Limitations
The performance of necessary repairs and
adjustments is the exclusive remedy under
these warranties or any implied warranties.

create for it any other obligation or liability
in connection with this vehicle.
Any implied warranty of merchantability
or fitness for a particular purpose is
limited to the duration of these written

apply to you.

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.
