17881.Guts.qxd:Scion Warranty_text 2/15/08 7:43 PM Page 11

Emission Defect Warranty
Scion warrants that your vehicle:
›Was designed, built and equipped to
conform at the time of sale with applica -
ble 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 war-
ranty 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 pro-
vides coverage of three years or 36,000
miles, whichever occurs first. Specific
com ponents may have longer coverage
under the terms of the Powertrain
Warranty. Additionally, components
marked “8/80” in the parts list on pages
14–15 have coverage of eight years or
80,000 miles, whichever occurs first. 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 14–15 have coverage of eight
years or 80,000 miles, whichever occurs
first.
WHAT IS COVERED AND
HOW LONG
FEDERAL EMISSION CONTROL WARRANTY
Emission Performance Warranty
Some states and localities have estab-
lished vehicle inspection and maintenance
(I/M) programs to encourage proper vehi-
cle 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 Perfor
-
mance 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.

is not covered by this warranty.

formed by you or by any automotive
service provider you choose. Scion will

proper maintenance or repairs is not
covered by this warranty.

17881.Guts.qxd:Scion Warranty_text 2/15/08 7:43 PM Page 15

To ensure optimum performance and
maintain the quality built into your vehicle’s
emission control systems, Scion recom-
mends 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 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.
