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 confident
— as you should be— that your
Toyota will provide you with many years of enjoyable driving.
To furtherdemonstrate our commitment to our customers’ satisfaction,
occasionally we may establish a special policy adjustment to pay for spe
cific repairs that are no longer covered by warranty. When we establish
such a policy adjustment, we mail details to all applicable owners wehave 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 widevariety 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 experi
ence. 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.
All information in this booklet is the latest available at the time of pub
lication and, with the exception of the emission control warranties, is
subject to change without notice.

The policy does not apply when warranty repairs can be completed
in one day but the vehicle must be kept overnight due to dealer or
owner scheduling conflicts.The Transportation Assistance Policy applies for the duration of the New
Vehicle Limited Warranty. The policy applies to all 2006 model year
Toyotas sold and serviced by authorized Toyota dealerships in the

first date the vehicle is either delivered to an ultimate purchaser, leased,
orused as a company car or demonstrator.
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 remanufac
tured parts. The decision whether a part should be repaired or replaced

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
or24,000 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. Speci
fic components may have longer coverage under the terms of the
Powertrain Warranty. Additionally, components marked “8/80” in the
parts list on pages 15–16 have coverage of eight years or 80,000 miles,
whichever occurs first.
Emission Performance Warranty
Some states and localities have established vehicle inspection and main
tenance (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 15–16 have coverage of eight years or
80,000 miles, whichever occurs first.

Federal Emission Control Warranty
Page 19 of 38
You are responsible for performance of the required maintenance indi
cated in the
Owner’s Manualand 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 youchoose. Toyota will not deny a warranty claim solely because you
used a service provider other than a Toyota dealership for mainte-nance and repairs.
However, any failure ornoncompliance 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 dependent upon the use of any particular
brand of replacement parts and you may elect to use nonÐGenuine
Toyota Parts for maintenance and repairs. However, use of replace-
ment 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.

If your vehicle fails an EPA approved emissions 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
emissions test report. Also, take your maintenance records in case they
are needed.
If your claim qualifies for coverage, the dealership will repair your vehi
cle 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 adelay, orwhen a delay is caused by factors beyond the control of Toyota
orthe dealership.

Warranty, see page 29, “Obtaining Warranty Service.”If you have questions or concerns about your vehicle’s federal emission

Emission Control System that are sold, registered and operated in
California or any state that adopts California emission warranty pro
visions are also covered by the California Emission Control Warranty

only other states to which the California Emission Control Warranty
