MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS
Your Lexus vehicle has been designed for fewer maintenance
requirements with longer service intervals to save both your
time and money. However, each regular maintenance as well
as day±to±day care is more important than ever before to
ensure smooth, trouble±free, safe, and economical driving.
It is the owner's responsibility to make sure the specified
maintenance, including general maintenance services, is
performed. Note that both the new vehicle and emission
control system warranties specify that proper maintenance
and care must be performed. See ºOwner's Guideº, ºOwner's
Manual Supplementº or ºWarranty Bookletº for complete

General maintenance items are those day±to±day care
practices that are important to your vehicle for proper

general maintenance items are performed regularly.
These checks or inspections can be done either by yourself or
your Lexus dealer.
Scheduled maintenance
The scheduled maintenance items listed in the ºOwner's
Manual Supplement / Maintenance Scheduleº are those
required to be serviced at regular intervals.
