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 touching
areas that are difficult to see while inspecting or working on your vehi-
cle. Doing inspections or procedures with your bare hands could
cause injury.
If you are unsure about any procedure 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 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.
