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 confident
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.
To provide you with added protection against unexpected service costs,
we offer Toyota Extra Care vehicle service agreements and Toyota Auto
Care pre-paid maintenance programs. Both offer plans to meet a wide

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 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. A separate publication
found in your glove box, the Scheduled Maintenance Guide,
describes your vehicle’s maintenance requirements. Be sure to
review this publication carefully, since proper maintenance is
required to ensure that warranty coverage remains intact.

If You Need Assistance
Both Toyota and your Toyota dealer are dedicated to serving your
automotive needs. Your complete 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 Assistance Center at (800) 331–4331. If you
are hearing- or speech-impaired, call (800)443-4999 (TDD).

AToyota 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

have your vehicle identification number, the current mileage on your
Toyota and the names of your selling and servicing dealerships.
Important: You must use the Dispute Settlement Program before seeking
remedies through a court action pursuant to the Magnuson-Moss
Warranty Act. You may also be required to use the Dispute Settlement
Program before seeking remedies under the “Lemon Laws” of your state.
Please check the appropriate page of the Owner’s Warranty Rights
Notification booklet for the requirements applicable to your state.

You are responsible for performance of the required maintenance indicated in the Owner’s Manual and the Scheduled Maintenance Guide.
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 simply because you
used a service provider other than a Toyota dealership for maintenance and repairs. However, any failure or non-compliance caused by
improper maintenance or repairs is not covered by this warranty.
To ensure optimum performance and maintain the quality built into
your vehicle’s emission control systems, Toyota recommends the use of
Genuine Toyota Parts when servicing or repairing the systems.
Warranty coverage is not dependentupon the use of any particular
brand of replacement parts and you may elect to use non–Genuine
Toyota Parts for maintenance and repairs. However, use of replacement parts that are not equivalent in quality to Genuine Toyota
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 Genuine Toyota 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 Genuine Toyota Parts.

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 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 a delay is caused by factors beyond the control of Toyota or the
dealership.

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 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 29, “Obtaining Warranty Service.”

Operation and Maintenance
GENERAL INFORMATION WHERE TO GO FOR MAINTENANCE
You are responsible for ensuring that your Toyota is operated and maintained according to the instructions in the Owner’s Manual and the
Scheduled Maintenance Guide.
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 the Scheduled Maintenance
Guide. If you sell your vehicle, you should give your maintenance records
to the newowner.
Toyota will not deny a warranty claim solely because you do not have
records to show that you maintained your vehicle. However, damage or
failures caused by lack of proper maintenance are not covered under
warranty.
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 its technicians’ credentials.
You can be confident you’re getting the best possible service for your
vehicle when you take it to a Toyota dealership. Plus, a Toyota dealership will always use Genuine Toyota Parts designed specifically for your
vehicle.

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
Genuine Toyota Parts when you need to replace a part on your vehicle.
Like all Toyota products, Genuine Toyota 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 Genuine
Toyota Parts to meet your vehicle service needs. And because it is linked
electronically to Toyota’s Parts Distribution Centers, the dealership has
quickaccess to any parts it may not have in stock.
Genuine Toyota Parts are covered by their own warranty (see your dealer
fordetails) or the remainder of any applicable New Vehicle Limited
Warranty, whichever is longer. Non–Genuine Toyota Parts, or any
damage or failures resulting from their use, are not covered by
any Toyota warranty.

Obtaining Warranty Service
BY GEOGRAPHIC REGION EMERGENCY REPAIRS
In the United States, U.S. Territories
and Canada
To obtain warranty service in the United States, U.S. territories or Canada,
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
and Canada
If you are using your vehicle outside the United States, U.S. territories
and Canada 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.
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
forsubsequent failures caused by improper repairs or the use of nonGenuine Toyota 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.
