2014 Lexus ES350 service

Other Benefits and assistance
The best way to ensure that your
vehicle is repaired with Genuine Lexus
Parts is to take it to a Lexus dealership.
Each dealership works with selected
collision repair centers that meet
Lexus’ strict requirements for training,
equipment, quality and customer
satisfaction. These repair centers
use Genuine Lexus Parts exclusively
in the repair of Lexus vehicles.
The Smart Key
Your Lexus vehicle was made with
two “Smart Keys” and an aluminum
key-number plate. Each Smart Key
includes an electronic main key that
has an integrated mechanical backup
key. The electronic key controls the
remote-entry and theft-deterrent
systems, enables the push-button
start switch and controls the engine
immobilizer. The mechanical key
can be removed from the electronic
key and used to operate the driver’s
door lock, the glove box lock and
the trunk lock (if equipped).
Replacing the Key
Your Lexus dealer can generate
replacement keys. Certain bonded/
registered locksmiths may also be
able to generate replacement keys.
When ordering a new key, bring all
keys for the vehicle to your dealership. If a Smart Key or the key-num
ber
plate is not available, a Lexus dealer
or certain locksmiths can obtain the
key code from a restricted-access
database. These businesses can also
access a service utility to register the
keys to the vehicle if all registered
keys have been lost.
If you lock your key in your vehicle
and do not have a spare, your dealer
can make a new mechanical key
from the code on the key-number
plate. Certain bonded/registered
locksmiths may also be able to
generate a replacement mechanical
key. If a Lexus dealer is not available,
please refer to www.aloa.org to find
a bonded/registered locksmith who
performs high-security key service.
Keeping the Key Safe
Replacing a Smart Key may be costly.
We advise you to keep a spare
Smart Key and the key-number
plate in a safe place. If you record the
key number in more than one place,
do not record it in a way that can be
easily identified and associated with
the vehicle. For example, don’t leave
the number somewhere that can be
accessed by a valet. It is wise to keep
a copy of the key number outside
of the vehicle.

Step 3
If your concern has still not been
resolved to your satisfaction, Lexus
offers additional assistance through:
National Center for Dispute
Settlement (NCDS)
P.O. Box 457
Mt. Clemens, MI 48046
(866) 272-4872
Important: You must use NCDS
prior to exercising rights or seeking
remedies available to you through
a court action pursuant to the
Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act.
In addition, you must use NCDS if
you are required to do so prior to
exercising certain rights or seeking
certain remedies available under
the Lemon Laws of your state. See
the Lemon Law Guide for specific
requirements applicable in your state.
However, if your state law permits and
if you choose to exercise rights and
seek remedies that are not created
by the Act, you need not use NCDS.NCDS Arbitration
What is the Dispute
Settlement Program?
This program consists of local
professionals who are trained
and experienced in arbitration.
The arbitrator(s) appointed by
NCDS will arbitrate your case by
reviewing the facts you present;
having the vehicle inspected, if
necessary; and promptly rendering
a fair and equitable decision.
How much will it cost?
The service is provided at no cost
to you. It is part of Lexus’ effort to
promptly and equitably resolve
your concerns. The decision-maker
is an impartial third party. The
decision of the arbitrator(s) is
binding on Lexus but not on you.

What types of disputes
are eligible?
NCDS resolves disputes involving
Lexus product reliability and warranty
performance that arise during the
greater of 1) four years or 50,000
miles from the vehicle’s in-service
date, whichever is earlier; or 2) the
appli cable provision of the Lexus
New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
However, NCDS will not arbitrate
1) claims involving a vehicle used
primarily for commercial purposes
unless the Lemon Laws of your
state cover vehicles used for
commercial purposes; or 2) claims
that an air bag failed to deploy or
deployed when it should not have;
or 3) disputes regarding fires and/or
accidents and/or theft. Since there
are other additional exclusions,
please contact NCDS for further
information on eligibility guidelines.
You must file a request for arbitration
with NCDS within six months of
the expiration of the eligibility
period, provided the concern or
alleged defect was brought to the
attention of Lexus or one of its
dealers during the eligibility period. How long is the
arbitration process?
The entire process — from the time
NCDS receives your request for
arbitration to the arbitrator’s decision —

is designed to take no more than
40 days. A decision may be delayed if:
• You fail to provide certain
information required by NCDS.
• You fail to make your vehicle
available for inspection by
NCDS in a timely manner
(if an inspection is required).
How do I request arbitration?
To initiate arbitration, you must
complete an NCDS customer claim
form and mail it to NCDS. A claim
form is included in the Lemon Law
Guide located in your vehicle, or
you may request a form by calling
NCDS at (866) 272-4872. When
you call, please have ready your
vehicle identification number
(VIN), the names of your selling
and servicing dealerships, and the
current mileage on your Lexus.
