The reputation for quality and reliability was likely a key
reason behind your decision to buy a Toyota. That overall
quality is present in each of the components of your car or
truck, including the battery. When it’s time for a replacement,
your Toyota dealer is the only place to find a battery with the
power to start and operate your vehicle like new.
To maintain the original performance designed into your Toyota,
a replacement battery must meet Toyota’s specifications for
Cold Cranking Amps (CCA) and Reserve Capacity (RC).
RC, a specification often not met by aftermarket brands, sup-
plies the power you need during high- demand conditions such
as driving in heavy traffic. RC is also what gives you the power
to operate electronic accessories with the engine off. By choos-
ing a TrueStart,™ you can be confident your battery will meet
your needs, every day.
Warranty coverage is another important consideration when
selecting a replacement battery. TrueStart™ batteries feature a
free replacement period of 18 months (regardless of mileage)
or the remainder of the Toyota New Vehicle Limited Warranty,whichever is longer. Following the free replacement period, war-
ranty coverage is prorated based on the battery’s time in use. See
your Toyota dealer for more details.
Don’ t entrust your Toyota’s performance to anything less than
the best: Genuine Toyota TrueStart™ Batteries.
