You are responsible for performance of
the required maintenance indicated in the

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.

should contact the Toyota Customer

MAINTENANCE
You are responsible for performance of
the required maintenance indicated in the
Owner’s Manual and 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.

WARRANTY

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.

OBTAINING
WARRANTY SERVICE
The tires that come as original equipment
on your vehicle are warranted by their
manufacturer and not Toyota. A separate
warranty statement for the tires is in your
glove box.
To obtain service for a tire defect, take
the tire to an authorized dealer of the tire
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.
For additional warranty information
or service assistance, contact the tire
manufacturer directly.

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE


GENERAL INFORMATION
You are responsible for ensuring that
your Toyota is operated and maintained
according to the instructions in the
Owner’s Manual and 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 failure caused by
lack of proper maintenance is 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.

WARRANTY
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE


REPLACEMENT PARTS
Warranty coverage is not dependent
upon the use of any particular brand
of replacement parts. However, Toyota
recommends using only Genuine Toyota
Parts when you need to replace a part
on your vehicle. Like all Toyota products,
Genuine Toyota Parts are built to the
highest standards of quality, durability
and performance. They are also designed
to fit your vehicle’s exact specifications.
Your Toyota dealership maintains an
extensive inventory of Genuine Toyota
Parts to meet your vehicle service needs.
And because it is linked electronically to
Toyota’s Parts Distribution Centers, the
dealership has quick access to any parts
it may not have in stock.


Genuine Toyota Parts are covered by their
own warranty (see your dealer for details)
or the remainder of any applicable New
Vehicle Limited Warranty, whichever is
longer. Non-Genuine Toyota Parts, or
any damage or failures resulting from
their use, are not covered by any
Toyota warranty.
