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.
Tires
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.
EXPLANATION OF MAINTENANCE ITEMS
Transmission
The trans mission 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.

The wiper blades should not show
any signs of cracking, splitting, wear,
contamination or deformation. The
