Maintenance requirements
To ensure safe and economical driv-
ing, day-to-day care and regular
maintenance are essential. Lexus
recommends the following mainte-
nance:
WARNING
If your vehicle is not properly main-
■
tained
Improper maintenance could result in
serious damage to the vehicle and possi-
ble death or serious injury.
Handling of the battery
■
Battery posts, terminals and related
accessories contain lead and lead com-
pounds which are known to cause brain
damage. Wash your hands after han-
dling. (P.389)
Scheduled maintenance
Scheduled maintenance should be
performed at specified intervals
according to the maintenance
schedule.
The interval for scheduled mainte-
nance is determined by the odome-
ter reading or the time interval,
whichever comes first, shown in the
schedule.
Maintenance beyond the last period
should be performed at the same
intervals.
Where to go for the maintenance
service?
It makes good sense to take your
vehicle to your local Lexus dealer
for the maintenance service as well
LEXUS NX300/NX200 Owners Manual̲General̲M78540̲en
as other inspections and repairs.
Lexus technicians are well-trained
specialists receiving the latest ser-
vice information through technical
bulletins, service tips and in-dealer-
ship training programs. They learn
to work on Lexus before they work
on your vehicle, rather than while
they are working on it. Doesn't that
seem like the best way?
Your Lexus dealer has invested a lot
of money in special Lexus tools and
service equipment. It helps them to
do the job better and at less cost.
Your Lexus dealer's service depart-
ment will perform all of the sched-
uled maintenance on your vehicle
reliably and economically.
Rubber hoses (for cooling and
heater system, brake system and
fuel system) should be inspected by
a qualified technician according to
the Lexus maintenance schedule.
Rubber hoses are particularly
important maintenance items. Have
any deteriorated or damaged hoses
replaced immediately. Note that
rubber hoses will deteriorate with
age, resulting in swelling, chafing or
cracking.
Do-it-yourself maintenance
What about do-it-yourself mainte-
nance?
Many of the maintenance items are easy to
do yourself if you have a little mechanical
ability and a few basic automotive tools.
