Introduction
MAINTENANCE AND LEXUS WARRANTY COVERAGE
MAINTENANCE
42
Maintaining your vehicle according to
the recommendations in this booklet
is required to ensure that your war
ranty coverage remains intact. You
should keep detailed records of vehi
cle maintenance, including date of
service, mileage at time of service
and a description of service and/or
parts installation performed. The
maintenance logs in this booklet are a
good place to record this information.
If you sell your vehicle, be sure to give
your maintenance records to the new
owner.
Lexus will not deny a warranty claim
solely because you do not have
records to show that you maintainedyour vehicle. However, damage or
failures caused bylack of proper
maintenance are not covered under
warranty.
Maintenance and repair services may
be performed byyou or by any auto
motive service provider you choose.
Lexus will not deny a warranty claim
solely because you used a serviceprovider other than a Lexus dealer
ship for maintenance and repairs.
However, damage or failures caused
by improper maintenance or repairs
are not covered under warranty.
Your dealer may recommend more
frequent maintenance intervals or
more maintenance services than
those listed in the scheduled mainte
nance log. These additional services
are not required to maintain your war
ranty coverage. Ask your dealer for
an explanation of any recommended
maintenance not included in the
scheduled maintenance log.
For a complete description of
Lexus warranty coverages, see
pages 17–34 of this booklet.

Determining Your
Maintenance Interval:
Months vs. Mileage
Lexus recommends obtaining sched
uled maintenance for your vehicle
every six months or 5,000 miles,
whichever occurs first.
For example:
•If at six months you have driven
less than 5,000 miles, you
should obtain maintenance at
six
months
;don’t wait until 5,000
miles.
•If you drive 5,000 miles in less
than six months, you should
obtain maintenance at
5,000
miles
;don’t wait until six months.
Be sure to keep an eye on your
mileage so that you obtain mainte
nance when recommended. If you are
a lowmileage driver, mark your cal
endar to remind yourself to obtain
maintenance every six months.

What are Lexus Personalized
Settings?
Your vehicle includes a variety of
electronic features that can be pro
grammed to your preferences. For
example, doors can be programmed
to remain locked when you shift into
“Park.” (For more information, see the
“Customizable Features” section of
the Specifications chapter in your
Owner’s Manual.) Programming of
these features is performed once at
no charge, provided you obtain the
service at the 30day/1,000mile

ized Settings requires special equip
ment and may be performed only by
an authorized Lexus dealership.
