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 interior light, clock, and radio reset).
Interior cleanliness.
Proper function of mechanical systems.

Customer retention and proper maintenance of vehicles are and have always 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 install 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 9 of
“Final Inspection and Cleaning.”)
A new PDS Check Sheet has been developed for the 2018 model year Land Cruiser. 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 PDS, 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.
