8-3.Maintenance
■ Repair and replacement
It is recommended that genuine Lexus parts
be used for repairs to ensure performance
of each system. If non-Lexus parts are used
in replacement or if a repair shop other than
a Lexus dealer performs repairs, confirm
the warranty coverage.
■ Allow inspection and repairs to be per-
formed by a Lexus dealer
● Lexus technicians are well-trained spe-
cialists and are kept up to date with the
latest service information. They are well
informed about the operation of all sys-
tems on your vehicle.
● Keep a copy of the repair order. It proves
that the maintenance that has been per-
formed is under warranty coverage. If any
problem should arise while your vehicle is
under warranty, your Lexus dealer will
promptly take care of it.
■ General maintenance
General maintenance should be performed
on a daily basis. This can be done by your-
self or by a Lexus dealer.
Maintenance requirements
To ensure safe and economical driv-
ing, day-to-day care and regular
maintenance are essential. It is the
owner’s responsibility to perform
regular checks. Lexus recommends
the following maintenance:
WARNING
■ If your vehicle is not properly main-
tained
Improper maintenance could result in
serious damage to the vehicle and possi-
ble death or serious injury.
■ Handling of the 12-volt battery
● Oils and fluids contained in vehicles as
well as waste produced by component
wear contain or emit chemicals known
to the State of California to cause can-
cer and birth defects or other repro-
ductive harm. Avoid exposure and
wash any affected area immediately.
● 12-volt battery posts, terminals and
related accessories contain lead and
lead compounds which are known to
