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 18–19
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 18–19
have coverage of eight years or
80,000 miles, whichever occurs first.

MAINTENANCE
You are responsible for performance of
the required maintenance indicated in
the
Owner’s Manualand this booklet.
Scion 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. Scion will not deny a warranty
claim solely because you used a
service provider other than an
Authorized Servicing Dealership for
maintenance and repairs.However,
any failure or noncompliance caused by
improper maintenance or repairs is not
covered by this warranty.
* Warranted until first required maintenance under terms of the California Emission Control
Warranty.

REPLACEMENT PARTS
To ensure optimum performance and
maintain the quality built into your
vehicle’s emission control systems,
Scion recommends the use of Scion
Authorized 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–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.
If you use replacement parts that have
maintenance or replacement schedules
different from those of Scion
Authorized 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
Scion Authorized Parts.
IF YOUR VEHICLE FAILS
AN EMISSIONS TEST
If your vehicle fails an EPA-approved
emissions test, you may make a claim
under the Emission Performance
Warranty. To do so, take your vehicle to
an Authorized Servicing Dealership and
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
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 Scion or the dealership.

service under the Emission Defect
Warranty, see page 31, “Obtaining
