COMPLIMENTARY SERVICES
Roadside Assistance
Lexus roadside assistance coverage
is for 48 months from your vehicle’s
in-service date, regardless of mileage.
Coverage is provided 24 hours a day,
365 days a year, for vehicles operated
in the United States, U.S. territories
and Canada. Assistance is adminis-
tered through the American
Automobile Association.
Services Provided
•Roadside services such as bat-
tery jump-start, tire change, fuel
delivery, vehicle extrication and
towing in case of minor accident.
•Towing to the nearest Lexus
dealership (or an alternate repair
facility, if necessary).
•Assistance in locating alternate
transportation and lodging.
How to Get Help

the following steps:
1) Call (800)25-LEXUS (800/255-
3987).
2)Have as much of the following
information as possible:
•17-digit Vehicle Identification
Number (VIN) found on the

address

Quality Control
You may have noticed a few miles on
the odometer when you took delivery
of your Lexus. This mileage is a result
of the comprehensive process used to
ensure the quality of your vehicle. This
process includes extensive inspec-
tions during and after production. The
final inspection takes place at the sell-
ing dealership and includes a road-
test conducted by a trained Lexus
technician.
If you’d like to know more about
Lexus quality-control procedures, ask
a Lexus dealership service consultant.
Vehicle Service History
When you have your vehicle serviced
at a Lexus dealership, your service
information is recorded in the Lexus
National Service History database.
This is the first database of its kind in
the automotive industry. It can be
accessed by any Lexus dealership in
the United States — a great conven-
ience if you relocate or need to have
your vehicle serviced while traveling.
Vehicle Service Agreements
If you plan to keep your vehicle for
several years or if you accumulate
mileage quickly, you may want to pur-
chase a Lexus vehicle service agree-
ment. These agreements cover the
cost of specific repairs beyond the
factory warranty period. They also
cover services such as towing, substi-
tute transportation and lodging to
minimize your inconvenience should
your vehicle require repair. Lexus
vehicle service agreements are avail-
able with a variety of coverage
options. A Lexus dealership sales
consultant can help you select the
plan that’s best for you.
Body Repairs
If you’re involved in a collision, you
want your vehicle to be returned to
its pre-accident condition when
repaired. That’s why it is important to
make sure repairs are made only with
Genuine Lexus Parts. Some repair
shops and insurance companies may
suggest using imitation or salvaged
parts to save money. However, these
parts do not meet Lexus’ high stan-
dards for quality, fit and corrosion
resistance. In addition, imitation and
salvaged parts (and any damage or
failures they may cause) are not cov-
ered by any Lexus warranty.
The best way to ensure that your vehi-
cle is repaired with Genuine Lexus
Parts is to take it to a Lexus dealer-
ship. Each dealership works with
selected collision repair centers that
meet Lexus’ strict requirements for

OTHER BENEFITS AND ASSISTANCE
training, equipment, quality and cus-
tomer satisfaction. These repair cen-
ters use Genuine Lexus Parts exclu-
sively in the repair of Lexus vehicles.
The Smart Key
Your Lexus vehicle was made with
two “Smart Keys” and an aluminum
key-number plate. Each Smart Key
includes an electronic main key that
has an integrated mechanical back-up
key. The electronic key controls the
remote-entry and theft-deterrent sys-
tems, enables the push-button start
switch and controls the engine immo-
bilizer. The mechanical key can be
removed from the electronic key and
used to operate the driver’s door lock,
the glove box lock and the trunk lock
(if equipped).
Replacing the Key
Your Lexus dealer can generate
replacement keys. Certain bonded/
registered locksmiths may also be
able to generate replacement keys.
When ordering a new key, bring all
keys for the vehicle to your dealer-
ship. If a Smart Key or the key-num-
ber plate is not available, a Lexus
dealer or certain locksmiths can
obtain the key code from a restricted-
access database. These businesses
can also access a service utility to
register the keys to the vehicle if all
registered keys have been lost.
If you lock your key in your vehicle
and do not have a spare, your dealer
can make a new mechanical key from
the code on the key-number plate.
Certain bonded/registered lock-
smiths may also be able to generate
a replacement mechanical key. If a
Lexus dealer is not available, please
refer to www.aloa.org to find a bond-
ed/registered locksmith who per-
forms high-security key service.
Keeping the Key Safe
Replacing a Smart Key may be costly.
We advise you to keep a spare Smart
Key and the key-number plate in a
safe place. If you record the key num-
ber in more than one place, do not
record it in a way that can be easily
identified and associated with the
vehicle. For example, don’t leave the
number somewhere that can be
accessed by a valet. It is wise to keep
a copy of the key number outside of
the vehicle.

If your concern has still not been
resolved to your satisfaction, Lexus
offers additional assistance through:
National Center for Dispute
Settlement (NCDS)
P.O. B ox 457
Mt. Clemens, MI 48046
[phone]
Important: You must use NCDS prior
to exercising rights or seeking reme-
dies available to you through a court
action pursuant to the Magnuson-
Moss Warranty Act. In addition, you
must use NCDS if you are required to
do so prior to exercising certain rights
or seeking certain remedies available
under the Lemon Laws of your state.
See the Lemon Law Guide for specific
requirements applicable in your state.
However, if your state law permits and
if you choose to exercise rights and
seek remedies that are not created by
the Act, you need not use NCDS.
NCDS Arbitration
What is the Dispute Settlement
Program?
This program consists of local profes-
sionals who are trained and experi-
enced in arbitration. The arbitrator(s)
appointed by NCDS will arbitrate
your case by reviewing the facts you
present; having the vehicle inspected,
if necessary; and promptly rendering
a fair and equitable decision.
How much will it cost?
The service is provided at no cost
to you. It is part of Lexus’ effort to
promptly and equitably resolve your
concerns. The decision-maker is an
impartial third party. The decision of
the arbitrator(s) is binding on Lexus
but not on you.
Introduction10
IF YOU NEED ASSISTANCE
WARRANTY
2013 GS 350_9-38a 11/18/11 7:05 PM Page 10

What types of disputes
are eligible?
NCDS resolves disputes involving
Lexus product reliability and warranty
performance that arise during the
greater of 1) four years or 50,000
miles from the vehicle’s in-service
date, whichever is earlier; or 2) the
applicable provision of the Lexus New
Vehicle Limited Warranty. However,
NCDS will not arbitrate 1) claims
involving a vehicle used primarily for
commercial purposes unless the
Lemon Laws of your state cover vehi-
cles used for commercial purposes;
or 2) claims that an air bag failed to
deploy or deployed when it should
not have; or 3) disputes regarding
fires and/or accidents and/or theft.
Since there are other additional
exclusions, please contact NCDS
for further information on eligibility
guidelines. You must file a request
for arbitration with NCDS within six
months of the expiration of the eligi-
bility period, provided the concern
or alleged defect was brought to the
attention of Lexus or one of its dealers
during the eligibility period.
How long is the arbitration
process?
The entire process — from the time
NCDS receives your request for arbi-
tration to the arbitrator’s decision —
is designed to take no more than 40
days. A decision may be delayed if:
•You fail to provide certain infor-
mation required by NCDS.
•You fail to make your vehicle
available for inspection by
NCDS in a timely manner (if
an inspection is required).
How do I request arbitration?
To initiate arbitration, you must com-
plete an NCDS customer claim form
and mail it to NCDS. A claim form
is included in the Lemon Law Guide
located in your vehicle, or you may
request a form by calling NCDS at
[phone]. When you call,
please have ready your vehicle identi-
fication number (VIN), the names of
your selling and servicing dealerships,
and the current mileage on your
Lexus.

In addition to completing the cus-
tomer claim form, please provide
NCDS with the following information:
•Vehicle year, make, model, VIN,
mileage and date of purchase.
•A brief description of your com-
plaint and the actions you have
taken to resolve it.
•What action or remedy you
believe would resolve your
problem.
If you are seeking reimbursement for
repairs or incidental expenses, please
provide copies of applicable receipts.
Send your request to:
National Center for Dispute Settlement
P.O. Box 457
Mt. Clemens, MI 48046
Upon receipt of your request, NCDS
will contact you regarding the status
of your case and supply you with
additional details about the program.
How does the arbitration
process work?
When NCDS receives your request,
it will be forwarded to the Lexus area
office for response.
At the request of either party or the
arbitrators, NCDS may schedule a
technical inspection. This may include
an inspection of the vehicle by an
independent technical expert with a
Lexus representative present. The
technical expert will forward his or
her evaluation to NCDS.
An oral hearing will be held prior to
a decision being rendered. At this
hearing, all relevant evidence is
admissible. You and a Lexus repre-
sentative will present both sides of
the case to the NCDS arbitrator(s).
You will each be given an equal
opportunity to give testimony and
provide documents. Then you will
each be given an opportunity for
rebuttal. After considering all testimo-
ny and documents, the arbitrator(s)
will review the applicable legal stan-
dards and render a decision within
10 days.
A settlement satisfactory to all parties
may be negotiated at any time during
the process.

What types of decisions are ren-
dered, and how do I know if
Lexus will abide by the decision
of the arbitrator(s)?
Arbitrated decisions are based on
what the arbitrator(s) believe to be
fair and equitable after applying the
appropriate legal standards. Remedies
include but are not limited to repairs;
reimbursement for repairs and inci-
dental expenses, such as towing costs;
and repurchase or replacement of
your vehicle.
The decision of the arbitrator(s) is
binding on Lexus but not on you.
Lexus must comply with the decision
shortly after it is rendered, usually
within 30 days of your acceptance
of the decision. NCDS will contact
you within 10 days of scheduled
compliance to ensure that Lexus
has complied in a timely manner.
Are there limits to the scope
of arbitrated decisions?
Arbitrated decisions do not include:
•Attorney fees
•Punitive damages
•Multiple damages
•Consequential damages, other
than incidental damages that you
may be entitled to under law
What other recourse do I have?
If you are dissatisfied with the arbitra-
tor’s decision or Lexus’ compliance,
you may pursue any other legal reme-
dies available to you, including small
claims court. You should be aware
that the decision of the arbitrator(s)
is admissible as evidence in any legal
proceedings concerning your vehicle.
Is the Dispute Settlement
Program subject to change?
The information in this booklet about
the program is correct as of the date
of printing. However, the program
may be changed without notice.

Satisfaction Department at (800)

Settlement Program.

Limitations
The performance of necessary
repairs and adjustments is the exclu-
sive remedy under these warranties

Any implied warranty of merchant-
ability or fitness for a particular
purpose is limited to the duration
of these written warranties. Some
states do not allow restrictions on how
long an implied warranty lasts, so this
limitation may not apply to you.
