Drive BeltsInspect for cracks, excessive wear and
oiliness. Check the belt tension and adjust
if necessary. Replace the belts if they are
damaged.
Drive Shaft Boots
Check the drive shaft boots and clamps
for cracks, deterioration and damage.
Replace any deteriorated or damaged parts
and, if necessary, repack the grease. A
qualified technician should perform these
operations.
Driver’s Floor Mat

Only use the driver’s floor mat
designed specifically
for the model
and model year of your vehicle.
 Always properly secure the driver’s
floor
mat

using the retaining hooks.
 Never install another floor mat on top
of the

existing driver’s floor mat.
 Never install the driver’s floor mat
upside down.
Engine Air Filter
Inspect or replace at specified intervals.
When performing inspections, check for
damage, excessive wear and oiliness, and
replace if necessary.
Engine Coolant
Drain the cooling system and refill with an
ethylene-glycol type coolant. Inspect hoses
and connections for corrosion and leaks.
Tighten connections and replace parts
when necessary. A qualified technician
should perform these operations. (For
further details, refer to Radiator,
Condenser and Hoses in theVehicle
Maintenance and Care section of the
Owner’s Manual).
Your Toyota is equipped with Genuine
Toyota Super Long-Life Coolant. The
replacement intervals for engine
coolant recommended in this booklet
are based on replacement with
Genuine Toyota Super Long-Life
Coolant or similar high-quality
non-silicate, non-amine, non-borate
ethylene-glycol coolant with long-life
hybrid organic acid technology (i.e., a
combination of low phosphates and
organic acids). If another type of
ethylene-glycol coolant is used,
replacement intervals may be different.
Engine Oil and Oil Filter
Replace the oil filter and drain and refill
the engine oil at specified intervals. For
recommended oil grade and viscosity,
refer to the
Owner’s Manual.
