Brake Pads, Calipers and RotorsCheck brake pads and rotors forexcessive wear; check brake rotorsfor runout. Check brake calipers forfluid leakage. Check the parkingbrake linings (shoes) and drums forscoring, burning, fluid leakage, brokenparts and excessive wear. Some mod-els are equipped with directionalrotors. When servicing these rotors,reinstall at same location. A qualifiedtechnician should perform theseoperations. See inside front cover for additional brake information.
Differential OilInspect each differential componentfor signs of leakage. If you discoverany leakage, have it repaired immedi-ately by a qualified technician. Referto your Owner’s Manual for fluidspecifications. For ISF, replace reardifferential oil at specified intervals.
Drive BeltInspect for cracks, excessive wearand oiliness. Check the belt tensionand adjust if necessary. Replace thebelt if it is damaged.
Engine Air FilterCheck for damage, excessive wearand oiliness. Replace if necessary.
Engine CoolantWhen inspecting, visually check the engine coolant level on the see-through reservoir. Add coolant asnecessary. When replacing, drain and flush the cooling system and refillwith coolant. Always use Genuine Toyota Super Long-Life Coolant orsimilar high-quality non-silicate, non-amine, non-nitrate, non-borate ethyl-ene-glycol coolant with long-lifehybrid organic acid technology (i.e., a combination of low phosphates andorganic acids). Check that the radia-tor is not blocked with leaves, dirt orinsects and clean if necessary. Alsocheck the hose connections for cor-rosion and condition of installation. A qualified technician should performthese operations.
Note: Initial replacement is at 120months/100,000 miles. Replaceevery 60 months/50,000 milesthereafter.

Exhaust Pipes and MountingsVisually inspect the exhaust pipes,muffler and hangers for cracks, deterioration and damage. Start the engine and listen carefully for any exhaust leakage. Tighten connec-tions and replace parts as necessary.
Fuel Lines and Connections, FuelTank Band and Fuel Tank VaporVent System HosesVisually inspect for corrosion, dam-age, cracks, and loose or leaking connections. Tighten connections and replace parts as necessary.
Fuel Tank Cap GasketVisually inspect for cracks, deterio-ration and damage and replace if necessary.
Nuts and Bolts on ChassisCheck that tightness of the seat-mounting bolts and front/rear suspen-sion-member retaining bolts matchestorque measurements specified in theRepair Manual.
Power Steering FluidWhen inspecting, visually check thepower steering fluid level on the see-through reservoir. Add fluid as neces-sary. For fluid specifications, refer toyour Owner's Manual.
Rack and Pinion AssemblyInspect the rack and pinion assemblyfor signs of leakage, damage andloose electrical connections. Tightenconnections and if you discover anyleakage or damage, have it repairedimmediately by a qualified technician.

Steering Linkage and BootsWith the vehicle stopped, check forexcessive freeplay in the steeringwheel. Inspect the linkage for bendingand damage and the dust boots fordeterioration, cracks and damage.Replace any damaged parts. A quali-fied technician should perform theseoperations.
Timing Belt (SC)Replace every 90,000 miles or 108 months. A qualified technicianshould perform this operation.
Timing Chain (ES, GS, IS, LS)The ES, GS, IS and LS are equippedwith a timing chain that requires noperiodic inspection.
Tire RotationTires should be rotated according to the instructions in your Owner’sManual. When rotating tires, checkpressure and check for damage and
uneven wear. If the spare is not rotat-ed, check the condition and pressureof the spare.
Tire-Pressure Warning SensorsA tire-pressure sensor is mounted oneach full-size wheel. These sensors do not require periodic maintenance.When a sensor’s long-life lithium bat-tery becomes discharged, the batteryshould be replaced by a qualifiedtechnician following procedures inLexus service and repair publications.
Transfer Case/Transmission Inspect each transfer case/transmis-sion component for signs of leakage.If you discover any leakage, have itrepaired immediately by a qualifiedtechnician.
Note: The transfer case/transmissionand transmission fluid are a complete-ly sealed unit. Therefore, periodicchecks and replacement of the trans-mission fluid are not required, andthere is no dipstick on the transmis-sion.
