You are responsible for ensuring that
your Lexus is operated and main-
tained according to the instructions
in the Owner’s Manual and the
“Maintenance Information” section
of this guide.
You should keep detailed records of
vehicle maintenance, since under
some circumstances they may be
required for warranty coverage.
These records should include date of
service, mileage at time of service
and a description of service per-
formed and/or parts installed. For
your convenience, maintenance logs
are included in the “Maintenance
Information” section of this guide. If
you sell your vehicle, you should give
your maintenance records to the new
owner.
Lexus will not deny a warranty claim
solely because you do not have
records to show that you maintained
your vehicle. However, damage or
failures caused by lack of proper
maintenance are not covered under
warranty. You may have maintenance per-
formed on your vehicle by any quali-
fied person or facility. However, Lexus
recommends having maintenance
performed by an authorized Lexus
dealership.
Lexus dealership technicians are spe-
cially trained to maintain and repair
Lexus vehicles. They stay current on
the latest service information through
Lexus technical bulletins, service pub-
lications and training courses. Many
are also certified through the Lexus
Commitment to Perfection Certifica-
tion Program, which requires special-
ized, state-of-the-art training as well
as rigorous exams through both
Lexus and the National Institute for
Automotive Service Excellence.
You can be confident you’re getting
the best possible service for your
vehicle when you take it to a Lexus
dealership. Plus, a Lexus dealership
will always use Genuine Lexus Parts
designed specifically for your vehicle.

Introduction
MAINTENANCE AND LEXUS WARRANTY COVERAGE
MAINTENANCE
40
Maintaining your vehicle according to
the recommendations in this booklet
is required to ensure that your war-
ranty coverage remains intact. You
should keep detailed records of vehi-
cle maintenance, including date of
service, mileage at time of service
and a description of service and/or
parts installation performed. The
maintenance logs in this booklet are a
good place to record this information.
If you sell your vehicle, be sure to give
your maintenance records to the new
owner.
Lexus will not deny a warranty claim
solely because you do not have
records to show that you maintained
your vehicle. However, damage or
failures caused by lack of proper
maintenance are not covered under
warranty.
Maintenance and repair services may
be performed by you or by any auto-
motive service provider you choose.
Lexus will not deny a warranty claim
solely because you used a service provider other than a Lexus dealer-
ship for maintenance and repairs.
However, damage or failures caused
by improper maintenance or repairs
are not covered under warranty.
Your dealer may recommend more
frequent maintenance intervals or
more maintenance services than
those listed in the scheduled mainte-
nance log. These additional services
are not required to maintain your war-
ranty coverage. Ask your dealer for
an explanation of any recommended
maintenance not included in the
scheduled maintenance log.
For a complete description of
Lexus warranty coverages, see
pages 16–33 of this booklet.

Determining Your
Maintenance Interval:
Months vs. Mileage
Lexus recommends obtaining sched-
uled maintenance for your vehicle
every six months or 5,000 miles,
whichever occurs first.
For example: • If at six months you have driven
less than 5,000 miles, you
should obtain maintenance at six
months ; don’t wait until 5,000
miles.
• If you drive 5,000 miles in less
than six months, you should
obtain maintenance at 5,000
miles ; don’t wait until six months.
Be sure to keep an eye on your
mileage so that you obtain mainte-
nance when recommended. If you are
a low-mileage driver, mark your cal-
endar to remind yourself to obtain
maintenance every six months.

What are Lexus Personalized
Settings?
Your vehicle includes a variety of
electronic features that can be pro-
grammed to your preferences. For
example, doors can be programmed
to remain locked when you shift into
“Park.” (For more information, see the
“Customizable Features” section of
the Specifications chapter in your
Owner’s Manual .) Programming of
these features is performed once at
no charge, provided you obtain the
service at the 30-day/1,000-mile

ized Settings requires special equip-
ment and may be performed only by
