You have purchased one of the finest
vehicles built in the world today, and it
is backed by one of the finest war-
ranties in the industry. This excellent
warranty coverage demonstrates not
only our confidence in Lexus vehicles,
but also our commitment to every
Lexus customer. We’re dedicated to
ensuring that you enjoy exceptional
quality, dependability and peace of
mind throughout your ownership
experience.
To further demonstrate our commit-
ment to our customers’ satisfaction,
occasionally we may establish a
special policy adjustment to pay for
specific repairs that are no longer
covered by warranty. When we estab-
lish such a policy adjustment, we mail
details to all applicable owners on
record. That’s why it is important to
send in the card at the back of this
booklet if you change your address
or if you have purchased your Lexus
from a previous owner.
You’ve made a wise decision to pur-
chase a Lexus. Your vehicle delivers
world-class luxury and performance,
along with an unparalleled commit-
ment from Lexus to ensuring your sat-
isfaction. You can be confident — as
we are — that you’ll enjoy owning your
Lexus as much as you enjoy driving it.

available at the time of publication

sion control warranties, is subject to
