TOYOTA FR-S 2016 Warranties & Maintenance Guides (in English)

REPLACEMENT PARTS
Warranty coverage is not dependent
upon the use of any particular brand of
replacement parts. However, Scion
recommends using only Scion
Authorized Parts when you need to
replace a part on your vehicle. Like all
Scion products, Scion Authorized Parts
are built to the highest standards of
quality, durability and performance.
They are also designed to fit your
vehicle’s exact specifications.
Your Authorized Servicing Dealership
maintains an extensive inventory of
Scion Authorized Parts to meet your
vehicle service needs. And because it is
linked electronically to Scion’s Parts
Distribution Centers, the dealership
has quick access to any parts it may
not have in stock.Scion Authorized 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–Scion Authorized Parts, or any
damage or failures resulting from
their use, are not covered by any
Scion warranty.

Your Responsibilities30

BY GEOGRAPHIC REGION
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.

R
egular 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 “Vehicle
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.

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.

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.

MAINTENANCE

Miles or Months?
Scion recommends obtaining
scheduled maintenance for your vehicle
every 7,500 miles or seven and a half
months, whichever comes first.
For example:
>If you drive 7,500 miles in less than
seven and a half months, you should
obtain maintenance at7,500 miles-
don’t wait until seven and a half
months.
>If at seven and a half months you
have driven less than 7,500 miles,
you should obtain maintenance at
seven and a half months- don’t
wait until 7,500 miles.
Be sure to keep an eye on your mileage
so that you obtain maintenance when
recommended. If you are a low-mileage
driver, mark your calendar to remind
yourself to obtain maintenance every
six months.
Severe Operating Conditions
In addition to standard maintenance
items, the maintenance log indicates
services that should be performed on
vehicles that are driven under
especially demanding conditions.
These “severe operating conditions”
and their required maintenance items
are clearly indicated in the chart. If one
or more of the severe operating
conditions outlined below better
describes how you typically operate
your vehicle, you will need to perform
some maintenance services more
often, follow the severe
recommendations.
>Repeated short distance driving.
>Driving on rough and/or muddy
roads.
>Driving in high humidity areas or in
mountainous areas.
>Driving in dusty conditions.
>Driving in extremely cold weather.
>Driving in areas where road salts or
other corrosive materials are used.
>Living in coastal areas.
NOTE:You should perform these
additional maintenance services if
you drive
primarilyunder any of the
severe operating conditions
indicated. If you drive only
occasionally under these
conditions, it is not necessary to
perform the additional services.
