The California Air Resources Board
(CARB) and Lexus are pleased to
explain the emission control system
warranty for your 2008 vehicle. In
California, new motor vehicles must
be designed, built and equipped to
meet the state’s stringent anti-smog
standards. CARB regulations require
that Lexus must warrant the emission
control system on your vehicle for the
time periods indicated on the next
page, provided there has been no
abuse, neglect or improper mainte-
nance of your vehicle.
Your emission control system may
include parts such as the fuel injection
system, ignition system, catalytic con-
verter and engine computer. Also
included may be hoses, belts, connec-
tors and other emissions-related
assemblies.
Where a warrantable condition exists,
Lexus will repair your vehicle at no
cost to you, including diagnosis, parts

Introduction
GENERAL MAINTENANCE AND REGULAR USE
MAINTENANCE
42
In addition to scheduled maintenance,
your Lexus requires ongoing general
maintenance such as fluid checks and
visual inspections. The recommended
guidelines for inspections are listed
below. Please refer to the “Mainte-
nance” section of the Owner’s Manual
for a detailed description of inspec-
tion procedures.
When Refueling
When refueling, perform these
inspections:
• Check engine oil level using
the dipstick
• Visually check engine coolant
level on the see-through
reservoir (under cover)
• Visually check brake fluid level
on the see-through reservoir
• Visually check power steering
fluid level on the see-through
reservoir (under cover)
• Visually check condition of
battery (under cover)
• Check level of windshield
washer fluid
Every 30 Days
At least once every 30 days, perform
these inspections:
• Check tire pressure
• Check tires for damage
and wear
When Cleaning the Interior
• Remove dirt and dust with a
vacuum cleaner. Wipe dirty sur-
faces with a soft cloth dampened
with warm water.
• When cleaning carpet or cloth
interior, remove dirt and dust
with a vacuum cleaner. Apply
a foaming-type carpet cleaner
with a sponge or brush, allowing
cleaner to work for a few min-
utes to loosen dirt. Continue by
rubbing carpet or cloth interior
in a circular motion. Wipe off any
excess cleaner with a clean cloth.
If any dirt remains, repeat process.
Best results are obtained by
keeping carpet and cloth interior
as dry as possible.
• When cleaning leather interior,
remove dirt and dust with a
vacuum cleaner. Using a sponge,
apply a small amount of neutral
