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 are and have always 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 before 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 8 of “Final Inspection and Cleaning.”)
This bulletin contains the PDS procedures which apply specifically to 2021 model year Tacoma
vehicles. A universal PDS Check Sheet that contains PDS steps that apply to all 2021 model year
Toyota vehicles has been developed. To properly perform a complete PDS, you must complete all
procedures contained in this TSB as well as the universal PDS Check Sheet.
In addition, if the vehicle is stored for over 30 days, be sure to follow Long-Term Vehicle
Storage Guidelines.

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.
The Warranty Policy and Procedures Manual requires that you maintain the completed
Check Sheet in the customer’s file. If you cannot produce a completed form for each retailed
vehicle upon TMS and/or Region/Distributor audit, the PDS payment amount will be 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 each repair.

Compass Calibration
Refer to the applicable Repair Manual for the calibration procedure for vehicles equipped with
a compass in the Multi-information Display.
NOTE
 Do NOT perform calibration of the compass in a place where the Earth's magnetic field is subject to
interference (underground parking, under a steel tower, between buildings, roof parking, near a railroad
crossing, near a large vehicle, etc.).
 Do NOT operate electric systems during the calibration (moonroof, power windows, etc.), as they may
interfere with the calibration.
 The dot on the compass display disappears when calibration has been completed.
Tire Pressure Warning System (TPWS) Initialization
Refer to the applicable Repair Manual for the TPWS initialization procedure.
Note the spare tire does NOT have a TPWS sensor.
NOTE
To adjust the tire pressure correctly when the outside temperature is significantly colder than shop
temperature, perform a Health Check using Techstream and select the compensation tire pressure
checkbox. Compensation pressures will display on the Health Check results screen. Adjust the tire
pressure when the tires are cold.
