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 performs 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 operation of all sys-

tems on your vehicle.

●

Keep a copy of the repair order. It proves 

that the maintenance that has been per-

formed is under warranty 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 maintenance items and 
schedules, refer to the “Warranty and Ser-
vice Guide”, “Owner’s Manual Supple-
ment” or “Scheduled Maintenance”.
