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 that apply specifically to 2024 model year Grand
Highlander and Grand Highlander Hybrid vehicles. A universal PDS Check Sheet that contains
PDS steps that apply to all 2024 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.

necessary to set the ACC customization function in the navigation display to OFF.
1. Turn the engine switch (power switch) to the ON position (ON mode).
2. Enter the following menus: Settings – Vehicle Customization – Utility – ACC Customize.
3. Change the setting to OFF (toggle at left with gray background).
