■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

cialists and are kept up to date with the
latest service information. They are well

that the maintenance that has been per-
formed is under warranty coverage. If
any problem should arise while your vehi-
cle 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.

ule.
