nance” section of the Owner’s Manual
for a detailed description of inspec
tion procedures.
When Refueling
When refueling, perform these
inspections:
•Check engine oil level using
the dipstick
• Visually check engine coolant
level on the seethrough
reservoir (under cover)
• Visually check brake fluid level
on the seethrough reservoir
• Visually check power steering
fluid level on the seethrough
reservoir (under cover)
• Visually check condition of
battery (under cover)
• Check level of windshield
washer fluid
Every 30 Days
At least once every 30 days, perform
these inspections:
•Check tire pressure
• Check tires for damage
and wear
When Cleaning the Interior
•Remove dirt and dust with a
vacuum cleaner. Wipe dirty sur
faces with a soft cloth dampened
with warm water.
• When cleaning carpet or cloth
interior, remove dirt and dust
with a vacuum cleaner. Apply
a foamingtype carpet cleaner
with a sponge or brush, allowing
cleaner to work for a few min
utes to loosen dirt. Continue by
rubbing carpet or cloth interior
in a circular motion. Wipe off any
excess cleaner with a clean cloth.
If any dirt remains, repeat process.
Best results are obtained by
keeping carpet and cloth interior
as dry as possible.

EXPLANATION OF MAINTENANCE ITEMS
MAINTENANCE
Scheduled Maintenance Log71
Spark Plugs
Replace at specified interval. Install
new plugs of the same type as origi
nally equipped. A qualified technician
should perform this operation. To
ensure optimum engine performance
on ES 350, replace only with Denso
FK20HR11 plugs or equivalent.
Steering Linkage and Boots
With the vehicle stopped, check for
excessive freeplay in the steering
wheel. Inspect the linkage for bending
and damage and the dust boots for
deterioration, cracks and damage.
Replace any damaged parts. A quali
fied technician should perform these
operations.
Timing Belt (SC)
Replace every 90,000 miles or
108 months. A qualified technician
should perform this operation.
Timing Chain (ES, GS, IS, LS)
The ES, GS, IS and LS are equipped
with a timing chain that requires no
periodic inspection.
Tire Rotation
Tires should be rotated according
to the instructions in your Owner’s
Manual . When rotating tires, check
pressure and check for damage and uneven wear. If the spare is not rotat
ed, check the condition and pressure
of the spare.
TirePressure Warning Sensors
A tirepressure sensor is mounted on
each fullsize wheel. These sensors
do not require periodic maintenance.
When a sensor’s longlife lithium bat
tery becomes discharged, the battery
should be replaced by a qualified
technician following procedures in
Lexus service and repair publications.
Transfer Case/Transmission
Inspect each transfer case/transmis
sion component for signs of leakage.
If you discover any leakage, have it
repaired immediately by a qualified
technician.
Note: The transfer case/transmission
and transmission fluid are a complete
ly sealed unit. Therefore, periodic
checks and replacement of the trans
mission fluid are not required, and
there is no dipstick on the transmis
sion. Any repairs that require adding
or replacing fluid should be per
formed by a qualified technician fol
lowing procedures in Lexus service
and repair publications.
