VEHICLE

MAINTENANCE AND

CARE

Your Toyota vehicle has been designed to

for fewer maintenance requirements with

longer service intervals to save both your

time and money. However, each regular

maintenance, as well as day−to−day care,

is more important than ever before to en-

sure smooth, and trouble−free, safe, and

economical drivings.

Scheduled maintenance

The scheduled maintenance items listed in

the ”Owner’s Manual Supplement/Mainte-

nance Schedule” are those required to be

serviced at regular intervals.

For details of your maintenance schedule,

read the separate ”Owner’s Manual Sup-

plement/Maintenance Schedule”.

D Maintenance requirements

D General maintenance

It is the owner’s responsibility to make

sure the specified maintenance, including

general maintenance service, is performed.

Note that both the new vehicle and emis-

sion control system warranties specify that

proper maintenance and care must be per-

formed. See Owner’s Guide, Owner’s

Manual Supplement or Warranty Booklet

for complete warranty information.

It is recommended that any replacement

parts used for maintenance or for the

repair of the emission control system

be Toyota supplied.

D Does your vehicle need

repairing?

The owner may elect to use non−Toyota

supplied parts for replacement pur-

poses without invalidating the emission

control system warranty. However, use

of replacement parts which are not of

equivalent quality may impair the effec-

tiveness of the emission control sys-

tems.

General maintenance

For scheduled maintenance

information, please refer to the

separate ”Owner’s Manual

Supplement/Maintenance

Schedule”.

General maintenance items are those day−

to−day care practices that are important to

your vehicle for proper operation. It is the

owner’s responsibility to insure that the

general maintenance items are performed

regularly.

You may also elect to have mainte-

nance, replacement, or repair of the

emission control devices and system

performed by any automotive repair es-

tablishment or individual without invali-

dating this warranty. See Owner’s

Guide, Owner’s Manual Supplement or

Warranty Booklet for complete warranty

information.

These checks or inspections can be done

either by yourself or a qualified technician,

or if you prefer, your Toyota dealer will be

pleased to do them at a nominal cost.

General maintenance

Listed below are the general maintenance

items that should be performed as fre-

quently as specified. In addition to check-

ing the items listed, if you notice any

unusual noise, smell or vibration, you

should investigate the cause or take your

vehicle to your Toyota dealer or a quali-

fied service shop immediately. It is recom-

mended that any problem you notice be

brought to the attention of your dealer or

the qualified service shop for their advice.

Where to go for service?

If you are a skilled do−it−yourself mechan-

ic, the Toyota service manuals are recom-

mended. Please be aware that do−it−your-

self maintenance can affect your warranty

coverage. See Owner’s Guide, Owner’s

Manual Supplement or Warranty Booklet

for the details.

Toyota technicians are well−trained spe-

cialists and are kept up to date with the

latest service information through technical

bulletins, service tips, and in−dealership

training programs. They learn to work on

Toyotas before they work on your vehicle,

rather than while they are working on it.

You can be confident that your Toyota

dealer’s service department performs the

best job to meet the maintenance require-

ments on your vehicle—reliably and eco-

nomically.

CAUTION

Your copy of the repair order is proof that

all required maintenance has been per-

formed for warranty coverage. And if any

problems should arise with your vehicle

while under warranty, your Toyota dealer

will promptly take care of it. Again, be

sure to keep a copy of the repair order

for any service performed on your Toyota.

Make these checks only where ade-

quate ventilation can be obtained if

you run the engine.

OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE

Items listed below should be performed

from time to time, unless otherwise

specified.

What about do−it−yourself maintenance?

few basic automotive

tools. Simple instructions for how to per-
