You should know as much about the quality and
importance of proper maintenance of your new
vehicle as the people who built it.

The Lexus authorized Repair Manual tells you
how to maintain your vehicle and enables you to
correctly perform your own maintenance.

The best way to keep your new vehicle in top running
order is to maintain it properly from the moment you
drive it off the showroom floor.

The Lexus authorized Repair Manual is packed with
literally everything you need to know to perform your
own maintenance in virtually every area of your new
vehicle.

Hybrid vehicles contain high voltage parts and cables that are extremely dangerous and may cause severe injury or even death if
handled improperly.  Only technicians who have participated in technical training for the inspection and servicing of high voltage
systems are qualified to do maintenance work on components related to the vehicle’s hybrid system.  For repair of your hybrid
system, visit your Lexus dealer or other qualified technicians.
