Important:You must use the Dispute
Settlement Program (or, in California,
the CDSP) before seeking remedies
through a court action pursuant to the
Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act (the
“Act”). However, if you choose to
pursue rights and remedies not created
by the Act, you are not required to use
the Dispute Settlement Program
(CDSP). You may also be required to
use the Dispute Settlement Program or
CDSP before seeking remedies under
the “Lemon Laws” of your state. Please
check this booklet and the appropriate
page of the
Owner’s Warranty Rights
Notification
booklet for additional
information and the requirements
applicable to your state.
Who Is the Warrantor
The warrantor for these limited warranties
is Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc.
(Toyota), a California corporation, P.O.
Box 259001, Plano, Texas 75025-9001.
Which Vehicles Are Covered
These warranties apply to all 2017 model
year RAV4 vehicles distributed by Toyota
that are originally sold by an authorized
dealer in the United States and normally
operated or touring in the United States,
U.S. territories or Canada. Warranty
coverage is automatically transferred at no
cost to subsequent vehicle owners.
Multiple Warranty Conditions
This booklet contains warranty terms and
conditions that may vary depending on the
part covered. A warranty for specific parts
or systems, such as the Powertrain
Warranty or Emission Performance
Warranty, is governed by the coverage set
forth in that warranty as well as the
General Warranty Provisions.
When Warranty Begins
The warranty period begins on the
vehicle’s in-service date, which is the first
date the vehicle is either delivered to an
ultimate purchaser, leased, or used as a
company car or demonstrator.
Repairs Made at No Charge
Repairs and adjustments covered by these
warranties are made at no charge for parts
and labor.
Parts Replacement
Any needed parts replacement will be
made using new or remanufactured parts.
The decision whether a part should be
repaired or replaced will be made by the
servicing Toyota dealership and/or Toyota.
Parts scheduled to be replaced as required
maintenance are warranted until their first
replacement only.

in connection with this vehicle.

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 18–19 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 18–19 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.
