Maintenance requirements
Your Toyota vehicle has been designed for
fewer maintenance requirements with long-
er service intervals to save both your time
and money. However, each regular mainte-
nance, as well as day- to- day care, is
more important than ever before to ensure
smooth, trouble- free, safe, and economical
driving.
It is the owner’s responsibility to make
sure the specified maintenance, including
general maintenance service, is performed.
General maintenance
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 ensure that the
general maintenance items are performed
regularly.
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.
Scheduled maintenance
The scheduled maintenance items listed in
the “Toyota maintenance schedule” on
page 144 are those required to be serv-
iced at regular intervals.
For details of your maintenance schedule,
read the “Toyota maintenance schedule”
on page 144.
Regular maintenance is essential.

tions
Your Toyota has been designed for eco-
nomical driving and economical mainte-
nance. Many formerly required mainte-
nance items are no longer required or are

vehicle runs at peak efficiency, follow the
maintenance schedule.
