INTRODUCTION
A
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 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. 
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 prepaid 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.
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.

INTRODUCTION
B
oth 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 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 windshield)
• 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 Owner’s  
Warranty Rights Notification booklet  
(found in your glove box) and mail it to:
National Center for Dispute Settlement 
P.O. Box 5152 8 4
Dallas, TX 75251-5284
To initiate arbitration, you must complete  
an NCDS customer claim form and mail it  
to NCDS. To request a form, call NCDS  
at (800) 777-8119 or obtain a copy at  
www.ncdsusa.org. When you call,  
please have your vehicle identification  
number, the current mileage on your  
Toyota and the names of your selling and 
servicing dealerships.

Dispute Settlement Program (CDSP). A  
brochure about the program is found in

Center at (800) 331-4331. You may also

rights and remedies under California’s   
“Lemon Laws.”

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.
 
 
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.
THE IMMOBILIZER KEY

INTRODUCTION
 
 
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  
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.

INTRODUCTION
W
e realize that your confidence  
in the quality and reliability  
of our products was a key  
factor in your decision to buy a Toyota.  
We also know how disruptive the loss  
of transportation can be to your daily  
routine. That’s why we’re pleased  
to offer you the benefits of our  
Transportation Assistance Policy.
Under this policy, you are eligible for 
transportation assistance if your  
Toyota must be kept overnight for  
warranty-covered repairs. The policy  
applies when your vehicle must be kept 
overnight for any of the following reasons:
•  The warranty repairs will take longer  
than one day to complete.
•  The warrantable condition requires 
extensive diagnosis.
•  The parts needed for the warranty  
repairs are not readily available and 
your vehicle is inoperative or unsafe  
to drive.
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 
2021 model-year Toyotas sold and  
serviced by authorized Toyota dealerships  
in the mainland United States and Alaska.
For further details, please consult your  
Toyota dealer.
