ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

REVISION NOTICE
February 19, 2020 Rev1:
 The Before Inspection, Functional Operation, and Final Inspection and Cleaning sections have
been updated.
Any previous printed versions of this bulletin should be discarded.

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.



Interior cleanliness.



Proper function of mechanical systems.

Customer retention and proper maintenance of vehicles are and always have been a major focus
for Toyota. To help remind customers that regular service is essential to the proper maintenance of
the vehicle, dealers are required to install a service reminder sticker prior to delivery. By doing this,
customers will be reminded to return to your dealership for service. Your current service reminder
sticker may be used. (See PDS Check Sheet item 10 of “Final Inspection and Cleaning.”)
A PDS Check Sheet has been developed for the 2020 model year 4Runner. 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 PDS, the required service should
be performed under warranty. Reimbursement will be managed under the warranty policy.

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.
