is either delivered to an ultimate
purchaser, leased, or used as a
company car or demonstrator.

by these warranties are made at no
charge for parts and labor.

Any needed parts replacement will
be made using new or remanufactured
parts. The decision whether a part
should be repaired or replaced will
be made by the servicing Lexus
dealership and/or Lexus. Parts
scheduled to be replaced as required
maintenance are warranted until their
first replacement only.
Note: Lexus remanufactured parts
meet or exceed all factory standards

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.

In addition, you should ensure that
such parts are warranted by their
manufacturers to be equivalent
to Genuine Lexus Parts. If your vehicle fails a smog-check
test, you may make a claim under the
Emission Performance Warranty.
To do so, take your vehicle to an
autho
rized Lexus dealership and
present a copy of the smog-check 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.

service under the Emission
Defect Warranty, see page 37,

The ImporTance of Scheduled maInT enance
MAINTENANCE
39
Regular maintenance is essential
to obtaining the highest level of
performance, safety and reli-
ability from your Lexus. It can also
enhance your vehicle’s resale value.
This section of the Warranty and
Services Guide is designed to help
you make sure your vehicle receives
proper and timely maintenance.
It includes factory-recommended
maintenance guidelines as well as
logs in which to document your
vehicle’s maintenance history.
In addition to scheduled mainte -
nance, your Lexus requires ongoing
general maintenance such as fluid
checks and visual inspections. These
procedures are listed on pages
42–43 of this booklet and described
in detail in the “Maintenance”
section of the Owner’s Manual. It is especially important to check
your vehicle’s engine oil once a
month and to regularly replace
the engine oil and oil filter. failure
to do so can cause oil starvation
and
/or oil gelling, which can
result in severe damage to your
vehicle and require costly repairs
that are not covered by the new
Vehicle limited Warranty.
With proper maintenance and care,
your vehicle will last longer and
deliver more dependable, economical
performance. Follow this booklet’s
recommendations and you’ll enjoy
maximum reliability and peace of
mind from your Lexus for many
years to come.

Introduction
Maintenance and Lexus Warranty coverage
MAINTENANCE
40
Maintaining your vehicle according
to the recommendations in this
booklet is required to ensure that your
warranty coverage remains intact.
You should keep detailed records
of vehicle 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
maintained your vehicle. However,
damage or failures caused by
lack of proper maintenance are
not covered under warranty.
Maintenance and repair 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 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 maintenance
log. These additional services are not
required to maintain your warranty
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 16–33 of this booklet.
