WARRANTY8/80 = Covered for eight years or 80,000 miles, whichever occurs first.  
*Warranted until first required maintenance under terms of the California Emission Control Warranty. 
Page 30 of 82

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 mainte -
nance 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.Y OUR  W ARRANTY
