HELPFUL QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Are tyres covered by the Toyota New Vehicle Warranty?
Tyres are covered by the tyre manufacturer's warranty. See What
Is Not Covered By Your Toyota New Vehicle Warranty in this
Section.
I've just taken ownership of a used Prius. What do I do?
Firstly, take your vehicle to a Toyota Prius Service Centre to give it
a comprehensive safety check. That way any potential problems
can be rectified immediately. Then simply keep your vehicle
serviced according to the Maintenance Schedule in this book.
Please ensure that your Toyota Prius Service Centre provides
updated information to Toyota Motor Corporation Australia via the
'Owner Information Change Form', at the back of this book.
Where do I go for service after the Warranty Period
expires?
If you've had your Prius serviced by your Toyota Prius Service Centre
for the length of its warranty you'll no doubt find that it is in
excellent condition. So, why would you risk going elsewhere now?
After all, only your Toyota Prius Service Centre has the facilities and
the qualified Prius technicians to keep your Prius in the best
condition.
Section 1 – 12
If I leave a long time between services, will this impact my
Toyota New Vehicle Warranty?
You must service your Prius according to the Maintenance Schedule
in Section 2 of this book. Your Toyota New Vehicle Warranty does
not cover damage caused by inadequate maintenance.
Service intervals are for a given distance or period of time,
whichever occurs first.
Even if you don't drive far enough to cover the distance between
service intervals, your Prius should still be serviced according to the
time period shown on the schedule. Regular maintenance is vital to
maintain the performance and longevity of your Prius.
If I have an accident, is my Prius covered by the Toyota
New Vehicle Warranty?
Unless the accident is caused by the failure of a warranted part,
your Prius is not covered.
What if I'm travelling and need a service or repair?
Whether it's a scheduled service or an unexpected repair, every
Toyota Prius Service Centre in Australia is authorised to service
your Toyota. Refer to the Nationwide Toyota Prius Service Centres
directory in Section 3 of this book.
