Timed perfectly to coincide with the ongoing monsoon season, this month-long program is aimed at offering preventive maintenance and ensuring a safe and hassle-free driving experience for Toyota owners during the rainy season.

In light of these conditions, Toyota's campaign is focused on preventive care to maintain optimal performance. The initiative promises timely diagnostics and special benefits tailored to enhance vehicle reliability and passenger safety. As part of the campaign, Toyota is offering a complimentary 20-point vehicle check-up, which will include essential inspections such as battery health and tyre condition—two crucial factors that directly impact safety during wet weather.

'It's about ensuring our customers enjoy a worry-free driving experience even during challenging weather conditions,' he noted. In addition to the service benefits, Toyota is also encouraging motorists to adopt monsoon-safe driving practices. These include: Regular inspection of wiper blades, brake systems, and lights Maintaining optimal tyre pressure and tread depth Avoiding roads with standing water Keeping emergency tools like flashlights and rain gear within reach Toyota continues to offer a wide range of vehicles in the Indian market. The lineup includes robust models such as the Innova Hycross, Fortuner Legender, Hilux, and Innova Crysta, as well as luxury offerings like the Camry, Vellfire, and Land Cruiser 300.
