WARRANTY


REPLACEMENT PARTS
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 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.

IF YOUR VEHICLE FAILS
AN EMISSIONS TEST
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 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
when 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 32, “Obtaining Warranty Service.”

MAINTENANCE
You are responsible for performance of
the required maintenance indicated in the
Owner ’s Manual and this booklet. 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 solely
because you used a service provider
other than a Toyota dealership for
maintenance and repairs. However,
any failure or noncompliance caused by
improper maintenance or repairs is not
covered by this warranty.
