⚠️ Lexus overview
Lexus is Toyota’s premium brand, sold in the UK with petrol and hybrid powertrains on most lines. UK drivers occasionally misfuel at forecourts when switching between family cars. Lexus warranty excludes damage from incorrect fuel; recovery must follow Lexus Electronic Technical Manual fuel extraction and system flush sequences.

Fuel system notes
- Many UK Lexus models use capless or restricted filler necks — use approved extraction, not improvised siphons.
- Hybrids retain a petrol tank; high-voltage safety procedures apply before interior trim removal.
- TNGA-era models often allow fuel-module access under the rear seat.

Frequently asked questions
Will Lexus cover misfuel damage under warranty?
No. Lexus classifies incorrect fuel as customer misuse. Repairs are customer-funded; use a GBIFDA-certified fuel extraction and documented flush before restart.
I put petrol in my Lexus diesel — is it the same as Toyota?
Procedures mirror Toyota Group diesel recovery: do not drive, extract fuel from the tank, renew filters, and inspect the high-pressure fuel system before restart.
