Page 15 of 35
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
or 24,000 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 or80,000 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.

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 nothave
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 simply because you
used a service provider other than a Toyota dealership for mainte-
nance and repairs.However, any failure or non-compliance 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 dependentupon 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 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 shorterperiod 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 a delay is caused by factors beyond the control of Toyota or the
dealership.
