2 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 break 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.
3 Visually inspect every 5,000 miles, and inspect thickness and disc runout every 30,000 miles.
4 Driving in certain conditions such as heavy traffic areas or urban areas or dusty areas or desert areas or dirt road may shorten air conditioning filter's life. Therefore, it may need to be replaced earlier.
5 Replace both the engine oil and oil filter, even when the maintenance reminder does not appear, after 12 months have passed, or when driving over 10,000 miles since the last oil change. This may cause the maintenance reminder to appear even when driven less than 10,000 miles. Replace both engine oil and oil filter every 5,000 miles or 6 months, in which the vehicle is mainly driven on dirt or dusty roads, when the maintenance reminder does not appear.
6 Maintenance services of spark plugs are required under the terms of the Emission Control Warranty.
7 Perform this service if you drive on dirt roads or dusty roads.
