YOUR WARRANTY RIGHTS
AND OBLIGATIONS
The California Air Resources Board (CARB)
and Toyota are pleased to explain the
emission control system warranty for your
2015 vehicle. In California, new motor
vehicles must be designed, built and
equipped to meet the state’s stringent
anti-smog standards. CARB regulations
require that Toyota must warrant the
emission control system on your vehicle
for the time periods indicated on the next
page, provided there has been no abuse,
neglect or improper maintenance of your
vehicle.
Your emission control system may include
parts such as the fuel injection system,
ignition system, catalytic converter and
engine computer. Also included may be
hoses, belts, connectors and other
emissions-related assemblies.
Where a warrantable condition exists,
Toyota will repair your vehicle at no cost
to you, including diagnosis, parts and
labor.

OWNER’S WARRANTY
RESPONSIBILITIES
You are responsible for performance of
the required maintenance indicated in the

solely for the lack of receipts or your
failure to ensure the performance of all
scheduled maintenance.
You are responsible for presenting your
vehicle to a Toyota dealership as soon as
a problem exists. The warranty repairs
should be completed in a reasonable
amount of time, not to exceed 30 days.
You should also be aware that Toyota may
deny you warranty coverage if your vehicle
or a part has failed due to abuse, neglect,
improper maintenance or unapproved
modifications.
If you have any questions regarding your
warranty rights and responsibilities, you
should contact the Toyota Customer
Experience Center at (800) 331-4331 or

MAINTENANCE
You are responsible for performance of
the required maintenance indicated in the
Owner’s Manualand this booklet. Toyota
will not deny a warranty claim solely
because you do not have records to show
that you maintained your vehicle. However,
any failure or noncompliance caused by
lack of maintenance is not covered by this
warranty.
When maintenance and repairs are paid
for by you, these services may be
performed by you or by any automotive
service provider you choose. Toyota will
not deny a warranty claim solely
because you used a service provider
other than a Toyota dealership for
maintenance and repairs. However, any
failure or noncompliance caused by
improper maintenance or repairs is not
covered by this warranty.
REPLACEMENT PARTS
To ensure optimum performance and
maintain the quality built into your
vehicle’s emission control systems, Toyota
recommends the use of Genuine Toyota
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-Genuine Toyota Parts for
maintenance and repairs. However, use
of replacement parts that are not
equivalent in quality to Genuine Toyota
Parts may impair the effectiveness of the
emission control systems.
If you use replacement parts that have
maintenance or replacement schedules
different from those of Genuine Toyota
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
Genuine Toyota Parts.

IF YOUR VEHICLE FAILS A
SMOG-CHECK TEST
If your vehicle fails a smog-check test,
you may make a claim under the Emission
Performance Warranty. To do so, take your
vehicle to an authorized Toyota dealership
and present a copy of the smog-check 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,
Toyota 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 Toyota or the dealership.
For information on how to obtain service
under the Emission Defect Warranty, see
page 32, “Obtaining Warranty Service.”
REPAIR DELAYS
If a Toyota dealership is unable to
complete repairs on your vehicle within
30 days, you may have the repairs made
under Toyota’s provisions for emergency
warranty repairs. See page 32 for details.

The tires that come as original equipment
on your vehicle are warranted by their

To obtain service for a tire defect, take the

manufacturer. (Refer to your local phone
directory for dealer locations.) Your Toyota
dealer may also be able to assist you in
obtaining warranty service from the
manufacturer.

GENERAL INFORMATION
You are responsible for ensuring that your
Toyota is operated and maintained
according to the instructions in the
Owner’s Manualand this booklet.
You should keep detailed records of
vehicle maintenance, since under some
circumstances they may be required for
warranty coverage. These records should
include date of service, mileage at time of
service and a description of service
performed and/or parts installed. For your
convenience, a maintenance log is
included in this booklet. If you sell your
vehicle, you should give your maintenance
records to the new owner.
Toyota will not deny a warranty claim
solely because you do not have records to
show that you maintained your vehicle.
However, damage or failures caused by
lack of proper maintenance are not
covered under warranty.
WHERE TO GO FOR
MAINTENANCE
You may have maintenance performed on
your vehicle by any qualified person or
facility. However, Toyota recommends
having maintenance performed by an
authorized Toyota dealership.
Toyota dealership technicians are specially
trained to maintain and repair Toyota
vehicles. They stay current on the latest
service information through Toyota
technical bulletins, service publications
and training courses. Many are also
certified through the Toyota Certification
Program, which involves a series of
rigorous written examinations. Feel free to
ask any Toyota dealership to show you
their technicians’ credentials.
You can be confident you’re getting the
best possible service for your vehicle
when you take it to a Toyota dealership.
