Maintenance requirements
To ensure safe and economical
driving, day-to-day care and regu-
lar maintenance are essential. It is
the owner's responsibility to per-
form regular checks. Lexus recom-
mends 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.
Allow inspection and repairs to be per-
■
formed by a Lexus dealer
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.
Keep a copy of the repair order. It proves
●
that the maintenance that has been per-
formed is under warranty coverage. If
any problem should arise while your vehi-
cle is under warranty, your Lexus dealer
will promptly take care of it.
WARNING
■
If your vehicle is not properly main-
tained
Improper maintenance could result in
serious damage to the vehicle and possi-
ble serious injury or death.
Handling of the battery

cles as well as waste produced by
