DISPUTE RESOLUTION

Emission Defect Warranty
Toyota warrants that your vehicle:
•Was designed, built and equipped to conform at the time of sale with
applicable federal emissions standards.
•Is free from defects in materials and workmanship that may cause the
vehicle to fail to meet these standards.
Federal regulations require that this warranty be in effect for two years
or 24,000 miles from the vehicle’s in-service date, whichever occurs
first. However, under the terms of the Basic Warranty, Toyota provides
coverage of three years or 36,000 miles, whichever occurs first. Speci-
fic components may have longer coverage under the terms of the
Powertrain Warranty. Additionally, components marked “8/80” in the
parts list on pages 15–16 have coverage of eight years or80,000 miles,
whichever occurs first.
Emission Performance Warranty
Some states and localities have established vehicle inspection and main-
tenance (I/M) programs to encourage proper vehicle maintenance. If an
EPA-approved I/M program is in force in your area, you are eligible for
Emission Performance Warranty coverage.
Under the terms of the Emission Performance Warranty and federal
regulations, Toyota will make all necessary repairs if both of the
following occur:
•Your vehicle fails to meet applicable emissions standards as
determined by an EPA-approved emissions test.
•This failure results or will result in some penalty to you— such
as a fine or denial of the right to use your vehicle
— under local,
state or federal law.
This warranty is in effect for two years or 24,000 miles from the vehicle’s
in-service date, whichever occurs first. Additionally, components marked
“8/80” in the parts list on pages 15–16 have coverage of eight years or
