Explanation of Maintenance Items
Scheduled Maintenance Logs37
Differential Oil
Replace at specified intervals. When performing inspections, check each
component for signs of leakage. If you discover any leakage, have it repaired
by a qualified technician immediately.
Drive Belts
Inspect 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.
Selected models also require periodic inspection of the drive shaft bolt for proper
torque. A qualified technician should perform these operations.
Engine Air Filter
Replace at specified intervals. When performing inspections, check for damage,
excessive wear and oiliness, and replace if necessary.
Engine Coolant
Drain and flush the cooling system and refill with an ethylene-glycol type
coolant. Inspect the radiator, condenser and/or intercooler for leaves, dirt and
insects and clean if necessary. Inspect hoses and connections for corrosion and
leaks. Tighten connections and replace parts as necessary. A qualified technician
should perform these operations.
Note: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, replace-
ment intervals may be different.

Toyota Maintenance and Repair Support45
TrueStart Batteries
The reputation for quality and reliability was likely a key reason behind your
decision to buy a Toyota. That overall quality is present in each of the compo-
nents of your car or truck, including the battery. When it’s time for a replace-
ment, your Toyota dealer is the only place to find a battery with the power to
start and operate your vehicle like new.
To maintain the original performance designed into your Toyota, a replacement
battery must meet Toyota’s specifications for Cold Cranking Amps (CCA) and
Reserve Capacity (RC). RC, a specification often not met by aftermarket brands,
supplies the power you need during high-demand conditions such as driving in
heavy traffic. RC is also what gives you the power to operate electronic accessories
with the engine off. By choosing a TrueStart,
™you can be confident your battery
will meet your needs, every day.
Warranty coverage is another important consideration when selecting a battery.
TrueStart
™batteries feature a free replacement period of 24 months or the
remainder of the Toyota New Vehicle Limited Warranty, whichever is longer.
Following the free replacement period, warranty coverage is prorated from
months 25—84 in two simple tiers. See your Toyota dealer for more details.
Don’t entrust your Toyota’s performance to anything less than the best: Genuine
Toyota TrueStart
™Batteries.
