*For the purposes of this policy, an Authorized Servicing Dealership is a Scion
dealership or a Toyota dealership.
oth Scion and your dealership want to make your Scion
ownership experience easy and convenient. If you have
a problem or concern — either during or after the war-
ranty period — please take the following steps to ensure a quick
response:
Step 1
Talk to a dealership manager, such as the service manager or
customer relations manager. In most cases, you can reach a
satisfactory solution at this step.
Step 2
If you’re not happy with the solution provided by the dealer-
ship, call Scion Customer Experience at (866) 70-SCION, or
(866) 707-2466. If you are hearing- or speech-impaired, call
800) 443-4999 (TDD).To help everything move quickly, have the following information
at hand when you call:
›Your Scion’s vehicle identification number (located on the
driver’s side corner of the dashboard, under the window)
›Current mileage on your vehicle
›Name of your Scion dealership
A Scion customer relations representative will help you work
with the dealership to find a satisfactory solution.
Step 3
If you’re still not satisfied with how things were resolved, Scion
offers additional assistance through the Dispute Settlement
Program, a dispute resolution program administered by the
National Center for Dispute Settlement. The purpose of this
program is to resolve disputes through arbitration — a process
by which two parties authorize an independent third party to
hear and resolve a dispute. The program is informal and free
of charge.

Multiple Warranty Conditions

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.

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.

WHAT IS COVERED AND HOW LONG
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.
