T
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 “Vehicle Maintenance and Care”
and “Do-It-Yourself Maintenance”
sections of the
Owner’s Manual.
Automatic Transmission Fluid
Inspect or 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.
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.
Drive Belts
Inspect for cracks, excessive wear and
oiliness. Check the belt tension and adjust
if necessary. Replace the belts if they are
damaged.

MAINTENANCE

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. A
qualified technician should perform these
operations.
Driver’s Floor Mat
•Only use the driver’s floor mat
designed specifically for the model
and model year of your vehicle.
• Always properly secure the driver’s
floor mat using the retaining hooks.
• Never install another floor mat on top
of the existing driver’s floor mat.
• Never install the driver’s floor mat
upside down.
Engine Air Filter
Replace at specified intervals. When
performing inspections, check for damage,
excessive wear and oiliness, and replace if
necessary.
Engine Coolant
Drain the cooling system and refill with an
ethylene-glycol type coolant. Inspect hoses
and connections for corrosion and leaks.
Tighten connections and replace parts
when necessary. A qualified technician
should perform these operations. (For
further details, refer to Radiator,
Condenser and Hoses in theVehicle
Maintenance and Care section of the
Owner’s Manual).
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,
replacement intervals may be different.

MAINTENANCE

Engine Oil and Oil Filter
Replace the oil filter and drain and refill
the engine oil at specified intervals. For
recommended oil grade and viscosity,
refer to the
Owner’s Manual.
NOTE:Your vehicle may be certified with
Genuine Toyota 0W20 motor oil. Refer to
the maintenance log (Schedule A and B)
to determine which maintenance schedule
is applicable for your vehicle (based on
engine AND OIL type). For VEHICLES
CERTIFIED FOR 0W20 motor oil, the oil
change interval is 10,000 miles or
12 months IF 0W20 MOTOR OIL IS BEING
USED. If 0W20 is not available, 5W20
mineral oil may be used. However, it must
be replaced at A 5,000 miles or 6 month
INTERVAL with 0W20 motor oil.
For VEHICLES NOT CERTIFIED FOR 0W20
motor oil, the oil change interval does not
change. It remains 5,000 miles or
6 months, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER
0W20 MOTOR OIL IS BEING USED.
For customers who primarily drive their
vehicle under any of the listed Special
Operating Conditions, the motor oil and
filter should be replaced at 5,000 miles or
6 months, REGARDLESS OF THE OIL
USED (OR CERTIFICATION OF THE
VEHICLE).
Exhaust Pipes and Mountings
Visually inspect the exhaust pipes, muffler
and hangers for cracks, deterioration and
damage. Start the engine and listen
carefully for any exhaust gas leakage.
Tighten connections or replace parts as
necessary.
Front and Rear Differential Oil
Inspect or 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.
Fuel Lines and Connections,
Fuel Tank Band and Fuel Tank
Vapor Vent System Hoses
Visually inspect for corrosion, damage,
cracks, and loose or leaking connections.
Tighten connections or replace parts as
necessary.
Fuel Tank Cap Gasket
Visually inspect for cracks, deterioration
and damage and replace if necessary.
Nuts and Bolts on Chassis and
Body
Re-tighten the seat-mounting bolts and
front/rear suspension member retaining
bolts to specified torque.
