Brake Pads, Calipers and Rotors
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.
Differential Oil
Inspect each differential component
for signs of leakage. If you discover

Toyota Super Long Life Coolant or
similar high quality non silicate, non
amine, non nitrate, non borate ethyl
ene glycol coolant with long life
hybrid organic acid technology (i.e.,
a combination of low phosphates and
organic acids). Check that the radia

insects and clean if necessary. Also
check the hose connections for cor
rosion and condition of installation.
A qualified technician should perform
