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 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.

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
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
Warranty Service."
