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 depen-
dent 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
schedules different from those of
Genuine Lexus Parts, you must follow
the maintenance 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.

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 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 excep-
tions 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
Warranty Service."
