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 only if the majority of your driving is done under the special operating conditions indicated. If you only occasionally drive under these circumstances, it is not necessary to perform the additional services. SuperChrome and Alloy Wheel Care If you purchased genuine Toyota accessory Aluminum Alloy Wheels, follow these cleaning guidelines to maintain the appearance of your alloy wheels: • If wheels are hot, wait for them to cool before washing. • Use a soft sponge or cotton cloth to apply the same mild car-wash soap as used for the vehicle body. Quickly rinse off with water. Use a soft cloth to apply the same car wax as used for the vehicle body. • DO NOT USE: Any kind of chemical based cleaners, alcohol, solvents, gasoline, steam cleaners, scouring pads, wire brushes, or coarse abrasives to clean your wheels. Engine Oil Selection Please refer to your Owner's Manual for the specific oil viscosity rating recommended for your vehicle/engine type. 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 ЉVehicle Maintenance and CareЉ section of the Owner's Manual. Be sure to perform these procedures regularly to ensure the most trouble-free operation of your vehicle. MAINTENANCE Maintenance Log 37
