Maintaining Your Warranty IMPORTANT MAINTENANCE INFORMATION It is especially important to both routinely check your vehicle's engine oil level (once a month) and regularly replace the engine oil and oil filter (see the Maintenance Log section of this booklet to determine how often you should change your vehicle's oil and filter). Failure to do so can cause oil starvation and or oil gelling, which can result in severe damage to your vehicle and require costly repairs that are not covered by the New Vehicle Limited Warranty. Maintenance Providers Maintenance and repair services may be performed by you or by any automotive service provider you choose. Toyota will not deny a warranty claim solely because you used a service provider other than a Toyota dealership for maintenance and repairs. However, damage or failure caused by improper maintenance or repairs are not covered under warranty. Dealer-Recommended Maintenance Your dealer may recommend more frequent maintenance intervals or more maintenance services than those listed in the scheduled maintenance log. These additional services are not required to maintain your warranty coverage. Ask your dealer to explain any recommended maintenance not included in the scheduled maintenance log. For a complete description of Toyota warranty coverages, see the Warranty Information portion of this booklet. Maintenance Records Maintaining your vehicle according to the recommendations in this booklet is required to ensure that your warranty coverage remains intact. You should keep detailed records of vehicle maintenance, including date of service, mileage at time of service and a description of service and/or parts installation performed. The scheduled maintenance log in this booklet can help you document this information. If you sell your vehicle, be sure to give your maintenance records to the new owner. Toyota will not deny a warranty claim solely because you do not have records to show that you maintained your vehicle. However, damage or failure caused by lack of proper maintenance are not covered under warranty. MAINTENANCE Maintenance Log 35
