Lexus Link transceiver antenna
The Lexus Link transceiver antenna is removable. Before
taking the vehicle to an automatic car wash, disconnect
the antenna by unscrewing it from the roof mount. When
you remove the antenna, make sure the ignition is turned
off.Use only the supplied or an approved antenna. Unauthorized
antennas, modifications, or attachments could damage the
Lexus Link System and may violate FCC regulations.
CAUTION
Persons who use a medical appliance like a pacemaker
should not touch or come in close contact with the
antenna while the vehicle is ignition on. Otherwise, the
analog cellular signals may produce improper
operation of a medical appliance.
NOTICE
Do not contact with the antenna, this may affect
quality of transceiver's operation and may cause the
unit to operate at a higher power level than needed.
If you forget reattaching the Lexus Link transceiver
antenna, the Lexus Link System may not function
properly.
To prevent damage to the antenna, make sure it is
removed before driving your vehicle through an
automatic car wash.

IF YOU LOSE YOUR KEYS OR
LOCK YOURSELF OUT
You can purchase a new key at your Lexus dealer if you
can give them the key number and master key.
Even if you lose only one key, contact your Lexus dealer to
make a new key. If you lose all your master keys, you cannot
make new keys; the whole engine immobilizer system must be
replaced.
See the suggestion given in Keysº on page 8.
You can use the wireless remote control system with the new
key. Contact your Lexus dealer for detailed information.
If your keys are locked in the vehicle and you cannot get a
duplicate, many Lexus dealers can still open the door for you
using special tools. If your vehicle is equipped with Lexus Link
System, call the Lexus Link Call Center 1-800-25-LEXUS
(Toll-Free) (1-800-255-3987). Once you provide the Lexus
Link Call Center Advisor with your Lexus Link PIN (Personal
Identification Number), or personal security word, they will
unlock your vehicle.

IN CASE OF AN EMERGENCY
486
NOTICE
You must provide the Lexus Link operator with your
Lexus Link PIN (Personal Identification Number) or
personal security word, before they lock/unlock your
vehicle. However, the Lexus Link System will not be
able to lock or unlock your vehicle if it has been parked
for 48 hours or more after the ignition is turned off.
Upon subscription expiration, all Lexus Link services
(i.e. automatic notification, emergency call functions,
service call functions) are deactivated.
If you must break a window to get in, we suggest breaking the
smallest side window because it is the least expensive to
replace. Be extremely cautious to avoid glass cuts.

MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS
Your Lexus vehicle has been designed to have 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 the Owner's Guideº,
Owner's Manual Supplementº or Warranty Bookletº for
complete warranty information.
General maintenance
General maintenance items are those day-to-day care
practices that are important to your vehicle for proper
operation. It is the owner's responsibility to ensure that the
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 Owner's
Manual Supplement/Scheduled Maintenanceº are those
required to be serviced at regular intervals.For details of your maintenance schedule, read the Owner's
Manual Supplement/Scheduled Maintenanceº.
It is recommended that only genuine Lexus parts be used
for maintenance or for the repair of the emission control
system.
The owner may elect to use non-Lexus supplied parts for
replacement purposes without invalidating the emission
control system warranty. However, use of replacement
parts which are not of equivalent quality may impair the
effectiveness of the emission control systems.
You may also elect to have maintenance, replacement, or
repair of the emission control devices and system
performed by any automotive repair establishment or
individual without invalidating this warranty. See
Owner's Guideº, Owner's Manual Supplementº or
Warranty Bookletº for complete warranty information.
Where to go for service?
Lexus technicians are well-trained specialists and are kept up
to date with the latest service information through technical
bulletins, service tips, and in-dealership training programs.
They are well informed about the operation of all the systems
on your vehicle.
You can be confident that your Lexus dealer's service
department performs the best job to meet the maintenance
requirements of your vehicle Ð reliably and economically.

MAINTENANCE
489 Your copy of the repair order is proof that all required
maintenance has been performed for warranty coverage. 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 Guideº, Owner's Manual
Supplementº or Warranty Bookletº for the details.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Listed below are the general maintenance items that should be
performed at the intervals specified. It is recommended that
any problem you notice be brought to the attention of your
Lexus dealer or qualified service shop for their advice.
CAUTION
Make these checks only with adequate ventilation if you
run the engine.
Engine compartment
Items listed below should be checked from time to time,
e.g. each time when refueling.

the see-through reservoir when the engine is cold. See page
519 for additional information.

and not blocked with leaves, dirt, or insects. See page 521 for
