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 created 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!This booklet describes the terms of
Scion warranty coverage as well as
general owner responsibilities. The
scheduled maintenance section
describes your vehicle’s
maintenance requirements. Be sure
to look it 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.

Sales, U.S.A., Inc.

made using new or remanufactured
parts. The decision whether a part
should be repaired or replaced will be
made by the Authorized Servicing
Dealership and/or Scion. Parts
scheduled to be replaced as required
maintenance are warranted until their
first replacement only.
Authorized Servicing
Dealerships
For the purposes of these limited
warranties, an Authorized Servicing
Dealership is a Scion dealership or a
Toyota dealership.

Accessories
Scion Authorized Parts are any Scion
brand parts manufactured by or on
behalf of Scion or Toyota Motor

Any vehicle that has ever been issued a
“salvage” title or similar title under any
state’s law; or has ever been declared a
“total loss” or equivalent by a financial

to create for it any other obligation
or liability in connection with this
vehicle. Scion shall not be liable for
incidental or consequential
damages resulting from breach of
this written warranty or any implied
warranty. Any implied warranty of
merchantability or fitness for a
particular purpose is limited to the

limitation is not allowed.

WHAT IS COVERED AND
HOW LONG
Emission Defect Warranty
Scion 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, Scion provides coverage of
three years or 36,000 miles, whichever
occurs first. Specific components may
have longer coverage under the terms
of the Powertrain Warranty.
Additionally, components marked
“8/80” in the parts list on pages 17–18
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 eligible for
Emission Performance Warranty
coverage.
Under the terms of the Emission
Performance 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.
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 17–18
have coverage of eight years or
80,000 miles, whichever occurs first.
