MAINTENANCE
179 Your copy of the repair order is proof that all required
maintenance has been performed for warranty coverage.
And if any problems should arise with your vehicle while
under warranty, your Lexus dealer will promptly take care of
it. Again, be sure to keep a copy of the repair order for any
service performed on your Lexus.
What about do±it±yourself maintenance?
Many of the maintenance items are easy to do yourself, if
you have a little mechanical ability and a few basic
automotive tools. Simple instructions for how to perform
them are presented in Section 6.
If you are a skilled do±it±yourself mechanic, the Lexus
service manuals are recommended. Please be aware that
do±it±yourself maintenance can affect your warranty
coverage. See your Owner's Guide, Owner's Manual
Supplement or Warranty Booklet for the details.
