Who Is the Warrantor
The warrantor for these limited warranties is Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A.,
Inc. (“Toyota”), 19001 South Western Avenue, Torrance, California
90509-2991, a California corporation.
Which Vehicles Are Covered
These warranties apply to all 2008 model-year Camry Hybrid vehicles
registered and normally operated in the United States, U.S. territories

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 remanufac-
tured parts. The decision whether a part should be repaired or replaced
will be made by the servicing Toyota dealership and/or Toyota. Parts
scheduled to be replaced as required maintenance are warranted until
their first replacement only.
