Rx330driver Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 Ok, i have a 2004 rx330 and the problem is the Maintenance screen under the info button. It shows when you need a service and such and such. BUT! does it actually work? because I happen to know my brake pads need to be changed because they are squealing...but nothing shows up on that screen under BRAKE. just wondering is all. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Example, you can set the Oil to go off at 5000 miles or 4 months but it has no way of knowing if the oil is in good shape and could go a while longer or if it needs to be replaced sooner. Same for the other options like pads. You could say you want to change them every 2 years or x amount of miles and it would warn you around that time, but it doesn't know if they need it or not. If I am mistaken, let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
