Not at 49,000, I would service the transmission when it gets to 60,000. Here is a generic guide to help you step by step with instructions in the diagrams below to show you how on your car:

Hi,
It is never a bad idea to service the transmission. On this vehicle, you have a CVT unit. According to the manufacturer, it doesn't need to be serviced. I check all the way to 150,000 miles and every time the manual indicates to inspect and fill as needed.
Since this is a CVT transmission, do not add traditional automatic fluid to it. It does require a specific type of fluid designed specifically for this design. Make sure to use Toyota Genuine CVT fluid FE or equivalent.
Let me know if you have other questions.
