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 2016 model year Avalon/Avalon HV. Some
check points have been added, expanded, or clarified. Bulletins are available for items in
bold type.
