Where to go for the maintenance service?
In order to maintain your vehicle in the best possible condition, Toyota recom-
mends that all repairs and service operations be carried out by authorized
Toyota retailers or Toyota authorized repairers, or any reliable repairers. For
repairs and services covered by your warranty, please visit an authorized
Toyota retailer or repairer, who will use genuine Toyota parts in repairing any
difficulties you may encounter. There can also be advantages in utilizing
authorized Toyota retailers or repairers for non-warranty repairs and services,
as members of the Toyota network will be able to expertly assist you with any
difficulties you may encounter.
Your Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer will
perform all of the scheduled maintenance on your vehicle reliably and eco-
nomically due to their experience with Toyota vehicles.

●
A fluid leak under the vehicle (However, water dripping from the air condi-
tioning system after use is normal.)

leak. Drive with the windows open and have the exhaust system checked
immediately.)
●
Flat-looking tires, excessive tire squeal when cornering, uneven tire wear
●
Vehicle pulls to one side when driven straight on a level road
●
Strange noises related to suspension movement
●

sible. Your vehicle may need adjustment or repair.
