CALIFORNIA EMISSION CONTROL WARRANTY
REPLACEMENT PARTS
To ensure optimum performance
and maintain the quality built into
your vehicle' s emission control sys-
tems, 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 replacement 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 sched-
ules 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 equivalent to Genuine Lexus Parts.
32 Your Warranties in Detail
IF YOUR VEHICLE FAILS
A SMOG-CHECK TEST
If your vehicle fails a smog-check 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 smog-check 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 peri-
od 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.

service under the Emission Defect
Warranty, see page 37, "Obtaining
