4-2. Maintenance
Maintenance requirements
To ensure safe and economical driving, day-to-day care and regular
maintenance are essential. Toyota recommends performing the fol-
lowing maintenance:
■ Scheduled maintenance
Scheduled maintenance should be performed at specified inter-
vals according to the maintenance schedule.
For full details of your maintenance schedule, refer to the “Warranty
and Service Booklet”.
■ Do-it-yourself maintenance
What about do-it-yourself maintenance?
Many maintenance items are easy to do yourself if you have a little
mechanical ability and a few basic automotive tools.
Note, however, that some maintenance tasks require special tools
and skills. These are best performed by qualified technicians. Even if
you are an experienced do-it-yourself mechanic, we recommend that
repairs and maintenance be conducted by your Toyota dealer who will
keep a record of maintenance on your vehicle. This record could be
helpful should you ever require Warranty Service.
