1 Inspect sealed transmissions, transfer cases and differentials for signs of leakage. If any leakage from a sealed
component is suspected, it is recommended that you have the sealed component inspected by a Toyota dealer. Inspect
power steering fluid (if equipped) and brake fluid level/condition. Inspect engine and inverter (if equipped) coolant
level/condition/freezing point. Your dealer may recommend services (Dealer-Recommended Maintenance) based on
inspection results.
2 Reset the oil replacement reminder light (“MAINT REQD”) or the message “OIL MAINTENANCE REQUIRED” on the
multi-information display after maintenance at every 5,000 miles.
3 Perform these service items only if you drive primarily under the conditions indicated. 4 Includes operating on roads which road salt has been applied.5 Inspect thickness measurement and disc runout.6
Refer to “Engine Coolant” in the “Explanation of Maintenance Items” section in the back of this guide for more information.7 Not all vehicles are designed for towing. Refer to your Vehicle Owner’s Manual for details.
NOTE: Driving in heavy traffic, on dirt roads or in urban, dusty or desert areas may shorten
the life of the cabin air filter. Replacement may be needed if you notice reduced airflow
from the air conditioner and heater or if the windows fog easily when you use the “Fresh”
mode. Consult your dealer if any of these conditions occur.

EXPLANATION OF MAINTENANCE ITEMS
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 qualied technician.
For further information on maintenance
items you can perform yourself, see the
“Maintenance and Care” section of the
Owner’s Manual.
Automatic Transmission Fluid or
Manual Transmission Oil
Inspect or replace at specied intervals.
When performing inspections, check each
component for signs of leakage. If you
discover any leakage, have it repaired by
a qualied 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 qualied technician should perform
these operations.
Brake Lines and Hoses
Visually inspect for proper installation.
Check for chang, cracks, deterioration
and signs of leakage. Replace any
deteriorated or damaged parts. A qualied
technician should perform these operations.
Brake Linings/Drums and
Brake Pads/Discs
Check the brake linings (shoes) and
drums for scoring, burning, uid leakage,
broken parts and excessive wear. Check
the pads for excessive wear and the discs
for runout, excessive wear and uid
leakage. Replace any deteriorated or
damaged parts. A qualied technician
should perform these operations.
Cabin Air Filter
Replace at specied intervals. Driving in
heavy trafc, on dirt roads or in urban,
desert or dusty areas may shorten lter’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 qualied
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
Inspect or replace at specied intervals.
When performing inspections, check for
damage, excessive wear and oiliness, and
replace if necessary.
Engine Coolant
Drain the cooling system and rell with an
ethylene-glycol type coolant. Inspect hoses
and connections for corrosion and leaks.
Tighten connections and replace parts
when necessary. A qualied technician
should perform these operations. (For
further details, refer to “Radiator, Condenser
and Hoses” in the “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.
