t Toyota, our top priority is always our customers. We know
your Toyota is an important part of your life and something you
depend on every day. That’s why we’re dedicated to building
products of the highest quality and reliability.
Our excellent warranty coverage is evidence that we stand behind the
quality of our vehicles. We’re confident — as you should be — that
your Toyota will provide you with many years of enjoyable driving.
To further demonstrate our commitment to our customers’ satisfaction,
occasionally we may establish a special policy adjustment to pay for
specific repairs that are no longer covered by warranty. When we estab-
lish such a policy adjustment, we mail details to all applicable owners
we have on record. That’s why it’s important to send in the card at the
back of this booklet if you change your address or if you’ve purchased
this vehicle from a previous owner.
To provide you with added protection against unexpected service costs,
we offer Toyota Extra Care vehicle service agreements and Toyota Auto
Care pre-paid maintenance programs. Both offer plans to meet a wide variety of needs. Your dealership can help you select the plan that’s
best for you.
Our goal is for every Toyota customer to enjoy outstanding quality,
dependability and peace of mind throughout their ownership experi-
ence. We want you to be a satisfied member of the Toyota family for
many miles to come.
This booklet describes the terms of Toyota warranty coverage
as well as general owner responsibilities. A separate publication
found in your glove box, the
Scheduled Maintenance Guide,
describes your vehicle’s maintenance requirements. Be sure to
review this publication carefully, since proper maintenance is
required to ensure that warranty coverage remains intact.
All information in this booklet is the latest available at the time of pub-
lication and, with the exception of the emission control warranties, is
subject to change without notice.

e realize that your confidence in the quality and reliability
of our products was a key factor in your decision to buy a
Toyota. We also know how disruptive the loss of transporta-
tion can be to your daily routine. That’s why we’re pleased to offer you
the benefits of our Transportation Assistance Policy.
Under this policy, you are eligible for transportation assistance if your
Toyota must be kept overnight for warranty-covered repairs. The policy
applies when your vehicle must be kept overnight for any of the follow-
ing reasons:
•The warranty repairs will take longer than one day to complete.
•The warrantable condition requires extensive diagnosis.
•The parts needed for the warranty repairs are not readily available
and your vehicle is inoperative or unsafe to drive.
The policy does not apply when warranty repairs can be completed
in one day but the vehicle must be kept overnight due to dealer or
owner scheduling conflicts. The Transportation Assistance Policy applies for the duration of the
New Vehicle Limited Warranty. The policy applies to all 2009 model-
year Toyotas sold and serviced by authorized Toyota dealerships in
the mainland United States and Alaska.
For further details, please consult your Toyota dealer.

oth Toyota and your Toyota dealer are dedicated to serving your
automotive needs. Your complete satisfaction is our first priority.
Should you have a problem or concern — either during or after
the warranty period — please take the following steps to ensure the
quickest possible response:
Step 1
Discuss the situation with a dealership manager, such as the service
manager or customer relations manager. In most cases, a satisfactory
solution can be reached at this step.
Step 2
If the dealership does not address your concern to your satisfaction,
call the Toyota Customer Experience Center at (800) 331-4331. If you
are hearing- or speech-impaired, call (800) 443-4999 (TDD). Please have the following information ready when you call:
•Your Toyota’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 Toyota dealership
A Toyota customer relations representative will assist you in
working with the dealership to find a satisfactory solution.
Step 3
If your concern has still not been resolved to your satisfaction, Toyota
offers additional assistance through the Dispute Settlement Program,
a dispute resolution program administered by the National Center for
Dispute Settlement. The purpose of the Dispute Settlement Program
is to resolve disputes through arbitration — a process by which two
parties authorize an independent third party to hear and resolve a dis-
pute. The program is informal and free of charge. To request that your

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 2009 model-year Toyota vehicles (exclud-
ing hybrid models) distributed by Toyota that are originally sold by an
authorized dealer in the United States and normally operated or touring
in the United States, U.S. territories or 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 sys-
tems, 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.

WHAT IS COVERED AND HOW LONG
Emission Defect Warranty
Toyota 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, Toyota provides
coverage of three years or 36,000 miles, whichever occurs first. Speci-
fic 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 eligi-
ble for Emission Performance Warranty coverage.
Under the terms of the Emission Performance Warranty and federal
regulations, Toyota 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 vehi-
cle’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.
