■Repair and replacement
It is recommended that genuine Lexus parts 
be used for repairs to ensure performance 
of each system. If non-Lexus parts are used 
in replacement or if a repair shop other than 
a Lexus dealer perfor ms repairs, confirm 
the warranty coverage.
■Allow inspection and repairs to be per-
formed by a Lexus dealer
●Lexus technicians are well-trained spe-
cialists and are kept up to date with the 
latest service information. They are well 
informed about the operations of all sys-
tems on your vehicle.
●Keep a copy of the repa ir order. It proves 
that the maintenance that has been per-
formed is under warra nty coverage. If any 
problem should arise while your vehicle is 
under warranty, your Lexus dealer will 
promptly take care of it.
General maintenance should be per-
formed on a daily basis. This can be 
done by yourself or by a Lexus dealer.
Scheduled maintenance should be 
performed at specified intervals 
according to the maintenance sched-
ule.
For details about ma intenance items and 
schedules, refer to the “Warranty and Ser-
vice Guide”, “Owner’s Manual Supple-
ment” or “Scheduled Maintenance”.
