Uniform tire quality grading
This information has been prepared in ac-
cordance with regulations issued by the
National Highway Traffic Safety Adminis-
tration of the U.S. Department of Trans-
portation. It provides the purchasers and/
or prospective purchasers of Toyota
vehicles with information on uniform tire
quality grading.
Your Toyota dealer will help answer any
questions you may have as you read this
information.
DOT quality gradesÐAll passenger ve-
hicle tires must conform to Federal
Safety Requirements in addition to
these grades. These quality grades are
molded on the sidewall.
TreadwearÐThe treadwear grade is a
comparative rating based on the wear rate
of the tire when tested under controlled
conditions on a specified government test
course. For example, a tire graded 150
would wear one and a half (1±1/2) times
as well on the government course as a
tire graded 100. The relative performance
of tires depends upon the actual condi-
tions of their use, however, and may de-
part significantly from the norm due to
variations in driving habits, service prac-
tices and differences in road characteris-
tics and climate.Traction AA, A, B, CÐThe traction
grades, from highest to lowest, are AA, A,
B, and C, and they represent the tire's
ability to stop on wet pavement as mea-
sured under controlled conditions on spe-
cified government test surfaces of asphalt
and concrete. A tire marked C may have
poor traction performance.
Warning: The traction grade assigned to
this tire is based on braking (straight
ahead) traction tests and does not include
cornering (turning) traction.
Temperature A, B, CÐThe temperature
grades are A (the highest), B, and C,
representing the tire's resistance to the
generation of heat and its ability to dissi-
pate heat when tested under controlled
conditions on a specified indoor laboratory
test wheel. Sustained high temperature
can cause the material of the tire to de-
generate and reduce tire life, and exces-
sive temperature can lead to sudden tire
failure. The grade C corresponds to a lev-
el of performance which all passenger car
tires must meet under the Federal Motor
Vehicle Safety Standard No. 109. Grades
B and A represent higher levels of perfor-
mance on the laboratory test wheel than
the minimum required by law.Warning: The temperature grades for this
tire are established for a tire that is prop-
erly inflated and not overloaded. Exces-
sive speed, underinflation, or excessive
loading, either separately or in combina-
tion, can cause heat buildup and possible
tire failure.

SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE LOGS18
Determining Your Vehicle’s Maintenance Needs
Special Operating Conditions
In addition to standard maintenance items, the Scheduled
Maintenance Log indicates services that should be performed
on vehicles that are driven under especially demanding condi-
tions. Specific conditions require specific services, as indicated
below. The Scheduled Maintenance Log indicates at which
mileage/time intervals each service should be performed.
You should perform these additional maintenance services if
you drive
primarilyunder any of the conditions noted. If you
drive only occasionally under these conditions, it is not neces-
sary to perform the additional services.
Driving on Rough, Muddy or Snow-Melted Roads
•Rotate tires
•Inspect ball joints and dust cover
•Inspect brake linings/drums and brake pads/discs
•Inspect drive shaft boots
•Inspect nuts and bolts on chassis and body
•Inspect steering linkage
•Re- torque drive shaft flange bolts*
•Lubricate propeller shaft and re- torque bolts*
Driving on Salt-Covered Roads
•Lubricate propeller shaft and re- torque bolts*
Driving on Unpaved or Dusty Roads
•Inspect brake linings/drums and brake pads/discs
•Inspect or change engine air filter
•Lubricate propeller shaft and re- torque bolts *
Extensive Idling or Low-Speed Driving
for Long Distances
•Inspect brake linings/drums and brake pads/discs
* Applies to selected models. See the Scheduled Maintenance Log for details.

Steering Linkage
With the vehicle stopped, check for excessive freeplay in the steer-
ing 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 Belt
Replace every 90,000 miles. A qualified technician should per-
form this operation.
Tire Rotation
Tires should be rotated according to the instructions in the
Owner’s Manual. When rotating tires, check for damage and
uneven wear.
Transfer Case Oil
Inspect each component for signs of leakage. If you discover any
leakage, have it repaired by a qualified technician immediately.
Wheel Bearing and Drive Shaft Bushing Grease
Repack the wheel bearings with wheel bearing grease and the
front drive shaft bushings with molybdenum- disulfide lithium-
base chassis grease. A qualified technician should perform
these operations.
