ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Introduction
Pre-Delivery Service (PDS) is a critical step in satisfying our new car customers. Customer feedback
indicates the following areas deserve special attention when performing PDS :
• Careful inspection for paint chips/scratches and body dents/dings.
• Proper operation of electrical accessories (including interio r light, clock , and radio reset).
• Interior cleanliness.
• Proper fun ction of mechanical systems.
Customer retention and proper maintenance of vehicles has been a major focus for Toyota . To help
remind customers that regular oil changes are essential to the proper ma intenance of their vehicle ,
dealers are required to begin installing a first oil change reminder sticker prior to delivery. By do ing
this, customers will be reminded to return to you r dealersh ip for their first oil change. Your current
oil change reminder sticker may be used. (See PDS Check Sheet item 8 of "Final Inspection &
Cleaning.")
A new PDS Check Sheet has been developed for the 2015 model year Corolla. Some check points
have been added , expanded , or clarified . Bulletins are available for items in bold type.
Warranty Policy
If the need for additiona l repairs or adjustment is noted du ring the Pre-Del ivery Service, the
required service should be perform ed under wa rranty. Reim bursement will be managed under the
warranty policy.
The Warranty Policy and Procedures Manual requires that you maintain the completed PDS
check sheet in the customer's file. If you cannot produce a completed form for each retailed
vehicle upon TMS and/or Region/Distributor audit, the PDS payment amount will be subject to debit.
An additional Repair Order completed in conjunction with normal PDS must have time punch/flags
for service. If multiple repairs are performed , separate time flags must be punched fo r each repair.
