Regular maintenance is essential
to obtaining the highest level of
performance, safety and reli-
ability from your Lexus. It can also
enhance your vehicle’s resale value.
This section of the Warranty and
Services Guide is designed to help
you make sure your vehicle receives
proper and timely maintenance.
It includes factory-recommended
maintenance guidelines as well as
logs in which to document your
vehicle’s maintenance history.
In addition to scheduled mainte -
nance, your Lexus requires ongoing
general maintenance such as fluid
checks and visual inspections. These
procedures are listed on pages
42–43 of this booklet and described
in detail in the “Maintenance”
section of the Owner’s Manual. It is especially important to check
your vehicle’s engine oil once a
month and to regularly replace
the engine oil and oil filter. failure
to do so can cause oil starvation
and
/or oil gelling, which can
result in severe damage to your
vehicle and require costly repairs
that are not covered by the new
Vehicle limited Warranty.
With proper maintenance and care,
your vehicle will last longer and
deliver more dependable, economical
performance. Follow this booklet’s
recommendations and you’ll enjoy
maximum reliability and peace of
mind from your Lexus for many
years to come.

In addition to scheduled maintenance,
your Lexus requires ongoing general
maintenance such as fluid checks
and visual inspections. The recom -
mended guidelines for inspections
are listed below. Please refer to
the “Mainte nance” section of the
Owner’s Manual for a detailed
description of inspection procedures.
Every 30 Days
At least once every 30 days,
perform these inspections:
• Check engine oil level using
the dipstick
• Visually check engine coolant
level on the see-through reservoir
• Visually check brake fluid level
on the see-through reservoir
• Visually check condition
of battery
• Check level of windshield
washer fluid
• Check tire pressure
• Check tires for damage and wear
• Check installation of driver’s
floor mat

When Cleaning the Interior
•
Remove dirt and dust with a
vacuum cleaner. Wipe dirty
surfaces with a soft cloth
dampened with warm water.
• When cleaning leather interior,
remove dirt and dust with
a vacuum cleaner. Using a
sponge, apply a small amount
of neutral wool detergent mixed
in water, rubbing in a circular
motion. Wipe off any excess
detergent and let leather dry
in an open-air location.
• When cleaning carpet, 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 minutes to loosen dirt.
Continue by rubbing carpet
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 the
carpet as dry as possible.
