2012 TOYOTA xD maintenance schedule

W
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.

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 equivalent in quality to
Scion Authorized Parts may impair
the effectiveness of the emission
control systems.

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
