tridges. When purchased at and installed by a Toyota dealership, these Genuine
Toyota Parts are guaranteed to the original purchaser for the life of the vehicle.
This includes coverage for parts and labor.

Toyota Parts are manufactured to your vehicle’s exact specifications. So don’t
compromise: When replacement time comes, count on your Toyota dealer for
quality, performance and the peace of mind that comes with a factory backed

Genuine Toyota Parts and Accessories
Genuine Toyota Parts
To safeguard the quality, reliability and value of your vehicle, Toyota recommends
using only Genuine Toyota Parts for maintenance and repairs. Like all Toyota
products, Genuine Toyota Parts are built to the highest standards of quality and
performance. They are also designed to fit your vehicle’s exact specifications.
Your Toyota dealership maintains
an extensive inventory of Genuine
Toyota Parts to meet your vehicle
service needs. And because it
is linked electronically to Toyota’s
Parts Distribution Centers, the
dealership has quick access to any
parts it may not have in stock.
When installed by a Toyota dealership, Genuine Toyota Parts (with the exception
of batteries) are warranted for 12 months from date of installation, regardless
of mileage, or the remainder of any applicable New Vehicle Limited Warranty,
whichever provides greater coverage. Selected Toyota replacement parts are covered
by a lifetime warranty (see page 25). Non Genuine Toyota Parts — and any damage
or failures resulting from their use — are not covered by any Toyota warranty.
Genuine Toyota Remanufactured Parts
Toyota also offers the highest level of quality, fit and performance in selected
remanufactured parts. These parts enable you to economically maintain and
repair your vehicle with Genuine Toyota quality. They also feature the same
warranty coverage as new Genuine Toyota Parts. Available parts range from
alternators to water pumps; ask your Toyota dealership for a complete list
of remanufactured product offerings.
For all your maintenance and repair needs, insist on the quality and peace
of mind you only get with Genuine Toyota Parts.

Genuine Toyota Parts and Accessories
Genuine Toyota Accessories
When you want to personalize your Toyota vehicle, be sure to do it without
sacrificing Toyota quality and performance. How? By choosing Genuine Toyota
Accessories.
Only Genuine Toyota Accessories are designed and manufactured specifically for
Toyota vehicles. In addition, they undergo rigorous testing to ensure first rate
quality, precise fit and long term durability. Aftermarket accessories don’t always
meet these same high standards.
The quality of Genuine Toyota Accessories is also backed by the integrity of a
Toyota warranty. Coverage is for 12 months from date of purchase, regardless of
mileage. If an accessory is installed during the New Vehicle Limited Warranty
period (36 months/36,000 miles), coverage is for the remainder of that period.
See your dealer for details. And remember that Genuine Toyota Accessories can
only be purchased from an authorized Toyota dealership.

Collision Repair Parts
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 maintain 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 may 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 below).
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 supports full disclosure by repair shops
and insurance companies regarding parts used for collision repair. The following
information 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 plastic components such as bumper covers and
lamp assemblies.
