›› Lifetime Guarantee Replacement Parts
Scion believes in its products. That confidence is backed by outstanding
warranty coverage — including a lifetime guarantee on replacement
mufflers, exhaust pipes, shock absorbers, struts and strut cartridges.
When purchased at and installed by a Scion dealership, these Scion
Authorized Parts are guaranteed to the original purchaser for the life
of the vehicle. This includes coverage for parts
andlabor.
Compare the guarantees offered on these parts by aftermarket repair
facilities; you’ll find that many shops don’t offer the extensive coverage
Scion does. And remember that only Scion Authorized Parts are built to
fit your Scion perfectly. So don’t compromise: When replacement time
comes, count on your Scion dealership for the peace of mind that comes
with a factory-backed lifetime guarantee.
For complete details of the Scion Lifetime Guarantee, see an authorized Scion dealership.

Now that your Scion is on the street,
it’s time to get personal. That means
making your car a reflection of your
life and your style. Whether you go
mild or wild, be sure to accessorize
without sacrificing quality, perfor-
mance or safety. You can do it with
Scion Authorized Accessories.*
Scion offers dozens of accessory
products to help you make your vehi-
cle truly your own. Many are produced
in conjunction with cutting-edge suppliers such as OBX Racing Sports
and Bazooka Mobile Audio. All are designed to ensure exceptional
quality, precise fit to your Scion and performance you can count on.
Aftermarket accessories can’t always make that claim.
The quality of Scion Authorized Accessories is also backed by the integri-
ty of a Scion warranty. 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. Otherwise, coverage is for 12 months from
date of purchase, regardless of mileage. Keep in mind that installing
non-Scion Authorized Accessories may affect your vehicle’s warranty
coverage. In addition, some aftermarket equipment may not be street-
legal in all states and could affect your vehicle’s performance or safety.
Make your Scion what you
want it to be, but make it
that way with no worries.

Accessories, available exclu-
sively from and installed by

Depending on your circumstances, you should obtain maintenance for
your Scion every 5,000 miles or every 7,500 miles. Follow these guide-
lines to determine which interval to use.

cates at which mileage/time intervals each service should be performed.
