FEDERAL EMISSION CONTROL WARRANTY

WHAT IS COVERED

AND HOW LONG

Emission Defect Warranty

Lexus warrants that your vehicle:

•

Was designed, built and equipped to conform at the time of sale with applicable federal emissions standards.

•

Is free from defects in materials and workmanship that may cause the vehicle to fail to meet these standards.

Federal regulations require that this warranty be in effect for two years or 24,000 miles from the vehicle’s in-service date, whichever occurs first. However, under the terms of the Basic Warranty, Lexus provides coverage of four years or 50,000 miles, which ever occurs first. Specific components may have longer coverage under the terms of the

Powertrain Warranty. Additionally, components marked “8/80” in the parts list on pages 24–25 have coverage of eight years or 80,000 miles, whichever occurs first.

Emission Performance

Warranty

Some states and localities have established vehicle inspection and maintenance (I/M) programs to encourage proper vehicle maintenance. If an EPA-approved

I/M program is in force in your area, you are eligible for Emission

Performance Warranty coverage.

Under the terms of the Emission

Performance Warranty and federal regulations, Lexus will make all nec essary repairs if both of the following occur:

•

Your vehicle fails to meet applicable emissions standards as determined by an

EPA-approved emissions test.

•

This failure results or will result in some penalty to you — such as a fine or denial of the right to use your vehicle — under local, state or federal law.

This warranty is in effect for two years or 24,000 miles from the vehicle’s in-service date, whichever occurs first. Additionally, components marked “8/80” in the parts list on pages 24–25 have coverage of eight years or 80,000 miles, whichever occurs first.

FEDERAL EMISSION CONTROL WARRANTY

MAINTENANCE

You are responsible for performance of the required maintenance indicated in the Owner’s Manual and this guide.

Lexus will not deny a warranty claim solely because you do not have records to show that you maintained your vehicle. However, any failure or noncompliance caused by lack of maintenance is not covered by this warranty.

When maintenance and repairs are paid for by you, these services may be performed by you or by any automotive service provider you choose. Lexus will not deny a warranty claim solely because you used a service provider other than a Lexus dealership for maintenance and repairs. However, any failure or noncompliance caused by improper maintenance or repairs is not covered by this warranty.

REPLACEMENT PARTS

To ensure optimum performance and maintain the quality built into your vehicle’s emission control systems, Lexus recommends the use of Genuine Lexus Parts when servicing or repairing the systems.

Warranty coverage is not dependent upon the use of any particular brand of replacement parts and you may elect to use non-Genuine

Lexus Parts for maintenance and repairs. However, use of replacement parts that are not equivalent in quality to Genuine Lexus Parts may impair the effectiveness of the emission control systems.

If you use replacement parts that have maintenance or replacement schedules different from those of

Genuine Lexus Parts, you must follow the main tenance and replacement schedules for the parts you are using. In addition, you should ensure that such parts are warranted by their manufacturers to be equivalent to Genuine Lexus Parts.

FEDERAL EMISSION CONTROL WARRANTY

IF YOUR VEHICLE FAILS

AN EMISSIONS TEST

If your vehicle fails an EPA-approved emissions test, you may make a claim under the Emission Performance

Warranty. To do so, take your vehicle to an authorized Lexus dealership and present a copy of the emissions test report. Also, take your maintenance records in case they are needed.

If your claim qualifies for coverage, the dealership will repair your vehicle within 30 days (unless a shorter period is required by law). If your claim is denied, Lexus will notify you in writing of the reason within the same period. If we fail to do so, we will repair your vehicle free of charge. The only exceptions allowed are when you request or agree to a delay, or when a delay is caused by factors beyond the control of Lexus or the dealership.

For information on how to obtain service under the Emission

Defect Warranty, see page 38,

“Obtaining Warranty Service.”
