SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE
Additional Maintenance Items for
“Special Operating Conditions”
To assist you in getting the greatest owner-
ship value from your Toyota, the Scheduled
Maintenance Log separates the basic main-
tenance item requirements for most
vehicles from the additional maintenance
item requirements for vehicles that operate
under more demanding “Special Operating
Conditions.”
For the majority of owners who operate
their Toyotas for personal use under nor-
mal conditions, the basic maintenance
items listed in the upper section of the
maintenance box should provide all the
maintenance your Toyota needs. If you
operate your Toyota
primarily
in any of
the more demanding “Special Operating
Conditions” listed in the next column, you
should have the additional maintenance
items indicated in the maintenance box
performed on your Toyota. If you only
occasionally
operate your vehicle under
these conditions, it is
not
necessary to per-
form the additional maintenance items.
Note:
If you meet the requirements for
7,500-mile oil change intervals as indicated in
the previous section, your Toyota should
not
require the additional maintenance items.
Special Operating Conditions:
1. Towing a trailer or using a camper or car-
top carrier.
2. Repeated short trips of less than five
miles in temperatures below freezing.
3. Extensive idling or low-speed driving for
long distances as in heavy commercial
use such as delivery, taxi, or patrol car.
4. Operating on rough, muddy, or salt-
covered roads.
5. Operating on unpaved or dusty roads.
Note: Whenever you drive off-road
through deep sand, mud, or water,
check the following items daily and
perform maintenance or repair as
required: (4Runner, RAV4, Tacoma
