You have purchased one of the finest
vehicles built in the world today, and it
is backed by one of the finest warran-
ties in the industry. This excellent
warranty coverage demonstrates
not only our confidence in Lexus
vehicles, but also our commitment
to every Lexus customer. We’re
dedicated to ensuring that you enjoy
exceptional quality, dependability
and peace of mind throughout
your ownership experience.
To further demonstrate our commit-
ment to our customers’ satisfaction,
occasionally we may establish a
special policy adjustment to pay for
specific repairs that are no longer
covered by warranty. When we
establish such a policy adjustment,
we mail details to all applicable
owners on record. That’s why it is
important to send in the card at the
back of this booklet if you change
your address or if you have purchased
your Lexus from a previous owner.
You’ve made a wise decision to
purchase a Lexus. Your vehicle
delivers world-class luxury
and performance, along with an unparalleled commitment from Lexus
to ensuring your satisfaction. You can
be confident — as we are — that you’ll
enjoy owning your Lexus as much as
you enjoy driving it.
All warranty information is the latest
available at the time of publication and,
with the exception of the emission
control warranties, is subject to change
without notice.
