To ensure safe and economical driv-

maintenance are essential. It is the
owner's responsibility to perform
regular checks. Lexus recommends
the following maintenance:
Repair and replacement

It is recommended that genuine Lexus parts
be used for repairs to ensure performance
of each system. If non-Lexus parts are used
in replacement or if a repair shop other than
a Lexus dealer performs repairs, confirm
the warranty coverage.

● Lexus technicians are well-trained spe-
cialists and are kept up to date with the
latest service information. They are well
informed about the operation of all sys-
tems on your vehicle.

that the maintenance that has been per-
formed is under warranty coverage. If any
problem should arise while your vehicle is
under warranty, your Lexus dealer will
promptly take care of it.
