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.

The following descriptions are
provided to give you a better
understanding of the
maintenance items that should be
performed on your vehicle. The
scheduled maintenance log indicates at
which mileage/time intervals each item
should be performed. Please note that
many maintenance items should be
performed only by a qualified
technician.
For further information on
maintenance items you can perform
yourself, see the “Maintenance and
Care” section of the
Owner’s
Manual.
Ball Joints and Dust Covers
Check the suspension and steering
linkage ball joints for looseness and
damage and wheel bearings for axial
play. Check all dust covers for
deterioration and damage. Replace any
deteriorated or damaged parts. A
qualified technician should perform
these operations.
Brake Lines and Hoses
Visually inspect for proper installation.
Check for chafing, cracks, deterioration
and signs of leakage. Replace any
deteriorated or damaged parts. A
qualified technician should perform
these operations.
Brake Linings/Drums and
Brake Pads/Discs
Check the brake linings (shoes) and
drums for scoring, burning, fluid
leakage, broken parts and excessive
wear. Check the pads for excessive
wear and the discs for runout,
excessive wear and fluid leakage.
Replace any deteriorated or damaged
parts. A qualified technician should
perform these operations.
Cabin Air Filter
Replace at specified intervals. Driving
in heavy traffic, on dirt roads or in
urban, desert or dusty areas may
shorten filter’s life. More frequent
replacement may be necessary.
Drive Belts
Inspect for cracks, excessive wear and
oiliness. Check the belt tension and
adjust if necessary. Replace the belts if
they are damaged.
Drive Shaft Boots
Check the drive shaft boots and clamps
for cracks, deterioration and damage.
Replace any deteriorated or damaged
parts and, if necessary, repack the
grease. A qualified technician should
perform these operations.
