You have purchased one of the finest vehicles built in
the world today, and it is backed by one of the finest
warranties in the industry. This excellent warranty
coverage demonstrates not only our confidence in
Lexus vehicles, but also our commitment to every
Lexus customer. We’re dedicated to ensuring that you
enjoy exceptional quality, dependability and peace of
mind throughout your ownership experience.
To further demonstrate our commitment to our
customers’ satisfaction, occasionally we may establish
a special policy adjustment to pay for specific repairs
that are no longer covered by warranty. When we
establish such a policy adjustment, we mail details
to all applicable owners on record. That’s why it is
important to send in the card at the back of this
booklet if you change your address or if you have
purchased your Lexus from a previous owner.
You’ve made a wise decision to purchase a Lexus.
Your vehicle delivers world-class luxury and perfor-
mance, along with an unparalleled commitment from
Lexus to ensuring your satisfaction. You can be
confident — as we are — that you’ll enjoy owning
your Lexus as much as you enjoy driving it.
All warranty information is the latest available at the
time of publication and, with the exception of the
emission control warranties, is subject to change
without notice.
This section of the
Owner’s Manual Supplement
describes the terms of Lexus warranty coverage
as well as general owner responsibilities. The
section entitled “Maintenance Information”
beginning on page 82 describes your vehicle’s
maintenance requirements. Be sure to review
this information carefully, since proper mainte-
nance is required to ensure that warranty cover-
age remains intact.
