ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

REVISION NOTICE
September 4, 2013 Rev1:
• The Functional Operation Section has 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 (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 11 of “Final Inspection &
Cleaning.”)
A new PDS Check Sheet has been developed for the 2014 model year 4Runner. Some check points
have been added, expanded, or clarified. Bulletins are available for items in bold type.
