TSIB UPDATE NOTICE:
The information contained in this TSIB supercedes TSIB No. PG009–02.
TSIB No. PG009–02 is now obsolete and should be discarded.
A battery in a stored vehicle is subject to conditions that can reduce its performance and
life. These conditions include storage period, temperature, parasitic drain, and battery
load. Because of these factors, battery inspection and maintenance are required in order
to ensure proper operation and optimal battery life.
As a matter of policy, Lexus does not provide battery warranty coverage for discharged
and/or failed batteries due to lack of maintenance. It is the dealer’s responsibility to
maintain the specified State of Charge (SOC) of the vehicle’s battery while in stock and
assure proper State of Charge (SOC) at delivery.
To eliminate customer service concerns due to an undercharged battery during the first
few weeks of ownership, all dealers should check battery State of Charge (SOC) and
recharge, if necessary, just prior to delivery (i.e., within 48 hours of delivery).
