Scheduled Maintenance Guide
2003 Corolla
and
Corolla Matrix

Your Passport to Performance

egular maintenance is essential to obtaining the highest level of performance from your Toyota. It can also enhance your vehicle’s resale value.
This booklet is designed to help you make sure your vehicle receives
proper and timely maintenance. It includes factory-recommended maintenance guidelines along with information on the extensive maintenance and
repair support available through Toyota and your dealership.

With proper maintenance and care, your vehicle will run better, last longer
and deliver more economical performance. Follow the recommendations in
this Scheduled Maintenance Guide and you’ll enjoy reliability and peace of
mind from your Toyota for many years to come.

Documenting Your Investment
To help you verify that you’ve invested in proper maintenance, each maintenance log in this booklet 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):

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.

Maintenance and Toyota Warranty Coverage

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 failures 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 failures 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 for an explanation of any recommended maintenance not included in the
scheduled maintenance log.
For a complete description of Toyota warranty coverages, see the booklet
entitled 2003 Owner’s Warranty Information located in your vehicle’s
glove box.

Toyota Dealership Service

To ensure that your vehicle receives firstquality service and factory-authorized
parts, Toyota recommends having maintenance performed by an authorized
Toyota dealership.
Toyota dealership technicians are experts
in the maintenance and repair of Toyota
vehicles. They stay current on the latest
service information through Toyota technical bulletins, service publications and
training courses. Many are also certified through the Toyota Certification Program,
which requires completion of Toyota’s specialized, state-of-the-art training as
well as rigorous exams through both Toyota and the National Institute for
Automotive Service Excellence (ASE). Feel free to ask any Toyota dealership to
show you its technicians’ credentials.
You can be confident you’re getting the best possible service for your vehicle
when you take it to a Toyota dealership. Why trust your investment to anything
but a team of highly qualified Toyota specialists?

Genuine Toyota Parts and Accessories

Genuine Toyota Parts
To safeguard the quality, reliability and value of your vehicle, Toyota recommends
using only Genuine Toyota Parts for maintenance and repairs. Like all Toyota
products, Genuine Toyota Parts are built to the highest standards of quality and
performance. They are also designed to fit your vehicle’s exact specifications.
Your Toyota dealership maintains
an extensive inventory of Genuine
Toyota Parts to meet your vehicle
service needs. And because it
is linked electronically to Toyota’s
Parts Distribution Centers, the
dealership has quick access to any
parts it may not have in stock.
When installed by a Toyota dealership, Genuine Toyota Parts (with the exception
of batteries) are warranted for 12 months from date of installation, regardless
of mileage, or the remainder of any applicable New Vehicle Limited Warranty,
whichever provides greater coverage. Selected Toyota replacement parts are covered
by a lifetime warranty (see page 6). Non-Genuine Toyota Parts — and any damage
or failures resulting from their use — are not covered by any Toyota warranty.

Genuine Toyota Remanufactured Parts
Toyota also offers the highest level of quality, fit and performance in selected
remanufactured parts. These parts enable you to economically maintain and
repair your vehicle with Genuine Toyota quality. They also feature the same
warranty coverage as new Genuine Toyota Parts. Available parts range from
alternators to water pumps; ask your Toyota dealership for a complete list
of remanufactured product offerings.
For all your maintenance and repair needs, insist on the quality and peace
of mind you only get with Genuine Toyota Parts.

Toyota Maintenance and Repair Support

Genuine Toyota Parts and Accessories

Genuine Toyota Accessories
When you want to personalize your Toyota vehicle, be sure to do it without
sacrificing Toyota quality and performance. How? By choosing Genuine Toyota
Accessories.
Only Genuine Toyota Accessories are designed and manufactured specifically for
Toyota vehicles. In addition, they undergo rigorous testing to ensure first-rate
quality, precise fit and long-term durability. Aftermarket accessories don’t always
meet these same high standards.
The quality of Genuine Toyota Accessories is also backed by the integrity of a
Toyota warranty. Coverage is for 12 months from date of purchase, regardless of
mileage. If an accessory is installed during the New Vehicle Limited Warranty
period (36 months/36,000 miles), coverage is for the remainder of that period.
See your dealer for details. And remember that Genuine Toyota Accessories can
only be purchased from an authorized Toyota dealership.

Lifetime Guarantee Replacement Parts

Toyota’s confidence in its products and commitment to customer satisfaction are
demonstrated by outstanding warranty coverage — including a lifetime guarantee
on replacement mufflers, exhaust pipes, shock absorbers, struts and strut cartridges. When purchased at and installed by a Toyota dealership, these Genuine
Toyota Parts are guaranteed to the original purchaser for the life of the vehicle.
This includes coverage for parts and labor.
Compare the guarantees offered on these parts by aftermarket repair shops; many
don’t offer the extensive coverage Toyota does. And remember that only Genuine
Toyota Parts are manufactured to your vehicle’s exact specifications. So don’t
compromise: When replacement time comes, count on your Toyota dealer for
quality, performance and the peace of mind that comes with a factory-backed
lifetime guarantee.

TrueStart Batteries

The reputation for quality and reliability was likely a key reason behind your
decision to buy a Toyota. That overall quality is present in each of the components of your car or truck, including the battery. When it’s time for a replacement, your Toyota dealer is the only place to find a battery with the power to
start and operate your vehicle like new.
To maintain the original performance designed into your Toyota, a replacement
battery must meet Toyota’s specifications for Cold Cranking Amps (CCA) and
Reserve Capacity (RC). RC, a specification often not met by aftermarket brands,
supplies the power you need during high-demand conditions such as driving in
heavy traffic. RC is also what gives you the power to operate electronic accessories
with the engine off. By choosing a TrueStart,™ you can be confident your battery
will meet your needs, every day.
Warranty coverage is another important consideration when selecting a battery.
TrueStart™ batteries feature a free replacement period of 24 months or the
remainder of the Toyota New Vehicle Limited Warranty, whichever is longer.
Following the free replacement period, warranty coverage is prorated from
months 25—84 in two simple tiers. See your Toyota dealer for more details.
Don’t entrust your Toyota’s performance to anything less than the best: Genuine
Toyota TrueStart™ Batteries.
WARNING: Battery posts, terminals and related accessories contain lead and
lead compounds, chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer
and reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.

Collision Repair Parts

Insist on Genuine Toyota Quality
If you’re involved in a collision, you want your vehicle to be returned to its preaccident condition when repaired. To maintain your Toyota’s value, it’s important
to make sure it is repaired with Genuine Toyota Parts. Some repair shops and
insurance companies may suggest using imitation or used salvage parts to save
money. However, these parts do not meet Toyota’s high standards for quality, fit
and corrosion resistance. In addition, imitation and used salvage parts are not
covered by any Toyota warranty (see box below).
To maintain the appearance, performance and safety of your Toyota, make sure
only Genuine Toyota Parts are used for collision repairs. Protect your investment
— insist on Genuine Toyota quality.
Toyota warranty coverage remains intact when vehicle repairs are completed
with Genuine Toyota Parts. Toyota warranties do not cover imitation or used
salvage parts or any damage or failures caused by the use of such parts.

In Case of Accident, Be an Informed Owner
Toyota believes customers have the right to choose the types of parts used in the
repair of their vehicles. That’s why Toyota supports full disclosure by repair shops
and insurance companies regarding parts used for collision repair. The following
information is provided to help you understand the differences in the types of
parts that could be used in the repair of your vehicle.

General Information
“Collision repair parts” or “replacement crash parts” are the parts typically
replaced during the repair of a vehicle that has been damaged in a collision.
These parts include exterior sheet metal such as fenders, hoods, doors and
related components; and plastic components such as bumper covers and
lamp assemblies.

Toyota Maintenance and Repair Support

Collision Repair Parts

Warranty Coverage
Warranties for collision repair parts are provided by the manufacturer or distributor of the parts. Warranty coverage varies. Your insurance company or collision
repair facility should provide you with written warranty statements for all parts
used in the repair of your vehicle.

Types of Collision Repair Parts
New original-equipment manufacturer (OEM): Parts that are made by the
vehicle manufacturer or one of its licensees and distributed through its normal
channels. These parts maintain the manufacturer’s vehicle warranty.
Aftermarket or imitation: Parts that are made by companies other than the
vehicle manufacturer or its licensees.
Recycled or used salvage: Used parts and assemblies that have been removed
from another vehicle. There are no systems in place to regulate the quality or
safety of these parts.
Remanufactured: Parts that have been returned to like-new condition through
repair, refurbishing or rebuilding.
Due to the critical nature of Supplemental Restraint Systems (also known as
air bags), Toyota does not support the use of imitation or used parts for their
repair. Only new Genuine Toyota Parts should be used to repair or replace
Supplemental Restraint Systems.

Do-It-Yourself Products

When it’s time to replace key wear items on your vehicle, don’t settle for less
than Genuine Toyota Parts. Available exclusively through Toyota dealerships,
Genuine Toyota Parts meet the highest standards of quality and performance and
are built to exact factory specifications. Here are a few of your vehicle’s components that are particularly subject to wear and some benefits of replacing them
with Genuine Toyota Parts.

Genuine Toyota Iridium Spark Plugs *

• Specially designed to work with your vehicle’s ignition system.
• Feature a smaller center electrode than conventional plugs, which translates
into better performance.

• Made with iridium for maximum durability.
Genuine Toyota Brake Pads

• Friction materials selected for optimum performance when matched with
Toyota brake drums or rotors.

• Precision-machined backing plates allow pads to move freely within the
calipers for smooth, efficient braking.

Genuine Toyota Wiper Inserts

• Cut to match the exact length and shape of your vehicle’s wiper blades for a
proper and secure fit.

• Constructed of compression-molded natural rubber — not synthetic — for
superior wiping performance.

* Always use the right spark plugs for your engine. The wrong plugs can have a
negative impact on fuel economy and overall engine performance.

Toyota offers a complete line of products to help you keep your Toyota looking and
running like new. To safeguard your vehicle’s appearance, you’ll find everything

injector cleaner, brake fluid and silicone spray will help you get the job done.
All of these products are formulated specifically for use with Toyota vehicles, so you
can be confident you’re giving your vehicle the best care possible, inside and out.

Genuine Toyota Antifreeze Coolant

product found in all new Toyotas. You’ll know it by its distinctive red color. It
provides maximum protection and durability without the use of harmful silicates.
And because it’s compatible with non-metallic materials, it helps extend the life
of water-pump seals. Don’t trust your engine to anything less than the best:
Genuine Toyota Long Life Antifreeze Coolant.

Genuine Toyota Motor Oil

performance, reliability and fuel economy. Genuine Toyota Motor Oil is formulated

your engine by always putting the best into it: Genuine Toyota Motor Oil.

Service Agreements and Pre-Paid Maintenance

Extended Service Coverage
Toyota vehicle service agreements provide protection against unexpected repairs
for mechanical breakdown of covered components beyond the factory warranty.*
They also protect you from increases in the cost of covered repairs. In addition,
many plans include benefits such as towing, substitute transportation and travel
protection with lodging and meals.
Because they are factory-backed, Toyota service agreements are accepted at all
Toyota dealerships in the United States and Canada. That means repairs are made
only by factory-trained technicians using Genuine Toyota Parts.
Toyota Financial Services offers several levels of service agreement coverage, each
with a variety of time and mileage options.* * Your Toyota dealer can help you
select the coverage that best meets your needs.

Pre-Paid Maintenance
An excellent way to make sure your Toyota receives the recommended maintenance — and to protect yourself from increases in vehicle service costs — is to
pay for maintenance services in advance.
Toyota Auto Care pre-paid maintenance plans are available for both new and
used vehicles. Benefits include oil-and-filter changes, lubrication of key chassis
parts and a 19-point vehicle inspection at each service interval. In addition, you
receive 24-hour roadside assistance, timed service reminders and a computerized
history of each service visit. The Premium Plan (available for new vehicles) also
includes tire rotations and factory-recommended maintenance at service intervals of 15,000, 30,000 and 45,000 miles.
Toyota Auto Care plans offer two coverage levels as well as several options for
service intervals, time and mileage. Ask your Toyota dealer to help you select
the options that are best for you.

* Vehicle service agreements are offered by Toyota Motor Insurance Services, Inc., dba Toyota Motor
Services Company in certain states. In Florida, offered by Toyota Motor Insurance Company.
* * Toyota Financial Services is a service mark used by Toyota Motor Insurance Services, Inc.

Determining Your Vehicle’s Maintenance Needs

Determining the Proper Maintenance Interval
Depending on your circumstances, you should obtain maintenance for your
Toyota every 5,000 miles or every 7,500 miles. Follow these guidelines to
determine which interval to use.

5,000-Mile Intervals
Use 5,000-mile intervals if you primarily operate your vehicle under any of
the following conditions:

• Driving on unpaved or dusty roads.
• Towing a trailer or using a car-top carrier.
• Repeated trips of less than five miles in temperatures below freezing.
7,500-Mile Intervals
Use 7,500-mile intervals if you primarily operate your vehicle under conditions
other than those listed above.

Following the Maintenance Log Charts
The scheduled maintenance log identifies the maintenance required at each
mileage interval and corresponding time interval based on mileage of 1,250
miles per month. If you drive more than 1,250 miles per month, you should
obtain maintenance at the indicated mileage interval rather than the indicated
time interval.
If you choose 5,000-mile intervals, follow the instructions below the light blue
bars, such as this one:
5,000 Miles or 4 Months

If you choose 7,500-mile intervals, follow the instructions below the dark blue
bars, such as this one:
7,500 Miles or 6 Months

At 15,000-mile increments, the 5,000-mile and 7,500-mile intervals coincide.
Therefore, the colored bars appear together, as in this example:
15,000 Miles or 12 Months
15,000 Miles or 12 Months
