To ensure optimum performance
and maintain the quality built into
your vehicle's emission control
systems, Lexus recommends the
use of Genuine Lexus Parts when
servicing or repairing the systems.
Warranty coverage is not dependent
upon the use of any particular
brand of replacement parts and
you may elect to use non-Genuine
Lexus Parts for maintenance and
repairs. however, use of replace-
ment parts that are not equivalent
in quality to Genuine Lexus Parts
may impair the effectiveness of
the emission control systems.
If you use replacement parts that
have maintenance or replacement
schedules different from those of
Genuine Lexus Parts, you must follow
the main tenance and replacement
schedules for the parts you are
using. In addition, you should ensure
that such parts are warranted by
their manufacturers to be equiva­
lent to Genuine Lexus Parts.

If your vehicle fails a smog­check
test, you may make a claim under the
Emission Performance Warranty.
To do so, take your vehicle to an
autho rized Lexus dealership and
present a copy of the smog­check test
report. Also, take your maintenance
records in case they are needed.
If your claim qualifies for coverage,
the dealership will repair your vehicle
within 30 days (unless a shorter
period is required by law). If your
claim is denied, Lexus will notify you
in writing of the reason within the
same period. If we fail to do so, we will
repair your vehicle free of charge. The
only exceptions allowed are when you
request or agree to a delay, or when
a delay is caused by factors beyond
the control of Lexus or the dealership.
For information on how to obtain
service under the Emission
Defect Warranty, see page 38,
"Obtaining Warranty Service."
