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.

FEDERAL EMISSION CONTROL WARRANTY
* Warranted until first required maintenance under terms of the California Emission Control Warranty.
