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.

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 2009 model-year Camry vehicles distrib-
uted 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 trans-
ferred 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.

You are responsible for performance of the required maintenance indi-
cated in the
Owner’s Manualand the Scheduled Maintenance Guide.
Toyota 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 services
may be performed by you or by any automotive service provider you
choose. Toyota will not deny a warranty claim solely because you
used a service provider other than a Toyota dealership for mainte-
nance 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, Toyota recommends the use
of Genuine Toyota 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-Genuine
Toyota Parts for maintenance and repairs. However, use of replace-
ment parts that are not equivalent in quality to Genuine Toyota Parts
may impair the effectiveness of the emission control systems.
If you use replacement parts that have maintenance or replacement
schedules different from those of Genuine Toyota Parts, you must fol-
low 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 Genuine Toyota Parts.

IF YOUR VEHICLE FAILS AN EMISSIONS TEST IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS
If your vehicle fails an EPA-approved emissions test, you may make a
claim under the Emission Performance Warranty. To do so, take your
vehicle to an authorized Toyota 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 vehi-
cle within 30 days (unless a shorter period is required by law). If your
claim is denied, Toyota 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
Toyota or the dealership.
For information on how to obtain service under the Emission Defect
Warranty, see page 29, “Obtaining Warranty Service.” If you have questions or concerns about your federal emission warranty
coverage, please refer to “If You Need Assistance” on pages 4–5. In the
case of the Emission Performance Warranty, you may also request
information from or report complaints to:
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
Vehicle Programs & Compliance Division (6405J)
Attn: Warranty Complaints
401 M Street SW
Washington, D.C. 20460
Vehicles equipped with a California Certified Emission Control
System that are sold, registered and operated in California or any
state that adopts California emission warranty provisions are also
covered by the California Emission Control Warranty (see page 20).
Currently, Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Oregon,
Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont and Washington are the
other states to which the California Emission Control Warranty
applies. Note: Camry PZEV models sold, registered and operated in
California, Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire,
New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Rhode Island and Vermont are also
covered by the California Emission Control Warranty. For these
vehicles, all emissions components are covered for 15 years or
150,000 miles, whichever occurs first, for performance and defect.
