elcome to Scion. You’ve joined a swank and select
group of car buyers: People who want a vehicle that
sets them apart from the crowd. We created the car,
but you made it your own — reflecting your life and your own
sense of style.
Of course, quality and reliability are just as important as a
stylish ride. After all, if the ride doesn’t go, what’s the point?
Which is the point of Scion’s excellent warranty coverage. We
stand behind the quality of our vehicles. This booklet tells you
just how much.
Your satisfaction is really important to us, so occasionally we
may create a special policy adjustment to pay for certain repairs
that are no longer covered by warranty. When we do this, we
mail details to the owners we have on record. That’s why it’s
important to send in the card at the back of this booklet if you
move or if you bought your Scion from a previous owner. Just
tear out the card and drop it in the mail; you don’t even have to
put a stamp on it.We want you to be confident that your ride will keep you on the
road — and that Scion will keep you covered when you need it.
We think you’ll feel pretty good about that after taking a look at
this booklet. Again, welcome to Scion!
This booklet describes the terms of Scion warranty coverage
as well as general owner responsibilities. Another booklet
found in your glove box, the
Scheduled Maintenance Guide,
describes your vehicle’s maintenance requirements. Be
sure to look that one over pretty carefully, since proper
maintenance is required to ensure that warranty coverage
remains intact.
All the info in this booklet is the latest available at the time of
publication and, with the exception of the emission control war-
ranties, is subject to change without notice.
Scion is a marque of Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc.

Who Is the Warrantor
Scion is the warrantor for these limited warranties. Scion is
a marque of Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc., 19001 South
Western Avenue, Torrance, California 90509-2991, a California
corporation.
Which Vehicles Are Covered
These warranties apply to all 2005 model-year vehicles
registered and normally operated in the United States, U.S.
territories and Canada. Warranty coverage is automatically
transferred at no cost to subsequent vehicle owners.
Multiple Warranty Conditions
This booklet contains warranty terms and conditions that may
vary depending on the part covered. A warranty for specific
parts or systems, such as the Powertrain Warranty or Emission
Performance Warranty, is governed by the coverage set forth in
that warranty as well as the General Warranty Provisions.
When Warranty Begins
The warranty period begins on the vehicle’s in-service date,
which is the first date the vehicle is either delivered to an
ultimate purchaser, leased, or used as a company car or
demonstrator.
Repairs Made at No Charge
Repairs and adjustments covered by these warranties are
made at no charge for parts and labor.
Parts Replacement
Any needed parts replacement will be made using new or
remanufactured parts. The decision whether a part should be
repaired or replaced will be made by the Authorized Servicing
Dealership and/or Scion. Parts scheduled to be replaced as
required maintenance are warranted until their first replace-
ment only.

WHAT IS NOT COVERED
Your Warranties in Detail11
New Vehicle Limited Warranty ‹‹
Emission Defect Warranty
Scion 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, Scion provides coverage of three years or 36,000
miles, whichever occurs first. Specific 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 or 80,000 miles,
whichever occurs first.
Emission Performance Warranty
Some states and localities have established vehicle inspection
and maintenance (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, Scion 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 80,000 miles, whichever occurs
first.

You are responsible for performance of the required mainte-
nance indicated in the
Owner’s Manualand the Scheduled
Maintenance Guide
. Scion will not deny a warranty claim solely
because you do not have records to show that you maintained
your vehicle. However, any failure or noncompliance caused by
lack of maintenance is not covered by this warranty.
When maintenance and repairs are paid for by you, these ser-
vices may be performed by you or by any automotive service
provider you choose. Scion will not deny a warranty claim
solely because you used a service provider other than an
Authorized Servicing Dealership for maintenance and
repairs. However, any failure or noncompliance caused by
improper maintenance or repairs is not covered by this
warranty.To ensure optimum performance and maintain the quality built
into your vehicle’s emission control systems, Scion recommends
the use of Scion Authorized Parts when servicing or repairing
the systems.
Warranty coverage is not dependent upon the use of any
particular brand of replacement parts, and you may elect to
use non–Scion Authorized Parts for maintenance and repairs.
However, use of replacement parts that are not equivalent in
quality to Scion Authorized Parts may impair the effective-
ness of the emission control systems.
If you use replacement parts that have maintenance or replace-
ment schedules different from those of Scion Authorized Parts,
you must follow the maintenance and replacement schedules
for the parts you are using. In addition, you should ensure that
such parts are warranted by their manufacturers to be equiva-
lent to Scion Authorized Parts.

Federal Emission Control Warranty ‹‹
If your vehicle fails an EPA-approved emissions test, you may
make a claim under the Emission Performance Warranty. To do
so, take your vehicle to an Authorized Servicing Dealership and
present a copy of the emissions test report. Also, take your
maintenance records in case they are needed.
If your claim qualifies for coverage, the dealership will repair
your vehicle within 30 days (unless a shorter period is required
by law). If your claim is denied, Scion will notify you in writing
of the reason within the same period. If we fail to do so, we will
repair your vehicle free of charge. The only exceptions allowed
are when you request or agree to a delay, or when a delay is
caused by factors beyond the control of Scion or the dealership.
For information on how to obtain service under the Emission
Defect Warranty, see page 28, “Obtaining Warranty Service.”If you have questions or concerns about your vehicle’s federal
emission warranty coverage, please follow the steps described
under “If You Need Assistance” on pages 4–5. In the case of the
Emission Performance Warranty, you may also request informa-
tion from or report complaints to:
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency

Attn: Warranty Complaints
401 M Street SW

Vehicles equipped with a California Certified Emission
Control System that are registered and operated in
California or any state that adopts California emission
warranty provisions are also covered by the California
Emission Control Warranty (see page 20). Currently, Maine,
Massachusetts and Vermont are the only other states to
which the California Emission Control Warranty applies.
