TrueStart Batteries
TOYOTA MAINTENANCE & REPAIR SUPPORT9
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.
WARNING: Battery posts, terminals and related acces-
sories contain lead and lead compounds, chemicals known
to the State of California to cause cancer and reproductive
harm.
Wash hands after handling.

Collision Repair Parts
10
Insist on Genuine Toyota Quality
If you’re involved in a collision, you want your vehicle to be
returned to its pre- accident condition when repaired. To main-
tain your Toyota’s value, it’s important to make sure it is
repaired with Genuine Toyota Parts. Some repair shops and
insurance companies may suggest using imitation or used
salvage parts to save money. However, these parts do not meet
Toyota’s high standards for quality, fit and corrosion resistance.
In addition, imitation and used salvage parts are not covered by
any Toyota warranty (see box at right).
To maintain the appearance, performance and safety of your
Toyota, make sure only Genuine Toyota Parts are used for
collision repairs. Protect your investment — insist on Genuine
Toyota quality.Toyota warranty coverage remains intact when vehicle
repairs are completed with Genuine Toyota Parts. Toyota
warranties do not cover imitation or used salvage parts or
any damage or failures caused by the use of such parts.
In Case of Accident, Be an Informed Owner
Toyota believes customers have the right to choose the types of
parts used in the repair of their vehicles. That’s why Toyota sup-
ports full disclosure by repair shops and insurance companies
regarding parts used for collision repair. The following informa-
tion is provided to help you understand the differences in the
types of parts that could be used in the repair of your vehicle.
General Information
“Collision repair parts” or “replacement crash parts” are the parts
typically replaced during the repair of a vehicle that has been
damaged in a collision. These parts include exterior sheet metal
such as fenders, hoods, doors and related components; and plas-
tic components such as bumper covers and lamp assemblies.

Warranty Coverage
Warranties for collision repair parts are provided by the manu-
facturer or distributor of the parts. Warranty coverage varies.
Your insurance company or collision repair facility should pro-
vide you with written warranty statements for all parts used in
the repair of your vehicle.
Types of Collision Repair Parts
New Original-Equipment Manufacturer (OEM)
Parts that are made by the vehicle manufacturer or one of its
licensees and distributed through its normal channels. These
parts maintain the manufacturer’s vehicle warranty.
Aftermarket or Imitation
Parts that are made by companies other than the vehicle manu-
facturer or its licensees.
Recycled or Used Salvage
Used parts and assemblies that have been removed from anoth-
er vehicle. There are no systems in place to regulate the quality
or safety of these parts.
Remanufactured
Parts that have been returned to like- new condition through
repair, refurbishing or rebuilding.
Due to the critical nature of Supplemental Restraint
Systems (also known as air bags), Toyota does not support
the use of imitation or used parts for their repair. Only new
Genuine Toyota Parts should be used to repair/replace
Supplemental Restraint Systems.
