MAINTENANCE
Scheduled Maintenance Log 71
Spark Plugs
Replace at specified interval. Install
new plugs of the same type as originally
equipped (see your Owner’s Manual).
A qualified technician should perform
this operation.
Steering Linkage and Boots
With the vehicle stopped, check for
excessive freeplay in the steering
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 Chain
The timing chain requires no
periodic inspection.
Tire-Pressure Warning Sensors
A tire-pressure sensor is mounted
on each full-size wheel. These
sensors do not require periodic
maintenance. When a sensor’s
long-life lithium battery becomes
discharged, the battery should be
replaced by a qualified technician
following procedures in Lexus
service and repair publications. Tire Rotation
See your Owner’s Manual for tire
rotation requirements. Check tire
pressure and check tires for damage
and uneven wear. If the vehicle is
equipped with a spare tire, check the
condition and pressure of the spare.
Transmission
The transmission and transmission
fluid are a completely sealed unit.
Therefore, periodic checks and
replacement of the transmission

fluid are not required, and there is
no dipstick on the transmission.
Any repairs that require adding or
replacing fluid should be performed
by a qualified technician following
procedures in Lexus service and
repair publications.
Wiper Blades
The wiper blades should not show
any signs of cracking, splitting, wear,
contamination or deformation. The
wiper blades should clear the windshield
without streaking or skipping.
