maintenance Lexus ES350 2014 Warranty and Services Guide

Emission Defect Warranty
Lexus warrants that your vehicle:• Was designed, built and
equipped to conform at the
time of sale with applicable
federal emissions standards.
• Is free from defects in materials
and workmanship that may
cause the vehicle to fail to
meet these standards.
Federal regulations require that this
warranty be in effect for two years or
24,000 miles from the vehicle’s in-
service date, whichever occurs
first. However, under the terms of
the Basic Warranty, Lexus provides
coverage of four years or 50,000
miles, which ever occurs first. Specific
components may have longer
coverage under the terms of the
Powertrain Warranty. Additionally,
components marked “8/80” in
the parts list on pages 23–24 have
coverage of eight years or 80,000
miles, whichever occurs first.
Emission Performance
Warranty
Some states and localities have
established vehicle inspection
and maintenance (I/M) programs
to encourage proper vehicle
maintenance. If an EPA-approved
I/M program is in force in your
area, you are eligible for Emission
Performance Warranty coverage.
Under the terms of the Emission
Performance Warranty and
federal regulations, Lexus will
make all nec essary repairs if
both of the following occur:
•
Your vehicle fails to meet
applicable emissions
standards as determined by an
EPA-approved emissions test.
• This failure results or will result
in some penalty to you — such
as a fine or denial of the right
to use your vehicle — under
local, state or federal law.
This warranty is in effect for two years
or 24,000 miles from the vehicle’s
in-service date, whichever occurs first.
Additionally, components marked
“8/80” in the parts list on pages
23–24 have coverage of eight
years or 80,000 miles, whichever
occurs first.

You are responsible for performance
of the required maintenance indicated
in the Owner’s Manual and this guide.
Lexus will not deny a warranty claim
solely because you do not have
records to show that you maintained
your vehicle. However, any failure
or noncompliance caused by lack
of maintenance is not covered by
this warranty.
When maintenance and repairs
are paid for by you, these services
may be performed by you or by
any automotive service provider
you choose. Lexus will not deny
a warranty claim solely because
you used a service provider other
than a Lexus dealership for main-
tenance and repairs. However, any
failure or noncompliance caused by
improper maintenance or repairs
is not covered by this warranty. To ensure optimum performance
and maintain the quality built into
your vehicle’s emission control
systems, Lexus recommends the
use of Genuine Lexus Parts when
servicing or repairing the systems.
Warranty coverage is not dependent
upon the use of any particular
brand of replacement parts and
you may elect to use non-Genuine
Lexus Parts for maintenance and
repairs. However, use of replace-
ment parts that are not equivalent
in quality to Genuine Lexus Parts
may impair the effectiveness of
the emission control systems.
If you use replacement parts that
have maintenance or replacement
schedules different from those of
Genuine Lexus Parts, you must follow
the maintenance and replacement
schedules for the parts you are using.

In addition, you should ensure that
such parts are warranted by their
manufacturers to be equivalent to
Genuine Lexus Parts.

If your vehicle fails an EPA-approved
emissions test, you may make a claim
under the Emission Performance
Warranty. To do so, take your vehicle
to an authorized Lexus dealership and
present a copy of the emissions test
report. Also, take your maintenance
records in case they are needed.
If your claim qualifies for coverage,
the dealership will repair your vehicle
within 30 days (unless a shorter
period is required by law). If your
claim is denied, Lexus will notify you
in writing of the reason within the
same period. If we fail to do so, we will
repair your vehicle free of charge. The
only exceptions allowed are when you
request or agree to a delay, or when
a delay is caused by factors beyond
the control of Lexus or the dealership.
For information on how to obtain
service under the Emission
Defect Warranty, see page 37,
“Obtaining Warranty Service.”If you have questions or concerns
about your vehicle’s federal emission
warranty coverage, please follow the
steps described on pages 9–10. In
the case of the Emission Performance

mation from or report complaints to:

and used in accordance with the
written instructions for proper
maintenance and use, Lexus will
remedy the nonconformity free
of charge under the terms of the
Emission Performance Warranty.

The California Air Resources Board
(CARB) and Lexus are pleased to
explain the emission control system
warranty for your 2014 vehicle. In
California, new motor vehicles must
be designed, built and equipped to
meet the state’s stringent anti-smog
standards. CARB regulations require
that Lexus must warrant the emission
control system on your vehicle
for the time periods indicated on
the next page, provided there has
been no abuse, neglect or improper
maintenance of your vehicle.
Your emission control system
may include parts such as the fuel
injection system, ignition system,
catalytic converter and engine
computer. Also included may be
hoses, belts, connectors and other
emissions-related assemblies.
Where a warrantable condition
exists, Lexus will repair your
vehicle at no cost to you, including
diagnosis, parts and labor.

You are responsible for ensuring
that your Lexus is operated and
maintained according to the
instructions in the Owner’s Manual
and the “Maintenance Information”
section of this guide.
You should keep detailed records
of vehicle maintenance, since under
some circumstances they may be
required for warranty coverage.
These records should include date
of service, mileage at time of
service and a description of service
performed and/or parts installed.
For your convenience, maintenance
logs are included in the “Maintenance
Information” section of this guide. If
you sell your vehicle, you should 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
maintained your vehicle. However,
damage or failures caused by
lack of proper maintenance are
not covered under warranty. You may have maintenance
performed on your vehicle by
any qualified person or facility.
However, Lexus recommends
having maintenance performed by
an authorized Lexus dealership.
Lexus dealership technicians are
specially trained to maintain and
repair Lexus vehicles. They stay
current on the latest service informa
-
tion through Lexus technical bulletins,
service publications and training
courses. Many are also certified
through the Lexus Commitment to
Perfection Certifica tion Program,
which requires specialized,
state-of-the-art training as well
as rigorous exams through both
Lexus and the National Institute for
Automotive Service Excellence.
You can be confident you’re getting
the best possible service for your
vehicle when you take it to a Lexus
dealership. Plus, a Lexus dealership
will always use Genuine Lexus Parts
designed specifically for your vehicle.
