Introduction; The Importance Of Scheduled Maintenance - Lexus 2015 CT 200h Warranty And Services Manual

THE IMPORTANCE OF SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE

Regular maintenance is essential
to obtaining the highest level of
performance, safety and reliability
from your Lexus. It can also
enhance your vehicle's resale value.
This section of the Warranty and
Services Guide is designed to help
you make sure your vehicle receives
proper and timely maintenance.
It includes factory-recommended
maintenance guidelines as well as
logs in which to document your
vehicle's maintenance history.
In addition to scheduled maintenance,
your Lexus requires ongoing general
maintenance such as fluid checks and
visual inspections. These procedures
are listed on pages 42–43 of this
booklet and described in detail in
the "Maintenance" section of the
Owner's Manual.
It is especially important to check
your vehicle's engine oil once a
month and to regularly replace
the engine oil and oil filter. Failure
to do so can cause oil starvation
and/or oil gelling, which can result
in severe damage to your vehicle
and require costly repairs that are
not covered by the New Vehicle
Limited Warranty.
With proper maintenance and
care, your vehicle will last longer
and deliver more dependable,
economical performance. Follow
this booklet's recommendations
and you'll enjoy maximum reliability
and peace of mind from your
Lexus for many years to come.
