Scheduled Maintenance Log
68
The following descriptions are
provided to give you a better
understanding of the maintenance
services that should be performed
on your vehicle. The scheduled
maintenance log indicates at
which time/mileage intervals each
service should be performed.
Please note that many maintenance
services should be performed
only by a qualified technician.
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, scratches
and other damage. Check outer
body panels, inner panels of the
hood and doors, and underneath the
vehicle. Apply touch-up 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, deterioration
and signs of leakage. Replace any
deteriorated or damaged parts. A
qualified technician should perform
these operations.
Brake Pads, Calipers
and Rotors
Check brake pads and rotors for
excessive wear; check brake rotors
for runout. Check brake calipers for
fluid leakage. 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.

MAINTENANCE
Scheduled Maintenance Log 71
Spark Plugs
Replace at specified interval. Install
new plugs of the same type as originally
equipped (see your Owner’s Manual).
A qualified technician should perform
this operation.
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 qualified technician should
perform these operations.
Timing Chain
The timing chain requires no
periodic inspection.
Tire-Pressure Warning Sensors
A tire-pressure sensor is mounted
on each full-size wheel. These
sensors do not require periodic
maintenance. When a sensor’s
long-life lithium battery becomes
discharged, the battery should be
replaced by a qualified technician
following procedures in Lexus
service and repair publications. Tire Rotation
See your Owner’s Manual for tire
rotation requirements. Check tire
pressure and check tires for damage
and uneven wear. If the vehicle is
equipped with a spare tire, check the
condition and pressure of the spare.
Transmission
The transmission and transmission
fluid are a completely sealed unit.
Therefore, periodic checks and
replacement of the transmission
fluid are not required, and there is
no dipstick on the transmission.
Any repairs that require adding or
replacing fluid should be performed
by a qualified technician following
procedures in Lexus service and
repair publications.
Wiper Blades
The wiper blades should not show
any signs of cracking, splitting, wear,
contamination or deformation. The
wiper blades should clear the windshield
without streaking or skipping.
