1 Toyota genuine fuel injector cleaner or equivalent.
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 Initial engine/intercooler coolant (if applicable) replacement at 100,000 miles/120 months. Replace every 50,000 miles/60 months thereafter.
6 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.
7 Maintenance services of spark plugs are required under the terms of the Emission Control Warranty.
8 Replace the vacuum pump vane and the vacuum pump vane caps with new ones and never reuse the vacuum pump vane and the vacuum pump vane caps.
9 Perform this service if you drive on dirt roads or dusty roads.
10 Perform this service if you drive while towing a trailer, using a car-top carrier, or heavy vehicle loading. Not all vehicles are designed for towing. Refer to your Vehicle Owner's Manual for details.
11 Perform this service if you operate with extensive idling and/or low-speed driving for a long distance, such as police, professional/private use like taxi or door-to-door delivery use.
12 Operating on rough or muddy roads, or roads with melting snow.
13 Including operation on roads that have road salt applied.
