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 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 booklet entitled

2008

Owner’s Warranty Information

located in your vehicle’s glove box.

MAINTAINING YOUR WARRANTY

2008 Scheduled Maintenance Guide

RAV4

Regular maintenance is essential to obtaining the highest level of performance from your

Toyota. It can also increase your vehicle’s resale value. This booklet presents Toyota’s

maintenance recommendations in convenient checklists, so you can easily see what type of

maintenance your vehicle needs and document that the work was performed.

To ensure that your vehicle receives first-quality service and parts, Toyota recommends

having maintenance performed by an authorized Toyota dealership. Toyota dealership

technicians are experts on Toyota vehicles, and they use Genuine Toyota Parts designed to

your vehicle’s exact specifications. When you go to a Toyota dealership, you can be

confident that they will use Genuine Toyota parts and have Toyota-trained technicians. 

MILES OR MONTHS?

Toyota recommends obtaining scheduled maintenance for your vehicle every 5,000 miles

or six months, whichever comes first.

For example:

•If you drive 5,000 miles in less than six months, you should obtain maintenance at

5,000 miles - don’t wait until six months.

•If at six months you have driven less than 5,000 miles, you should obtain maintenance

at six months - don’t wait until 5,000 miles.

Be sure to keep an eye on your mileage so that you obtain maintenance when

recommended. If you are a low-mileage driver, mark your calendar to remind yourself to

obtain maintenance every six months. 

DOCUMENTING YOUR INVESTMENT

To help you verify that you’ve invested in proper maintenance,

each maintenance checklist includes space for your Toyota

dealership to certify that you obtained Genuine Toyota Service

for your vehicle. The dealership will mark the dealer service

verification area with the following stamp (which may be

customized with the dealership’s name):

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 if you drive

primarily

under

any of the special operating conditions indicated. If you drive only occasionally under

these conditions, it is not necessary to perform the additional services.



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 ⬙Vehicle

Maintenance and Care⬙section of the

Owner’s Manual.

Be sure to perform these

procedures regularly to ensure the most trouble-free operation of your vehicle.
