REPLACEMENT PARTS IF YOUR VEHICLE FAILS A SMOG-CHECK TEST
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 non-Genuine
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 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 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
a delay, or when a delay is caused by factors beyond the control of
Toyota or the dealership.

Warranty, see page 29, “Obtaining Warranty Service.”

You are responsible for ensuring that your Toyota is operated and
maintained according to the instructions in the
Owner’s Manualand
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 conve-
nience, a maintenance log is included in the
Scheduled Maintenance
Guide
. 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
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 dealer-
ship will always use Genuine Toyota Parts designed specifically for your
vehicle.

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 dealer-
ship has quick access to any parts it may not have in stock.
Genuine Toyota 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. Non-Genuine Toyota Parts,
or any damage or failures resulting from their use, are not covered
by any Toyota warranty.
