within three months or 4,000 miles
(whichever comes first) of delivery
to the ultimate purchaser, and the

used in accordance with the written
instructions for proper maintenance


and use, Toyota will remedy the nonconformity
free of charge under the terms of the Emission
Performance Warranty.
5) If the vehicle was used as a company
car or demonstrator, check the box and
complete the following:

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.
CALIFORNIA EMISSION CONTROL WARRANTY
†
Covered under the Hybrid System Warranty for eight years or 100,000 miles, whichever occurs first, with the exception of
the hybrid battery covered for ten years or 150,000 miles, whichever occurs first.

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
A SMOG-CHECK TEST
If your vehicle fails a smog-check 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 smog-check test
report. Also, take your maintenance
records in case they are needed.
If your claim qualifies 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.

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE

GENERAL INFORMATION
You are responsible for ensuring that
your Toyota is operated and maintained
according to the instructions in the
Owner’s Manual and this booklet.
You should keep detailed records of
vehicle maintenance, since under some
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.

WHERE TO GO
FOR MAINTENANCE
You may have maintenance performed
on your vehicle by any qualified person
or facility. However, Toyota recommends
having maintenance performed by an
authorized Toyota dealership.
Toyota dealership technicians are specially
trained to maintain and repair Toyota
vehicles. They stay current on the latest
service information through Toyota
technical bulletins, service publications
and training courses. Many are also
certified through the Toyota Certification
Program, which involves a series of
rigorous written examinations. Feel free
to ask any Toyota dealership to show you
their technicians’ credentials.
You can be confident you’re getting the
best possible service for your vehicle
when you take it to a Toyota dealership.

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE


REPLACEMENT PARTS
Warranty coverage is not dependent
upon the use of any particular brand
of replacement parts. However, Toyota
recommends using only Toyota Genuine
Parts when you need to replace a part
on your vehicle. Like all Toyota products,
Toyota Genuine Parts are built to the
highest standards of quality, durability
and performance. They are also designed
to fit your vehicle’s exact specifications.
Your Toyota dealership maintains an
extensive inventory of Toyota Genuine
Parts to meet your vehicle service needs.
And because it is linked electronically to
Toyota’s Parts Distribution Centers, the
dealership has quick access to any parts
it may not have in stock.


Toyota Genuine Parts are covered by their
own warranty (see your dealer for details)
or the remainder of any applicable New
Vehicle Limited Warranty, whichever is
longer. Parts that are not Toyota Genuine
Parts, or any damage or failures resulting
from their use, are not covered by any
Toyota warranty.

WARRANTY
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 parts that are not Toyota Genuine
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.
