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.

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

Which Vehicles Are Covered
These warranties apply to all 2005 model-year vehicles

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.

General Warranty Provisions ‹‹
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

lent to Scion Authorized Parts.

PARTS LIST: LONG-TERM EMISSION
DEFECT WARRANTYMAINTENANCE
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.If your vehicle fails a smog-check 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 smog-check test report. Also, take your mainte-
nance 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.

Defect Warranty, see page 28, “Obtaining Warranty Service.”

You are responsible for ensuring that your Scion is operated and
maintained according to the instructions in the
Owner’s Manual
and the Scheduled Maintenance Guide.
You should keep detailed records of vehicle maintenance, since
under some circumstances they may be required for warranty
coverage. These records should include date of service, mileage
at time of service and a description of service performed and/or
parts installed. For your convenience, a maintenance log is
included in the
Scheduled Maintenance Guide. If you sell your
vehicle, you should give your maintenance records to the new
owner.
Scion will not deny a warranty claim solely because you do not
have records to show that you maintained your vehicle. How-
ever, damage or failures caused by improper maintenance or
lack of maintenance are not covered under warranty.You may have maintenance performed on your vehicle by any
qualified person or facility. However, Scion recommends having
maintenance performed by an Authorized Servicing Dealership.
Technicians at Authorized Servicing Dealerships are specially
trained to maintain and repair Scion vehicles. They stay current
on the latest service information through Scion technical bul-
letins, service publications and training courses. Many are also
factory-certified. That means they have passed rigorous exams
through both Scion and the National Institute for Automotive
Service Excellence.
You can be confident you’re getting the best possible service for
your vehicle when you take it to an Authorized Servicing Dealer-
ship. Plus, an Authorized Servicing Dealership will always use
Scion Authorized Parts designed specifically for your vehicle.
