WARRANTY


Gradual Capacity Reduction
of Traction Battery
(Lithium-ion Battery)
Lithium-ion battery capacity (the ability to
hold a charge) gradually reduces with time
and use. This is a natural characteristic of
lithium-ion batteries. The extent at which
capacity is reduced changes drastically
depending on the environment (ambient
temperature, etc.) and usage conditions such
as how the vehicle is driven and how the
lithium-ion battery is charged. Reduction of
lithium-ion battery capacity is NOT covered
under warranty. In order to lessen the
possibility of capacity reduction, follow the
directions listed in the Owner’s Manual under
“Capacity Reduction of the Hybrid Battery
( Traction Battery).”
Maintenance Expense
Normal maintenance services such as:
• Engine tune-ups
• Replacement of fluids and filters
• Lubrication
• Cleaning and polishing
• Replacement of spark plugs and fuses
• Replacement of worn wiper blades, brake
pads/linings and clutch linings
Vehicles with Altered Odometer
Failure of a vehicle on which the odometer
has been altered so that actual vehicle
mileage cannot be readily determined.


Salvage or Total-Loss Vehicles
Any vehicle that has ever been issued a
“salvage” title or similar title under any
state’s law; or has ever been declared a
“total loss” or equivalent by a financial
institution or insurer, such as by payment
for a claim in lieu of repairs because the
cost of repairs exceeded the cash value of
the vehicle. This exclusion does not apply to
the emission control warranties, including
Emission Control Warranty Enhancements,
or any open Safety Recalls.
Incidental Damages
Incidental or consequential damages
associated with a vehicle failure. Such
damages include but are not limited to
inconvenience; the cost of transportation,
telephone calls and lodging; the loss of
personal or commercial property; and the
loss of pay or revenue.
Disclaimer of Extra
Expenses and Damages
The performance of necessary repairs
and adjustments is the exclusive remedy
under this warranty or any implied
warranty. Toyota does not authorize
any person to create for it any other
obligation or liability in connection with
this vehicle. Toyota shall not be liable
for incidental or consequential damages
resulting from breach of this written
warranty or any implied warranty. Any
implied warranty of merchantability or
fitness for a particular purpose is limited
to the duration of this written warranty,
except in states where this limitation
is not allowed.

WARRANTY

WHAT IS COVERED
AND HOW LONG
Emission Defect Warranty
Toyota 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,
Toyota 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, Toyota 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 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
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
Toyota 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,
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.”
