To ensure safe and economical driving, day-to-day care and regular maintenance are essential. It is the owner’s responsibility to perform regular checks. Toyota recommends the following 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.
For details about maintenance items and schedules, refer to the “scheduled maintenance guide” or “owner’s manual supplement”.
Do-it-yourself maintenance
You can perform some maintenance procedures by yourself.
Please be aware that do-it-yourself maintenance may affect warranty coverage.
The use of toyota repair manuals is recommended.
For details about warranty coverage, see the separate “owner’s warranty information booklet” or “owner’s manual supplement”.
Repair and replacement
It is recommended that genuine toyota parts be used for repairs to ensure performance of each system. If non-toyota parts are used in replacement or if a repair shop other than a toyota dealer performs repairs, confirm the warranty coverage.
