2012 TOYOTA xD maintenance

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.
Scion is a marque of Toyota Motor
Sales, U.S.A., Inc.

WHAT IS COVERED AND
HOW LONG

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.

encourage proper vehicle maintenance.

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:

some penalty to you — such as a
fine or denial of the right to use your
vehicle — under local, state or
federal law.

performed by you or by any
