WHMTY FPUE PRESS, WEDNESDAY, -JANUARY 18, 1989, PAGE 17 Al-mround improvement in Toyota The new range of 1989 Toyotas will look better, last longer and deliver more driving pleasure than ever before, says Susumu Yanagisawa, president of Toyota Canada Ic. "Usable technology has made Toyota a leader in advanced automotive engineering for many years and our 1989 cars and trucks are no exception" says Yanagisawa. The totally redesigned Cressida luxury sedan, and both 2-wheel drive (4X2) and 4-wheel drive (4X4) trucks aIl feature major restyles I addition, the Supra, Toyota's premier sports car, has received a minorfaeftwh revised front and rear styling, including a new rear spoiler on Supra Turbo. The introduction of totally new truck and Cressida series coincides with the increased use of corrosion resistant galvannealed steel. The anti-rust properties of this relatively new material first saw major usage in 1987 on Camry and Tercel and in 1988 on Corolla. The latest 1989 Toyota lineup sees the broadened availability of full-timne, 4-wheel drive on models as diverse as the Camry Sedan, Corolla Sedan and Wagon and the Celica Turbo sports car. I its most advanced form, Toyota full-time, 4-wheel drive employs a sophisticated viscous coupling controlled centre differential which automatically redistributes power in the event that one or more wheels starts to spin due te, loss of traction. Fuil-time 4-wheel drive became available on the 1988 Toyota Celica Turbo, Carnry and Corolla Wagon. For 1989, full-tiine 4-wheel drive will also be available on Corolla Sedan. The antilock braking systemn (ABS) has been standard equipment on Supra Turbo since 1987 and Celica Turbo since 1988. For 1989, ABS will be standard equipment on Supra Turbo, Celica Turbo and the all-new Cressida. In addition, ABS will be available as optional equipment on the non-Turbo, Supra, the front-wheel drive Celica GT-S as well as Camry LE V6 and 4WD Todels. Toyotas for sale in Canada also receive special treatment to improve their performance in severe Canadian driving conditions. The ravages of winter can be reduced by items such as a heavy duty starter, windshield wiper motor, alternator, battery and heater, ail standard equipment on Canadian Toyotas. In addition, ail -season tires are standard on ail models except Tercel "S" and Sppra. "Toyota remains a leader in advanced -technology," continues Yanagisawa, "through a total commitment that is more than just a marketing. slogan. This comitment to research and development amnounts to $2 billion per year and it can be seen in the cars and trucks we seil" concludes Yanagisawa. More protection for car owners FROM PAGE 16 billed, the hourly rate and the total cost of labor; the total arnount te be billed; the date the estimate was given, and the date it oeases te apply. The law has clear requirements for the final written bill, as well. Once the work is completed, the custemer can expect te receive a detailed invoice covering the same areas as the estimate, in addition. te the odometer reading at the time of return, the total amount owing, and the ternis of the warranty. A warranty must be provided on, new or reconditioned parts -"and- assoiated labor for a minimum of 90 days or 5,000 kilometres. For motercycles and moter-assisted bicycles, the warranty must be 30 days or 1,500 Iilometres. Should the vehicle become unsafe or inoperable while the 90 day warranty is in force, and it is not responsible to contact the repairer, the customer can have the car tewed to, the nearest garage, and recover repair costs from the original repairer, plus towing costs. (0f course, customers can return te the original repairer if they wish.) However, the law does not cover routine maintenance items such as oil changes or tire rotation, which are not considered repairs. The ministry's Consumer Services Bureau also receives complaints from consuniers who find it difficult to have used parts returned te them. Customers say they can't verifyr that a bill for a new part is legitimate when the mechanic can't or won't produce the old part for inspection. "Let's face it, a few unscrupulous operators in the car repair business were harming the industry's image as a whole," Mitchell says. "Tue new requirement for mechanics to return old parts on request can only improve the repairer/ custonier relationship." The province's 16,000 garages and repair shops are also required te post their rates in public view, and te stipulate the methods used te, calculate the charges. And they must post the telephone number of the nearest regional Consumer Services Bureau.
