Maintenance requirements
■Repair and replacement
It is recommended that genuine Scion parts be used for repairs to ensure
performance of each system. If non-Scion parts are used in replacement or if
a repair shop other than a Scion dealer performs repairs, confirm the war-
ranty coverage.
To ensure safe and economical driv ing, day-to-day care and regular
maintenance is essential. It is the owner’s responsibility to perform
regular checks. Scion recomme nds the following maintenance:
■General maintenance
General maintenance should be performed on a daily basis.
This can be done by yourself or by a Scion dealer.
■ Scheduled maintenance
Scheduled maintenance should be performed at specified inter-
vals according to the maintenance schedule.
For details about maintenance items and schedules, refer to the
“Scheduled Maintenance Guide” or “Owner’s Manual Supplement”.
■Do-it-yourself maintenance
You can perform some maintenance procedures by yourself.
Please be aware that do-it-yourself maintenance may affect war-
ranty coverage.
The use of Scion Repair Manuals is recommended.
For details about warranty coverage, see the separate “Owner’s War-
ranty Information Booklet” or “Owner’s Manual Supplement”.

while your vehicle is under warranty, your Scion dealer will promptly take
care of it.
