The following descriptions are provid
ed to give you a better understanding
of the maintenance services that
should be performed on your vehicle.
The scheduled maintenance log indi
cates at which time/mileage intervals
each service should be performed.
Please note that many maintenance
services should be performed only
by a qualified technician.
Air Conditioner Filter
Clean or replace at specified inter
vals. More frequent cleaning or
replacement may be required when
driving in dusty conditions, heavy traf
fic areas, urban areas, desert areas or
dirt roads. Refer to your Owner’s
Manual for service details.
Axle Shaft Boots
Check the axle shaft boots and
clamps for cracks, deterioration and
damage. Replace any damaged parts
and, if necessary, repack the grease.
A qualified technician should perform
these operations. Ball Joints and Dust Covers
Check the suspension and steering
linkage ball joints for looseness and
damage. Check all dust covers for
deterioration and damage. A qualified
technician should perform these
inspections.
Body Inspection
Visually check for corrosion, scratch
es and other damage. Check outer
body panels, inner panels of the hood
and doors, and underneath the vehi
cle. Apply touchup paint to any chips
and scratches or have them repaired
by a qualified technician.
Brake Fluid
Replace using fluid type specified
in your Owner’s Manual . A qualified
technician should perform this
operation.
Brake Lines and Hoses
Visually inspect for proper installation.
Check for chafing, cracks, deteriora
tion and signs of leakage. Replace
any deteriorated or damaged parts.
A qualified technician should perform
these operations.
For further information on
maintenance services that you
can perform yourself, see the
maintenance sections of your
Owner’s Manual .

Brake Pads, Calipers and Rotors
Check brake pads and rotors for
excessive wear; check brake rotors
for runout. Check brake calipers for
fluid leakage. Check the parking
brake linings (shoes) and drums for
scoring, burning, fluid leakage, broken
parts and excessive wear. Some mod
els are equipped with directional
rotors. When servicing these rotors,
reinstall at same location. A qualified
technician should perform these
operations. See inside front cover
for additional brake information.
Differential Oil
Inspect each differential component
for signs of leakage. If you discover
any leakage, have it repaired immedi
ately by a qualified technician. Refer
to your Owner’s Manual
for fluid
specifications. For ISF, replace rear
differential oil at specified intervals.
Drive Belt
Inspect for cracks, excessive wear
and oiliness. Check the belt tension
and adjust if necessary. Replace the
belt if it is damaged. Engine Air Filter
Check for damage, excessive wear
and oiliness. Replace if necessary.
Engine Coolant
When inspecting, visually check
the engine coolant level on the see
through reservoir. Add coolant as
necessary. When replacing, drain
and flush the cooling system and refill
with coolant. Always use Genuine
Toyota Super LongLife Coolant or
similar highquality nonsilicate, non
amine, nonnitrate, nonborate ethyl
eneglycol coolant with longlife
hybrid organic acid technology (i.e.,
a combination of low phosphates and
organic acids). Check that the radia
tor is not blocked with leaves, dirt or
insects and clean if necessary. Also
check the hose connections for cor
rosion and condition of installation.
A qualified technician should perform
these operations.
Note: Initial replacement is at 120
months/100,000 miles. Replace
every 60 months/50,000 miles
thereafter.

Engine Oil and Oil Filter
Replace the oil filter and drain and
refill the engine oil at specified inter
vals. For recommended oil grade
and viscosity, refer to your Owner’s
Manual . Some models are equipped
with a replaceable oilfilter element
and oilfilter cap Oring; replace both
at each oil change. For instructions on
how to reset the reminder light, refer
to your Owner’s Manual .
Engine Valve Clearance
(Sensory Inspection — IS F, SC)
Inspect for excessive lifter noise and
engine vibration and adjust if neces
sary. (All other models are equipped
with hydraulic valve lash adjusters that
require no periodic clearance inspec
tion or adjustment.)
Exhaust Pipes and Mountings
Visually inspect the exhaust pipes,
muffler and hangers for cracks,
deterioration and damage. Start
the engine and listen carefully for
any exhaust leakage. Tighten connec
tions and replace parts as necessary.
Fuel Lines and Connections, Fuel
Tank Band and Fuel Tank Vapor
Vent System Hoses
Visually inspect for corrosion, dam
age, cracks, and loose or leaking
connections. Tighten connections
and replace parts as necessary. Fuel Tank Cap Gasket
Visually inspect for cracks, deterio
ration and damage and replace if
necessary.
Nuts and Bolts on Chassis
Check that tightness of the seat
mounting bolts and front/rear suspen
sionmember retaining bolts matches
torque measurements specified in the
Repair Manual .
Power Steering Fluid
When inspecting, visually check the
power steering fluid level on the see
through reservoir. Add fluid as neces
sary. For fluid specifications, refer to
your Owner's Manual
.
Rack and Pinion Assembly
Inspect the rack and pinion assembly
for signs of leakage, damage and
loose electrical connections. Tighten
connections and if you discover any
leakage or damage, have it repaired
immediately by a qualified technician.
Road Test
While driving the vehicle, check for
proper operation of engine, transmis
sion, brakes and steering. Also check
for abnormal noise or vibration from
any part of the vehicle.
