Maintenance requirements

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

ular maintenance are essential. Toyota recommends the follow-

ing maintenance:

Scheduled maintenance

Scheduled maintenance should be performed at specified intervals

according to the maintenance schedule.

For full details of your maintenance schedule, refer to the “Toyota Service

Booklet” or “Toyota Warranty Booklet”.

Do-it-yourself maintenance

What about do-it-yourself maintenance?

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

mechanical ability and a few basic automotive tools.

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

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

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

maintenance be conducted by any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota

authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer. Any authorized Toyota retailer

or repairer will keep a record of maintenance, which could be useful should

you ever require Warranty Service. Should you choose to select a qualified

and equipped professional other than an authorized Toyota repairer to ser-

vice or maintain your vehicle, we recommend that you request that a

record of maintenance be kept.

478

7-2. Maintenance

■ Where to go for maintenance service?

In order to maintain your vehicle in the best possible condition, Toyota recom-

mends that maintenance service operations as well as other inspections and

repairs be carried out by authorized Toyota retailers or Toyota authorized

repairers, or any reliable repairers. For repairs and services covered by your

warranty, please visit an authorized Toyota retailer or repairer, who will use

genuine Toyota parts in repairing any difficulties you may encounter. There

can also be advantages in utilizing authorized Toyota retailers or repairers for

non-warranty repairs and services, as members of the Toyota network will be

able to expertly assist you with any difficulties you may encounter.

Your Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer will

perform all of the scheduled maintenance on your vehicle reliably and eco-

nomically due to their experience with Toyota vehicles.

■ 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 missing, 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

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

pedal almost touches the floor, vehicle pulls to one side when braking

● Engine coolant temperature continually higher than normal

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

retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer as soon as pos-

sible. Your vehicle may need adjustment or repair.
