To help ensure that your ownership experience is
pleasant, convenient and trouble-free, Lexus provides
you with a variety of complimentary services. These
services are described on the following pages. Other
valuable owner benefits are described in the section
entitled “Other Benefits and Assistance” beginning
on page 7.
First Two Maintenance Services
The first two scheduled maintenance services for your
Lexus are provided at no charge. The first service is at
30 days and includes a body/chassis inspection, a check
for fluid leaks and a vehicle road-test. The second
service is at 5,000 miles/4 months or 7,500 miles/
6 months, depending on which maintenance interval
you use. This service includes a change of the engine
oil and oil filter, rotation of the tires and a vehicle
road-test. See page 99 to determine the proper mainte-
nance interval for your vehicle.
To obtain your complimentary scheduled maintenance
services, call an authorized Lexus dealership to make
an appointment, or take your vehicle to the dealership.
The dealership will verify performance of the services
on page 105 of this booklet.

dealership for a warranty-covered condition that
requires more than eight hours to repair, Lexus will
provide you with a complimentary loaner vehicle for
up to five days.
