A
t Toyota, our top priority is always
our customers. We know your
Toyota is an important part of your
life and something you depend on every
day. That’s why we’re dedicated to building
products of the highest quality and
reliability.
Our excellent warranty coverage is
evidence that we stand behind the quality
of our vehicles. We’re confident — as you
should be — that your Toyota will provide
you with many years of enjoyable driving.
To further demonstrate our commitment to
our customers’ satisfaction, occasionally
we may establish a special policy
adjustment to pay for specific repairs that
are no longer covered by warranty. When
we establish such a policy adjustment, we
mail details to all applicable owners we
have on record. That’s why it’s important
to send in the card at the back of this
booklet if you change your address or if
you’ve purchased this vehicle from a
previous owner.
To provide you with added protection
against unexpected service costs, we offer
Toyota Extra Care vehicle service
agreements and Toyota Auto Care pre-paid
maintenance programs. Both offer plans to
meet a wide variety of needs. Your
dealership can help you select the plan
that’s best for you. Our goal is for every Toyota customer to
enjoy outstanding quality, dependability
and peace of mind throughout their
ownership experience. We want you to be
a satisfied member of the Toyota family
for many miles to come.
Pages 5–31 of this booklet describe
the terms of Toyota warranty coverage
as well as general owner
responsibilities. The scheduled
maintenance section describes your
vehicle’s maintenance requirements. Be
sure to review this information
carefully, since proper maintenance is
required to ensure that warranty
coverage remains intact.
All information in this booklet is the latest
available at the time of publication and,
with the exception of the emission control
warranties, is subject to change without
notice.

repaired or replaced will be made by the
servicing Toyota dealership and/or Toyota.

maintenance are warranted until their first
replacement only.
Limitations

adjustments is the exclusive remedy under
these warranties or any implied warranties.
Toyota does not authorize any person to
create for it any other obligation or liability
in connection with this vehicle.
Any implied warranty of merchantability
or fitness for a particular purpose is
limited to the duration of these written
warranties.Some states do not allow
restrictions on how long an implied
warranty lasts, so this limitation may not
apply to you.

rights. You may also have other rights that
vary from state to state.

WHAT IS COVERED AND
HOW LONG
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.
Specific components may have longer
coverage under the terms of the
Powertrain Warranty. Additionally,
components marked “8/80” in the parts
list on pages 17–18 have coverage of
eight years or 80,000 miles, whichever
occurs first.
Emission Performance Warranty
Some states and localities have
established vehicle inspection and
maintenance (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 17–18 have coverage of
eight years or 80,000 miles, whichever
occurs first.

MAINTENANCE
You are responsible for performance of
the required maintenance indicated in the
Owner’s Manualand 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.
* Warranted until first required maintenance under terms of the California Emission Control Warranty.
8/80 = Covered for eight years or 80,000 miles, whichever occurs first.

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 31, “Obtaining Warranty Service.”
