Special Operating Conditions - Toyota Tacoma 2011 Warranty & Maintenance Manual

Using the Maintenance Log Charts

Special Operating Conditions

In addition to standard maintenance items,
the maintenance log indicates services that
should be performed on vehicles that are
driven under especially demanding
conditions. These "special operating
conditions" and their required maintenance
items are clearly indicated in each chart.
NOTE: You should perform these
additional maintenance services if you
drive primarily under any of the special
operating conditions indicated. If you
drive only occasionally under these
conditions, it is not necessary to
perform the additional services.

Additional Maintenance
In addition to scheduled maintenance,
your Toyota requires ongoing general
maintenance such as fluid checks and
visual inspections. These procedures are
explained in the Vehicle Maintenance and
Care section of the Owner's Manual. Be
sure to perform these procedures regularly
to ensure the most trouble-free operation
of your vehicle.
