Introduction
GENERAL MAINTENANCE AND REGULAR USE

MAINTENANCE
43
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 foaming-type 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.
•When cleaning leather interior,
remove dirt and dust with a
vacuum cleaner. Using a sponge,
apply a small amount of neutral
wool detergent mixed in water,
rubbing in a circular motion.
Wipe off any excess detergent
and let leather dry in an open-air
location.
When Cleaning the Exterior
•Working from top to bottom,
apply lots of low-pressure water
to the body, wheel wells and
underside of vehicle to remove
dirt and dust. Wash the vehicle
body using a soft sponge or
cotton cloth with mild car-wash
soap. Rinse off with water.
•If water does not bead on a clean
vehicle surface, apply car wax
using a soft cotton cloth when
the body of the vehicle is cool.
When Cleaning the Wheels
•Wait for hot wheels to cool
before getting wheels wet.
•Using a soft sponge or cotton
cloth, apply same mild car-wash
soap as used for the vehicle
body. Quickly rinse off with
water. Using a soft cotton cloth,
apply same car wax as used for
the vehicle body.

EXPLANATION OF MAINTENANCE ITEMS

MAINTENANCE
Scheduled Maintenance Log71
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-
sion-member retaining bolts matches
torque measurements specified in the
Repair 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
the parking brake, and check for
abnormal noise or vibration from
any part of the vehicle.
Spark Plugs
Replace at specified interval. Install
new plugs of the same type as origi-
nally equipped (see your Owner’s
Manual). A qualified technician should
perform this operation. To ensure
optimum engine performance,
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.

EXPLANATION OF MAINTENANCE ITEMS
MAINTENANCE
Scheduled Maintenance Log72
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 bat-
tery becomes discharged, the battery
should be replaced by a qualified
technician following procedures in
Lexus service and repair publications.
Tire Rotation
Tires should be rotated according
to the instructions in your Owner’s
Manual. When rotating tires, check
tire pressure and check tires for dam-
age and uneven wear. If the spare is
not rotated, check the condition and
pressure of the spare.
Transfer Case Oil
Check for correct oil level and
inspect each component for signs of
leakage. If you discover any leakage,
have it repaired immediately by a
qualified technician. For correct oil,
refer to your Owner’s Manual.
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 dip-
stick on the transmission. Any repairs
that require adding or replacing fluid
should be performed by a qualified
technician following precedures in
Lexus service and repair publications.
