2016 TOYOTA iA Warranties & Maintenance Guides (in English)

Now that you’ve got your Scion
on the road, you want to make
sure it keeps going. That’s
where scheduled maintenance comes
in. Taking your car in for regular service
will help your ride run better and last
longer. It will keep your repair bills
down too.
This booklet makes it easy to keep your
Scion running smoothly. It lists all the
factory-recommended services and
tells you when your vehicle needs
them. Be sure to look this booklet over
carefully and keep it in your glove box.
Do what it says and your Scion should
be happy for many miles to come.
Put it In Writing
To help you keep track of your Scion’s
service history, each maintenance
chart in this booklet includes:
>Boxes to check for each service
item performed
>Space for the maintenance provider
to include a service verification
stamp
>Space to write the date and mileage
that service is performed
Documenting your service history may
make your car worth more when you’re
ready to sell. There’s a reason smart
people write things down.
In addition to scheduled
maintenance, your vehicle requires
general maintenance such as fluid
checks and visual inspections.
These procedures are explained in
the “Maintenance and Care” section
of the
Owner’s Manual.To help keep
your Scion out of trouble, be sure to
perform these procedures regularly.
Scion is a marque of Toyota Motor
Sales, U.S.A., Inc.

MAINTENANCE

IMPORTANT
MAINTENANCE
INFORMATION
It is especially important to both
routinely check your vehicle’s engine
oil level (once a month) and regularly
replace the engine oil and oil filter
(see the Maintenance Log section of
this booklet to determine how often
you should change your vehicle’s oil
and filter). Failure to do so can cause
oil starvation and or oil gelling, which
can result in severe damage to your
vehicle and require costly repairs that
are not covered by the New Vehicle
Limited Warranty.
Maintenance Records
To make sure your warranty coverage
stays intact, you need to maintain your
Scion according to the
recommendations in this booklet. You
should keep records of vehicle
maintenance, including date and
mileage at time of service and a
description of service items performed
and parts installed. The scheduled
maintenance log can help you keep
track of this information. If you sell
your car, be sure to give your
maintenance records to the new owner.
Scion will not deny a warranty claim
solely because you don’t have records
to show that you maintained your
vehicle. However, damage or failures
caused by lack of proper maintenance
are not covered under warranty.
Maintenance Providers
You can have maintenance and repair
services done by any automotive
service provider you choose, or you can
do them yourself. Scion won’t deny a
warranty claim solely because you used
a service provider other than a Scion
dealership for maintenance and
repairs. However, damage or failures
caused by improper maintenance or
repairs are not covered under warranty.
NOTE:Only Scion dealerships and
Toyota dealerships are authorized to
provide warranty service/repairs for
your Scion.
Dealer-Recommended
Maintenance
Your dealer may recommend more
frequent maintenance intervals or
more maintenance services than those
listed in the scheduled maintenance
log. These additional services are not
required to maintain your warranty
coverage. Ask your dealer to explain
any recommended maintenance not
included in the scheduled maintenance
log.
For a complete description of Scion
warranty coverages, see the
Warranty Information portion of this
booklet.
