Maintenance requirements
■Repair and replacement
It is recommended that genuine Lexus parts be used for repairs to ensure perfor-
mance of each system. If non-Lexus parts are used in replacement or if a repair
sho
p other than a Lexus dealer performs repairs, confirm the warranty coverage.
To ensure safe and economical drivin g, day-to-day care and regular main-
tenance are essential. It is the owne r
’s responsibility to perform regular
checks. Lexus recommends performing the following maintenance:
■ General maintenance
General maintenance should be pe r
formed on a daily basis. This
can be done by yourself or by a Lexus dealer.
■ Scheduled maintenance
Scheduled maintenance should be per
formed at specified intervals
according to the maintenance schedule.
For details about maintenance items and schedules, refer to the “War -
ranty and Service Guide”, “Owner’s Manual
Supplement” or “Scheduled
Maintenance”.
■ Do-it-yourself maintenance
You can perform some maintenance procedures by yourself.
Please be aware that do-it-your self maintenance may af
fect war-
ranty coverage.
The use of Lexus repair manuals is recommended.
For details about warranty coverage, refer to the separate “Owner’s
Guide”, “W
arranty and Service Guide”, “Owner’s Manual Supplement”
or “Warranty Booklet”.
