Water on the floor
Do not wash the vehicle floor with water.
If water contacts audio system or other electrical components under the floor carpet, it
may cause the vehicle to malfunction. Water may also cause the body to rust.
■
When cleaning the inside of the windshield
Do not allow glass cleaner to contact the lens of the front camera. Also, do not touch the
lens.
■
Cleaning the inside of the windshield and rear window
●
Do not use glass cleaners to clean the rear window, as this may cause damage to the
rear window defogger heater wires or antenna. Use a cloth dampened with lukewarm
water to gently wipe the window clean. Wipe the window in strokes running parallel to
the heater wires or antenna.

Where to go for maintenance service?
In order to maintain your vehicle in the best possible condition, Lexus recommends that

by authorized Lexus retailers or Lexus authorized repairers, or any reliable repairers.
For repairs and services covered by your warranty, please visit an authorized Lexus
retailer or repairer, who will use genuine Lexus parts in repairing any difficulties you
may encounter. There can also be advantages in utilizing authorized Lexus retailer or
repairers for non-warranty repairs and services, as members of the Lexus network will be
able to expertly assist you with any difficulties you may encounter.
Your Lexus retailer or Lexus authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer will perform
all of the scheduled maintenance on your vehicle reliably and economically due to their
experience with Lexus vehicles.

Scheduled maintenance outline (for Azerbaijan, Armenia and Russia)
●
Scheduled maintenance should be performed at specified intervals according to
the maintenance schedule.
The interval for scheduled maintenance is determined by the odometer reading
or the time interval, whichever comes first, shown in the schedule.
Maintenance beyond the last period should be performed at the same intervals.
●
Where to go for the maintenance service?
It makes good sense to take your vehicle to your local Lexus dealer for the
maintenance service as well as other inspections and repairs.
Lexus technicians are well-trained specialists receiving the latest service infor-
mation through technical bulletins, service tips and in-dealership training pro-
grams. They learn to work on all Lexus models before they work on your vehicle,
rather than while they are working on it. Doesn’t that seem like the best way?
Your Lexus dealer has invested a lot of money in special Lexus tools and service
equipment. It helps them to do the job better and at less cost.
Your Lexus dealer’s service department will perform all of the scheduled main-
tenance on your vehicle reliably and economically.
Rubber hoses, such as for the cooling and heater system, brake system, and fuel
system, should be inspected by a qualified technician according to the Lexus
maintenance schedule.
Rubber hoses are particularly important maintenance items. Have any deterio-
rated or damaged hoses replaced immediately. Note that rubber hoses will
deteriorate with age, resulting in swelling, chafing or cracking.
Resetting the engine oil change message
After the engine oil has been replaced, the engine oil maintenance data should be
reset. Peform the following procedure:

Do-it-yourself maintenance
What about do-it-yourself maintenance?
Many maintenance items are easy to do yourself if you have a little mechanical
ability and a few basic automotive tools.
Note, however, that some maintenance tasks require special tools and skills. These
are best performed by qualified technicians. Even if you’re an experienced do-it-
yourself mechanic, we recommend that repairs and maintenance be conducted by
any authorized Lexus retailer or Lexus authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer.
Any authorized Lexus retailer or repairer will keep a record of maintenance, which
could be useful should you ever require Warranty Service. Should you choose
to select a qualified and equipped professional other than an authorized Lexus
repairer to service or maintain your vehicle, we recommend that you request that a
record of maintenance be kept.
INFORMATION
■
Does your vehicle need repairs?
Be on the alert for changes in performance and sounds, and visual tip-offs that indicate
service is needed. Some important clues are:
●
Engine misfire (or misses), stumbling or pinging
●
Appreciable loss of power
●
Strange engine noises
●
A fluid leak under the vehicle
However, water dripping from the air conditioning system after use is normal.
●
Change in exhaust sound
This may indicate a dangerous carbon monoxide leak. Drive with the windows open
and have the exhaust system checked immediately.
●
Flat-looking tires, excessive tire squeal when cornering, uneven tire wear
●
Vehicle pulls to one side when driven straight on a level road
●
Strange noises related to suspension movement
●
Loss of brake effectiveness, spongy feeling brake pedal, pedal almost touches the
floor, vehicle pulls to one side when braking
●
Engine coolant temperature continually higher than normal
If you notice any of these clues, take your vehicle to any authorized Lexus retailer or
Lexus authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer as soon as possible. Your vehicle may
need adjustment or repair.
