INTRODUCTION
A
t Toyota, our top priority is always
our customers. We know your Toyota
is an important part of your life and
something you depend on every day. That’s
why we’re dedicated to building products of
the highest quality and reliability.
Our excellent warranty coverage is
evidence that we stand behind the quality
of our vehicles. We’re condent — as you
should be — that your Toyota will provide
you with many years of enjoyable driving.
To further demonstrate our commitment to
our customers’ satisfaction, occasionally
we may establish a special policy
adjustment to pay for specic repairs that
are no longer covered by warranty. When
we establish such a policy adjustment, we
mail details to all applicable owners we
have on record.
To provide you with added protection
against unexpected service costs, we offer
Toyota Financial Services vehicle service
agreements and Toyota Auto Care and
Toyota Care Plus prepaid maintenance
programs. Each offers plans to meet a
wide variety of needs. Your dealership can
help you select the plan that’s best for you. Our goal is for every Toyota customer to
enjoy outstanding quality, dependability

and peace of mind throughout their
ownership experience. We want you to be
a satised member of the Toyota family
for many miles to come.
This booklet describes the terms of
Toyota warranty coverage as well as
general owner responsibilities. The
scheduled maintenance section
describes your vehicle’s maintenance
requirements. Be sure to review this
information carefully, since proper
maintenance is required to ensure that
warranty coverage remains intact.
All information in this booklet is the latest
available at the time of publication and is
subject to change without notice.

IF YOU NEED ASSISTANCE
INTRODUCTION
B
oth Toyota and your Toyota dealer
are dedicated to serving your
automotive needs. Your complete
satisfaction is our rst priority. Should
you have a problem or concern — either
during or after the warranty period —
please take the following steps to ensure
the quickest possible response:
Step 1
Discuss the situation with a dealership
manager, such as the service manager
or customer relations manager. In most
cases, a satisfactory solution can be
reached at this step.
Step 2
If the dealership does not address your
concern to your satisfaction, call the
Toyota Customer Experience Center
at (800) 331-4331.
Please have the following information
ready when you call:
• Your Toyota’s vehicle identification number
(located on the driver’s side corner of the
dashboard, under the windshield)
• Current mileage on your vehicle
• Name of your Toyota dealership
A Toyota customer relations representative
will assist you in working with the dealership
to nd a satisfactory solution.
Step 3
If your concern has still not been resolved
to your satisfaction, Toyota offers
additional assistance through the Dispute
Settlement Program, a dispute resolution
program administered by the National
Center for Dispute Settlement. The
purpose of the Dispute Settlement
Program is to resolve disputes through
arbitration — a process by which two
parties authorize an independent third
party to hear and resolve a dispute. The
program is informal and free of charge.
To request that your case be reviewed
through the program, complete the
customer claim form in the
Owner’s
Warranty Rights Notification
booklet
(found in your glove box) and mail it to:
National Center for Dispute Settlement
P.O. Box 5152 8 4
Dallas, TX 75251-5284
To initiate arbitration, you must complete
an NCDS customer claim form and mail it
to NCDS. To request a form, call NCDS
at (800) 777-8119 or obtain a copy at
www.ncdsusa.org. When you call,
please have your vehicle identication
number, the current mileage on your
Toyota and the names of your selling and
servicing dealerships.
