CALIFORNIA EMISSION CONTROL WARRANTY
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.

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.

technical bulletins, service publications
and training courses. Many are also

Program, which involves a series of
rigorous written examinations. Feel free

upon the use of any particular brand

Genuine Toyota Parts are built to the
highest standards of quality, durability

or the remainder of any applicable New

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
BY GEOGRAPHIC REGION
In the United States, U.S.
Territories, Canada and Mexico
To obtain warranty service in the United
States, U.S. territories, Canada or Mexico,
take your vehicle to an authorized Toyota
dealership. If your vehicle cannot be
driven, contact your nearest Toyota
dealership for towing assistance. You do
not have to pay for towing to the nearest
Toyota dealership if your vehicle is inoperable
due to failure of a warranted part.
Outside the United States, U.S.
Territories, Canada and Mexico
If you are using your vehicle outside the
United States, U.S. territories, Canada and
Mexico and need warranty service, contact
a local Toyota dealership. Please note,
however, that your vehicle may not be
repaired free of charge because the local
Toyota distributor may have no obligation
to provide warranty service for your
vehicle, and/or your vehicle may not
comply with local regulatory or
environmental requirements.
EMERGENCY REPAIRS
If your vehicle is inoperable or unsafe to
drive and there is no Toyota dealership
reasonably available to make repairs, you
may perform the repairs yourself or have
them performed by another automotive
service provider. Toyota will reimburse you
for any of the repairs that are covered by
warranty. To receive reimbursement,
present to an authorized Toyota dealership
your paid repair invoices and any parts
that were removed from the vehicle. You
will be reimbursed for warranted parts at
the manufacturer’s suggested retail price
and warranted labor at a geographically
appropriate hourly rate multiplied by
Toyota’s recommended time allowance for
the repair.
If your vehicle requires emergency repair,
Toyota assumes no liability for subsequent
failures caused by improper repairs or the
use of non-Genuine Toyota Parts unless
you have the vehicle properly repaired
in a timely manner. To ensure that
warranty coverage remains intact, have
your vehicle inspected by an authorized
Toyota dealership as soon as possible
after an emergency repair.

Limited Warranty.

the recommendations in this booklet is
required to ensure that your warranty
coverage remains intact. You should keep
detailed records of vehicle maintenance,
including date of service, mileage at time
