1Inspect sealed transmissions, transfer cases, and differentials for signs of leakage. If any leakage from a sealed
component is suspected, it is recommended that you have the sealed component inspected by a Toyota dealer. Inspect
power steering fluid (if equipped) and brake fluid level/condition. Inspect engine and inverter (if equipped) coolant
level/condition/freezing point. Your dealer may recommend services (Dealer-Recommended Maintenance) based on
inspection results.
2Reset the oil replacement reminder light (“MAINT REQD”) or the message “OIL MAINTENANCE REQUIRED” on the
multi-information display after maintenance at every 5,000 miles.
3Perform these service items only if you drive primarily under the conditions indicated.4Includes operating on roads which road salt has been applied.5Initial replacement at 100,000 miles/120 months. Replace every 50,000 miles/60 months thereafter. Refer to “Engine
Coolant” in the “Explanation of Maintenance Items” section in the back of this guide for more information.

he following descriptions are
provided to give you a better
understanding of the maintenance
items that should be performed on your
vehicle. The scheduled maintenance log
indicates at which mileage/time intervals
each item should be performed. Please
note that many maintenance items should
be performed only by a qualified
technician.
For further information on maintenance
items you can perform yourself, see the
“Maintenance and Care” section of the
Owner’s Manual.
Automatic Transmission Fluid or
Manual Transmission Oil
Inspect 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.
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. Replace any deteriorated or
damaged parts. A qualified technician
should perform these operations.
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 Linings/Drums and Brake
Pads/Discs
Check the brake linings (shoes) and
drums for scoring, burning, fluid leakage,
broken parts and excessive wear. Check
the pads for excessive wear and the discs
for runout, excessive wear and fluid
leakage. Replace any deteriorated or
damaged parts. A qualified technician
should perform these operations.
Cabin Air Filter
Replace at specified intervals. Driving in
heavy traffic, on dirt roads or in urban,
desert or dusty areas may shorten filter’s
life. More frequent replacement may be
necessary.
