Satisfaction Down the Road
t Toyota, our top priority is always our customers. We know your Toyota is an important part of your
A
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

INTRODUCTION

of our vehicles. We’re confident — 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 specific 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. That’s why it’s important to send in the card at the back of this booklet if you change your address or if you’ve purchased this vehicle from a previous owner.
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 satisfied 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.
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 pre-paid 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.

satisfaction is our first 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 window)
Current mileage on your vehicle
Name of your Toyota dealership
A Toyota customer relations representative will assist you in working with the dealership to find 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
Warranty Rights Notification
(found in your glove box) and mail it to:
National Center for Dispute Settlement P.O. Box 688 Mt. Clemens, MI 48046
If you would like to request a customer claim form, call the Toyota Customer Experience Center at (800) 331-4331. When you call, please have your vehicle identification number, the current mileage on your Toyota and the names of your selling and servicing dealerships.

Introduction
THE NEW WORLD OF ANTI-THEFT TECHNOLOGY
This Toyota vehicle may be equipped with an electronic “immobilizer” anti-theft system. When the key is inserted into the ignition switch it transmits an electronic code to an immobilizer computer. The engine will only start if the code in the key matches the code in the immobilizer. If the code does not match, the immobilizer disables the ignition and fuel systems. While an exact physical copy of the key will open the door and allow retrieval of items locked in the vehicle, it won’t start the vehicle unless the key has the same code as the immobilizer.
The Immobilizer Key
SECURITY
For security purposes, access to key codes and service procedures for electronically registering replacement keys is restricted. Only a Toyota dealer or certain bonded/registered independent locksmiths can generate replacement keys.
INTRODUCTION

The Immobilizer Key
REPLACING THE KEY
Upon purchase, each vehicle should have two master keys and an aluminum tag with a key-code imprinted on it.
To generate a fully functional replacement key (one that will both open the doors and start the engine), one of the master keys is required. To make a key that will open the door for retrieval of items locked inside the vehicle, the aluminum key-code
INTRODUCTION
tag can be used. If a master key or the aluminum key-code tag is not available, a Toyota dealer or certain registered locksmiths can obtain the key code from a restricted-access database. These businesses can also access a service utility to reprogram the immobilizer if all registered master keys have been lost. If a Toyota dealer is not available, please refer to www.aloa.org to find a bonded/registered locksmith who performs high security key service.
KEEPING THE KEY SAFE
Replacing an immobilizer key may be costly. It is advisable to keep a spare master key and the aluminum key-code tag in a safe place. If you record the key-code in more than one place, do not record it in a way that can be easily identified and associated with the vehicle. It is wise to keep a copy of the key-code outside of the vehicle.
If the vehicle was delivered with less than two keys and the aluminum key-code tag, consider having the Toyota dealer or a qualified independent automotive locksmith make a duplicate key before you need it.

Repairs Made at No Charge
Repairs and adjustments covered by these warranties are made at no charge for parts and labor.
Parts Replacement
Any needed parts replacement will be made using new or remanufactured parts. The decision whether a part should be repaired or replaced will be made by the servicing Toyota dealership and/or Toyota. Parts scheduled to be replaced as required maintenance are warranted until their first replacement only.

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.
