7-2.Maintenance
Scheduled maintenance should
be performed at specified inter-
vals according to the mainte-
nance schedule.
The interval for scheduled maintenance
is determined by the odometer reading
or the time interval, whichever comes
first, shown in the schedule.
Maintenance beyond the last period
should be performed at the same inter-
vals.
Where to go for the maintenance
service?
It makes good sense to take your vehi-
cle to your local Toyota dealer for the
maintenance service as well as other
inspections and repairs.
Toyota technicians are well-trained spe-
cialists receiving the latest service infor-
mation through technical bulletins,
service tips and in-dealership training
programs. They learn to work on Toyota
before they work on your vehicle, rather
than while they are working on it.
Doesn’t that seem like the best way?
Your Toyota dealer has invested a lot of
money in special Toyota tools and ser-
vice equipment. It helps them to do the
job better and at less cost.
Your Toyota dealer’s service depart-
ment will perform all of the scheduled
maintenance on your vehicle reliably
and economically.
Rubber hoses (for cooling and heater
system, brake system and fuel system)
should be inspected by a qualified tech-
nician according to the Toyota mainte-
nance schedule.
Rubber hoses are particularly important
maintenance items. Have any deterio-
rated or damaged hoses replaced
immediately. Note that rubber hoses
will deteriorate with age, resulting in
swelling, chafing or cracking.
What about do-it-yourself mainte-
nance?
Many of the maintenance items are
easy to do yourself if you have a little
mechanical ability and a few basic
automotive tools.
Simple instructions for how to perform
them are presented in this section.
Note, however, that some maintenance
tasks require special tools and skills.
These are best performed by qualified
technicians. Even if you are an experi-

To ensure safe and economical
