2008 TOYOTA xD maintenance schedule

elcome to Scion. You’ve joined
a select group of car buyers:
people who want a vehicle that
sets them apart from the crowd. We creat-
ed 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!
WE’VE GOT YOU COVERED

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 main-
tenance 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
warranties, is subject to change without
notice.

To ensure optimum performance and
maintain the quality built into your vehi-
cle’s emission control systems, Scion
recommends the use of Scion Authorized
Parts when servicing or repairing the sys-
tems.

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 equiva -
lent in quality to Scion Authorized Parts
may impair the effectiveness of the emis-
sion control systems.If you use replacement parts that have
maintenance or replacement 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 equivalent to
Scion Authorized Parts.If your vehicle fails an EPA-approved emis-
sions 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.

ing to the instructions in the

nience, a maintenance log is included in

on your vehicle by any qualified person

Automotive Service Excellence.
