In the United States, U.S.
Territories, Canada and
Mexico
To obtain warranty service in the United
States, U.S. territories, Canada or
Mexico, take your vehicle to an
Authorized Servicing Dealership. If your
vehicle cannot be driven, contact your
nearest Authorized Servicing
Dealership for towing assistance. You
do not have to pay for towing to the
nearest Authorized Servicing
Dealership if your vehicle is inoperable
due to failure of a warranted part.
Outside the United States,
U.S. Territories, Canada and
Mexico
If you are using your vehicle outside the
United States, U.S. territories, Canada
and Mexico 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.
EMERGENCY REPAIRS
If your vehicle is inoperable or unsafe
to drive and there is no Authorized
Servicing Dealership reasonably
available to make repairs, you may
perform the repairs yourself or have
them performed by another automotive
service provider. Scion will reimburse
you for any of the repairs that are
covered by warranty. To receive
reimbursement, present to an
Authorized Servicing 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 Scion’s recommended
time allowance for the repair.
If your vehicle requires emergency
repair, Scion assumes no liability for
subsequent failures caused by
improper repairs or the use of
non-Scion Authorized 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
Servicing Dealership as soon as
possible after an emergency repair.

Regular maintenance is essential
to obtaining the highest level of
performance, safety and
reliability from your Scion. It can also
increase your vehicle’s resale value.
The following pages are designed to
help you make sure your vehicle
receives proper and timely
maintenance. Along with other
important information related to vehicle
service, you’ll find
factory-recommended maintenance
guidelines and a log in which to
document your vehicle’s maintenance
history. In addition to scheduled maintenance,
your vehicle requires ongoing general
maintenance such as fluid checks and
visual inspections. These procedures
are explained in the “Maintenance and
Care” section of the Owner’s Manual.
Be sure to perform these procedures
regularly to ensure the most
trouble-free operation of your vehicle.
With proper maintenance and care,
your vehicle will last longer and deliver
more dependable, economical
performance. Follow this booklet’s
recommendations and you’ll enjoy
maximum reliability and peace of mind
from your Scion for many years to
come.

Now that you’ve got your Scion
on the road, you want to make
sure it keeps going. That’s
where scheduled maintenance comes
in. Taking your car in for regular service
will help your ride run better and last
longer. It will keep your repair bills
down too.
This booklet makes it easy to keep your
Scion running smoothly. It lists all the
factory-recommended services and
tells you when your vehicle needs
them. Be sure to look this booklet over
carefully and keep it in your glove box.
Do what it says and your Scion should
be happy for many miles to come.
Put it In Writing
To help you keep track of your Scion’s
service history, each maintenance
chart in this booklet includes:
>Boxes to check for each service
item performed
>Space for the maintenance provider
to include a service verification
stamp
>Space to write the date and mileage
that service is performed
Documenting your service history may
make your car worth more when you’re
ready to sell. There’s a reason smart
people write things down.
In addition to scheduled
maintenance, your vehicle requires
general maintenance such as fluid
checks and visual inspections.
These procedures are explained in
the “Maintenance and Care” section
of the
Owner’s Manual.To help keep
your Scion out of trouble, be sure to
perform these procedures regularly.
Scion is a marque of Toyota Motor
Sales, U.S.A., Inc.

IMPORTANT
MAINTENANCE
INFORMATION
It is especially important to both
routinely check your vehicle’s engine
oil level (once a month) and regularly
replace the engine oil and oil filter
(see the Maintenance Log section of
this booklet to determine how often
you should change your vehicle’s oil
and filter). Failure to do so can cause
oil starvation and or oil gelling, which
can result in severe damage to your
vehicle and require costly repairs that
are not covered by the New Vehicle
Limited Warranty.
Maintenance Records
To make sure your warranty coverage
stays intact, you need to maintain your
Scion according to the
recommendations in this booklet. You
should keep records of vehicle
maintenance, including date and
mileage at time of service and a
description of service items performed
and parts installed. The scheduled
maintenance log can help you keep
track of this information. If you sell
your car, be sure to give your
maintenance records to the new owner.
Scion will not deny a warranty claim
solely because you don’t have records
to show that you maintained your
vehicle. However, damage or failures
caused by lack of proper maintenance
are not covered under warranty.
Maintenance Providers
You can have maintenance and repair
services done by any automotive
service provider you choose, or you can
do them yourself. Scion won’t deny a
warranty claim solely because you used
a service provider other than a Scion
dealership for maintenance and
repairs. However, damage or failures
caused by improper maintenance or
repairs are not covered under warranty.
NOTE:Only Scion dealerships and
Toyota dealerships are authorized to
provide warranty service/repairs for
your Scion.
Dealer-Recommended
Maintenance
Your dealer may recommend more
frequent maintenance intervals or
more maintenance services than those
listed in the scheduled maintenance
log. These additional services are not
required to maintain your warranty
coverage. Ask your dealer to explain
any recommended maintenance not
included in the scheduled maintenance
log.
For a complete description of Scion
warranty coverages, see the
Warranty Information portion of this
booklet.
