RX 350 and RX 450h
UPDATED MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS
Important Supplement to Your Warranty and Services Guide
121341_CVR_RX350-450 1/20/10 12:36 AM Page FC_1

The RX 450h is a gas/electric hybrid
vehicle that has both high-voltage DC
and AC systems as well as a 12-volt
system. Both DC and AC high volt-
age are very dangerous and can
cause personal injury, severe burns,
electric shock and even fatal injury
unless appropriate precautions are
taken.
To avoid personal injury, please follow
all caution labels attached to high-
voltage parts. Do not touch or
attempt to remove or replace any
high-voltage (orange-colored) wiring
and connectors. Do not touch the
service plug behind the trim under
the left rear seat.
If an accident occurs, do not touch
any high-voltage wiring, connectors
or parts such as the inverter under the
hood or the hybrid battery assembly
under the rear seat.
Do not touch the potassium hydroxide
electrolyte that might spill or leak
from the hybrid battery as the result of
an accident. If potassium hydroxide
electrolyte gets on your skin or in
your eyes, neutralize it immediately
with a saturated boric acid solution
(ratio: 80 grams boric acid to two
liters water). Seek immediate medical
attention.
If a vehicle fire occurs, extinguish
it with a Class D powder-type fire
extinguisher.

IMPORTANT NOTICE
This booklet replaces the “Scheduled Maintenance Log” section of the
Warranty and Services Guide in your glove box. Please refer to the booklet
you are now reading for information on scheduled maintenance requirements
for your vehicle. The “Scheduled Maintenance Log” section of the Warranty
and Services Guide no longer applies to your vehicle.

MAINTENANCE BASICS
MAINTENANCE IS
ESSENTIAL
Regular maintenance is essential to
obtaining the highest level of per-
formance, safety and reliability from
your Lexus. It can also enhance your
vehicle’s resale value.
It is especially important to check
your vehicle’s engine oil once a
month and to regularly replace the
engine oil and oil filter. Failure to do
so can cause oil starvation and/or oil
gelling, which can result in severe
damage to your vehicle and require
costly repairs that are not covered by
the New Vehicle Limited Warranty.
Lexus recommends having mainte-
nance for your vehicle performed by
an authorized Lexus dealership. To
locate your nearest authorized Lexus
dealership, contact Lexus Customer
Satisfaction at [phone] or
visit www.lexus.com.
DETERMINING YOUR
MAINTENANCE
INTERVAL: MONTHS
VS. MILEAGE
Lexus recommends obtaining
maintenance for your vehicle every
six months or 5,000 miles, whichever
comes first.
For example:
•If at six months you have driven
less than 5,000 miles, you
should obtain maintenance at
six months; don’t wait until
5,000 miles.
•If you drive 5,000 miles in less
than six months, you should
obtain maintenance at 5,000
miles; don’t wait until six months.
Be sure to keep an eye on your mile-
age so that you obtain maintenance
when recommended. If you are a low-
mileage driver, mark your calendar
to remind yourself to obtain mainte-
nance every six months.
Introduction2
121341_01-05_RX350-450 1/19/10 11:56 PM Page 2

In addition to standard maintenance
items, vehicles that are driven under
special operating conditions require
further maintenance service. These
special operating conditions, which
put added demands on a vehicle,
include:
•Driving off-road, on dirt roads or
on dusty roads
•Towing a trailer, using a car-top
carrier or heavy vehicle loading
•Repeated trips of less than five
miles in temperatures below
32° F or 0°C
•Extensive idling and/or low-
speed driving for long distances,
such as police, taxi or door-to-
door delivery use
Note: If you drive only occasionally
under any of the special operating
conditions noted, it is not necessary
to change the oil every six months or
5,000 miles or to perform the addi-
tional services listed in the charts. This
added maintenance is required only if
you drive primarily under any of the
special operating conditions.
Introduction
SPECIAL OPERATING CONDITIONS
3
If you drive primarily under any
of the conditions noted above,
you should replace the engine
oil and oil filter every six months
or 5,000 miles. Some of these
special operating conditions
require other maintenance items;
these items are indicated in each
maintenance chart.

is performed once at no charge, pro-
vided you obtain the service at the
