pursue rights and remedies not created
by the Act, you are not required to use
the Dispute Settlement Program
(CDSP). You may also be required to
use the Dispute Settlement Program or

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 rst. However,
under the terms of the Basic Warranty,
Toyota provides coverage of three years or
36,000 miles, whichever occurs rst.
Speci c 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 rst.
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 rst. Additionally,
components marked “8/80” in the parts
list on pages 18-19 have coverage of
eight years or 80,000 miles, whichever
occurs rst.

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.
8/80 = Covered for eight years or 80,000 miles, whichever occurs first.

WARRANTY
REPLACEMENT PARTS
To ensure optimum performance and
maintain the quality built into your
vehicle’s emission control systems,
Toyota recommends the use of Toyota
Genuine 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 parts that are not Toyota Genuine
Parts for maintenance and repairs.
However, use of replacement parts
that are not equivalent in quality to
Toyota Genuine 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 Toyota Genuine
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
Toyota Genuine Parts.
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 quali es 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.”
