Scheduled maintenance

Scheduled maintenance should be performed at specified inter-

vals according to the maintenance schedule.

For full details of your maintenance schedule, read the "Toyota

Service Booklet" or "Toyota Warranty Booklet".

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

dealer or repairer, or another duly qualified and equipped profes-

sional. Any authorized Toyota dealer 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 profes-

sional other than an authorized Toyota repairer to service or maintain

your vehicle, we recommend that you request that a record of mainte-

nance be kept.
