T-SB-0142-14 October 23, 2014 2015 Avalon/Avalon HV Pre-Delivery Service (PDS) Service Category General Section Pre-Delivery Service Market USA Applicability YEAR(S) MODEL(S) 2015 Avalon, Avalon HV 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 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 9 of “Final Inspection & Cleaning.”) A new PDS Check Sheet has been developed for the 2015 model year Avalon. Some check points have been added, expanded, or clarified. Bulletins are available for items in bold type.
