Disclaimer of Extra
Expenses and Damages
The performance of necessary
repairs and adjustments is the
exclusive remedy under this
warranty or any implied warranty.
Lexus does not authorize any
person to create for it any other
obligation or liability in connec-
tion with this vehicle. Lexus shall
not be liable for incidental or

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 perfor-
mance 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 noncompli-
ance 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

mation from or report complaints to:

(CARB) and Lexus are pleased to
explain the emission control system
warranty for your 2015 vehicle. In
California, new motor vehicles must
be designed, built and equipped to

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.
