REVISION NOTICE
March 4, 2016 Rev1:
e The Warranty Information 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 your dealership’s new car customers.
Customer feedback indicates the following areas deserve special attention when performing PDS:
e Careful inspection for paint chips/scratches and body dents/dings.
e Proper operation of electrical accessories (including interior light, clock, and radio reset).
e Interior cleanliness.
e Proper function of mechanical systems.
Customer retention and proper maintenance of vehicles has been a major focus for Toyota
and
Scion
. 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 9 of
“Final Inspection & Cleaning.”)
A new PDS Check Sheet has been developed for the 2016 model year tC. Some check points
have been added, expanded, or clarified. Bulletins are available for items in bold type.

required service should be performed under warranty. Reimbursement will be managed under the

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
