WARRANTY*Lexus provides the first two scheduled maintenance services at no charge. See page 4 for details.

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
performed 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
qualified person or facility. However,
Lexus recommends having mainte -
nance performed by an authorized
Lexus dealership.
Lexus dealership technicians are
specially trained to maintain and repair
Lexus vehicles. They stay current on
the latest service information through
Lexus technical bulletins, service
publications and training courses.
Many are also certified through the
Lexus Commitment to Perfection
Certifica t ion Program, which requires
specialized, 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.W HERE TO GO

MAINTENANCE40 Maintaining your vehicle according to
the recommendations in this booklet
is required to ensure that your
warranty coverage remains intact.
You should keep detailed records of
vehicle 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
warranty coverage. Ask your dealer
for an explanation of any recom -
mended maintenance not included in
the scheduled maintenance log.
For a complete description of
Lexus warranty coverages, see
pages 16–33 of this booklet.

Scheduled Maintenance LogScheduled m a I n T enance l og
MAINTENANCE44 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:
• I f 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.
• I f 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
calendar to remind yourself to obtain
maintenance every six months. Special Operating
Conditions In addition to standard maintenance
items, vehicles that are driven
under special operating conditions
require further maintenance service.
These special operating conditions,
which put added demands on a
vehicle, include:
• Driving on dirt roads or on
dusty roads
• Repeated trips of less than five
miles in temperatures below
32° F or 0° C
• Extensive idling and/or low-
speed driving for long distances,
such as police, taxi or door-to-
door delivery use
If you drive primarily under any
of the conditions noted, you
should replace the engine oil
and oil filter every six months
or 5,000 miles. Some of these
special operating conditions
require other maintenance items;
these items are indicated in each
maintenance chart.
