Note that rubber

hoses will deteriorate with age, resulting in swelling, chafing or cracking.

215

7-2. Maintenance

Do-it-yourself maintenance

What about do-it-yourself maintenance?

Many of the maintenance items are easy to do yourself if you have a little

mechanical ability and a few basic automotive tools. Simple instructions for

how to perform them are presented in this section.

Note, however, that some maintenance tasks require special tools and

skills. These are best performed by qualified technicians. Even if you are

an experienced do-it-yourself mechanic, we recommend that repairs and

maintenance be conducted by your Toyota dealer who will keep a record of

maintenance on your vehicle. This record could be helpful should you ever

require Warranty Service.

■Does your vehicle need repairs?

Be on the alert for changes in performance and sounds, and visual tip-offs

that indicate service is needed. Some important clues are:

●Engine misses, stumbling or pinging

●Appreciable loss of power

●Strange engine noises

●A fluid leak under the vehicle (However, water dripping from the air condi-

tioning system after use is normal.)

●Change in exhaust sound (This may indicate a dangerous carbon monoxide

leak. Drive with the windows open and have the exhaust system checked

immediately.)

●Flat-looking tires, excessive tire squeal when cornering, uneven tire wear

●Vehicle pulls to one side when driven straight on a level road

●Strange noises related to suspension movement

7

●Loss of brake effectiveness, spongy feeling brake pedal or clutch pedal

(vehicles with a manual transmission), pedal almost touches the floor, vehi-

cle pulls to one side when braking

●Engine coolant temperature continually higher than normal

If you notice any of these clues, take your vehicle to your Toyota dealer as

soon as possible. Your vehicle may need adjustment or repair.

216

7-2. Maintenance

WARNING

■If your vehicle is not properly maintained

Improper maintenance could result in serious damage to the vehicle and

possible death or serious injury.

■Handling of the battery

Battery posts, terminals and related accessories contain lead and lead com-

pounds which are known to cause brain damage. Wash your hands after

handling. (→P. 253)

217

7-2. Maintenance

Scheduled maintenance

Perform maintenance by the schedule as follows:

Maintenance schedule requirements

Your vehicle needs to be serviced in according to the normal

maintenance schedule. (See “Maintenance schedule”.)

If you mainly operate your vehicle under one or more of the spe-

cial operating conditions below, some of the maintenance sched-

ule items need to be serviced more frequently in order to keep

your vehicle in good condition. (See “Additional maintenance

schedule”.)

A. Road Conditions

B. Driving Conditions

1. Heavily loaded

1. Operating on rough or

muddy roads, or roads with

melted snow

vehicle

(Example: Towing a trailer

(vehicles sold in South

Africa), Using a camper,

using a car top carrier, etc.)

2. Operating on dusty roads

(Roads in areas where their

pavement rate is low, or a

cloud of dust often arises

and the air is dry.)

2. Repeated short trips less

than 8 km (5 miles) and out-

side temperatures remain

below freezing (Engine tem-

perature will not reach to

normal temperature)

7

3. Operating on road which

has road salt applied

3. Extensive idling and/or low

speed driving for a long dis-

tance such as police, pro-

fessional/private use like

taxi or door-to-door delivery

use

4. Continuous high speed driv-

ing (80% or more of maxi-

mum vehicle speed) for over

2 hours
