Maintenance requirements

To ensure safe and economical driving, day-to-day care and regular maintenance is essential. Toyota recommends the following maintenance.

  •  General maintenance

     

General maintenance should be performed on a daily basis.

This can be done by yourself or by a Toyota dealer.

  •  Scheduled maintenance

     

Scheduled maintenance should be performed at specified intervals according to the maintenance schedule.

For details about maintenance items and schedules, refer to the “Scheduled Maintenance Guide” or “Owner’s Manual Supplement”.

  •  Do-it-yourself maintenan

    ce

You can perform some maintenance procedures yourself.

Please be aware that do-it-yourself maintenance may affect warranty coverage.

The use of Toyota Repair Manuals is recommended.

For details about warranty coverage, see the “Owner’s Warranty Information Booklet” or “Owner’s Manual Supplement”.

  • Repair and replacement

     

It is recommended that genuine Toyota parts be used for repair to ensure performance of each system. If non-Toyota parts are used in replacement or if a repair shop other than a Toyota dealer performs repairs, confirm the warranty coverage.

  • Reset the maintenance data

     

After the required maintenance is performed according to the maintenance schedule, please reset the maintenance data.

To reset the data, follow the procedures described below: STEP 1

Switch the display to the trip meter A when the engine is running.

STEP 2

Turn the “ENGINE START STOP” switch OFF.

STEP 3

While pressing the trip meter reset button, set the “ENGINE START STOP” switch to IGNITION ON mode (but do not start the engine because otherwise the reset mode will be canceled). Continue to press and hold the button until the multi-information display indicates that the reset is complete.

  • Allow inspection and repairs to be performed by a Toyota dealer

     

  • Toyota technicians are well-trained specialists and are kept up to date with the latest service information. They are well informed about the operations of all systems on your vehicle.
  • Keep a copy of the repair order. It proves that the maintenance that has been performed is under warranty coverage. If any problem should arise while your vehicle is under warranty, your Toyota dealer will promptly take care of it.
CAUTION

 

  • If your vehicle is not properly maintained

     

Improper maintenance could result in serious damage to the vehicle and possible death or serious injury.
