ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Introduction

Pre-Delivery Service is a critical step in satisfying your dealership's 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 interior light, clock, and radio reset).
• Interior cleanliness.
• Proper function 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 maintenance of their vehicle,
dealers are required to begin installing a first oil change reminder sticker prior to delivery. By doing
this, customers will be reminded to return to your dealership 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 2014 model year Venza. Some check points
have been added, expanded, or clarified. Bulletins are available for items in bold type.
Warranty Policy

If the need for additional repairs or adjustment is noted during the Pre-Delivery Service, the required
service should be performed under warranty. Reimbursement 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 for each repair.
