EXPLANATION OF MAINTENANCE ITEMS
MAINTENANCE
Scheduled Maintenance Log67
Brake Pads/Rotors and
Parking Brake Linings/Drums
Check brake pads and rotors for
excessive wear; check brake rotors
for runout. Check brake calipers for
fluid leakage. Check the parking
brake linings (shoes) and drums for
scoring, burning, fluid leakage, broken
parts and excessive wear. Some mod-
els are equipped with directional
rotors. When servicing these rotors,
reinstall at same location. A qualified
technician should perform these
operations. See inside front cover
for additional brake information.
Drive Belt
Inspect for cracks, excessive wear
and oiliness. Check the belt tension
and adjust if necessary. Replace the
belt if it is damaged.
Engine Air Filter
Check for damage, excessive wear
and oiliness. Replace if necessary.
Engine Coolant
When inspecting, visually check
the engine coolant level on the see-
through reservoir. Add coolant as necessary. When replacing, drain
and flush the cooling system and refill
with coolant. Always use 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).
A qualified technician should per-
form these operations.
Note:
Initial replacement is at 120
months/100,000 miles. Replace
every 60 months/50,000 miles
thereafter.
Engine Oil and Oil Filter
Replace the oil filter and drain and
refill the engine oil at specified inter-
vals. For recommended oil grade
and viscosity, refer to your Owner’s
Manual . Some models are equipped
with a replaceable oil-filter element
and oil-filter cap O-ring; replace both
at each oil change. For instructions on
how to reset the reminder light, refer
to your Owner’s Manual .
