ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Introduction

Pre-Delivery Service (PDS) is a critical step in satisfying our new car customers. Customer
feedback indicates the following areas deserve special attention when performing PDS:


Careful inspection for paint chips/scratches and body dents/dings.



Proper operation of electrical accessories (including interior light, clock, and radio reset).



Interior cleanliness.



Proper function of mechanical systems.

Customer retention and proper maintenance of vehicles are and have always been a major focus
for Lexus. To help remind customers that regular service is essential to the proper maintenance of
the vehicle, dealers are required to input their dealer information and set the service reminder on
the Navigation Screen before delivery. By doing this, customers will be reminded to return to your
dealership for service. (See Page 2 of the RC F, RC 300, and RC 350 PDS Check Sheet “Set
Dealer and Service Reminder.”)
This bulletin contains the PDS procedures that apply specifically to 2024 model year RC F,
RC 300, and RC 350 vehicles. To properly perform a complete PDS, you must complete all
procedures contained in this TSB as well as the RC F, RC 300, and RC 350 PDS Check Sheet.
In addition, if the vehicle is stored for over 30 days, be sure to follow Long-Term Vehicle
Storage Guidelines.

ALL related Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs).
NOTICE
 RC 300 and RC 350 – D/C cut fuse (30A).

there are no malfunctions.



While the vehicle is stored at the dealership, disconnect the negative (–) battery terminal to prevent
