TOYOTA RAV4 EV 2012 1.G Warranty And Maintenance Guide

W
e realize that your confidence in
the quality and reliability of our
products was a key factor in
your decision to buy a Toyota. We also
know how disruptive the loss of
transportation can be to your daily routine.
That’s why we’re pleased to offer you the
benefits of our Transportation Assistance
Policy.
Under this policy, you are eligible for
transportation assistance if your Toyota
must be kept overnight for
warranty-covered repairs. The policy
applies when your vehicle must be kept
overnight for any of the following reasons:
• The warranty repairs will take longer
than
one day to complete.
• The warrantable condition requires
extensive

diagnosis.
• The parts needed for the warranty
repairs

are not readily available and
your vehicle is inoperative or unsafe
to drive.
The policy does not apply when warranty
repairs can be completed in one day but
the vehicle must be kept overnight due to
dealer or owner scheduling conflicts.
The Transportation Assistance Policy
applies for the duration of the New Vehicle
Limited Warranty. The policy applies to all
2012 model-year Toyotas sold and
serviced by authorized Toyota dealerships
in the mainland United States and Alaska.
For further details, please consult your
Toyota dealer.

Who Is the Warrantor
The warrantor for these limited warranties
is Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc.
(“Toyota”), 19001 South Western Avenue,
Torrance, California 90509-2991, a
California corporation.
Which Vehicles Are Covered
These warranties apply to all 2012 model
year RAV4 EV 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 Traction Battery 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.
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.

Gradual Capacity Reduction of
Traction Battery
Traction battery capacity (the ability to
hold a charge) gradually reduces with time
and use. This is a natural characteristic of
lithium-ion batteries. The extent at which
capacity is reduced changes drastically
depending on the environment (ambient
temperature, etc.) and usage conditions
such as how the vehicle is driven and how
the traction battery is charged. Reduction
of traction battery capacity isNOTcovered
under warranty. In order to lessen the
possibility of capacity reduction, follow the
directions listed in the
Owner’s Manual
under “Capacity Reduction of the Traction
Battery.”
Normal Wear and Tear
Noise, vibration, cosmetic conditions and
other deterioration caused by normal wear
and tear.
Maintenance Expense
Normal maintenance services such as:
• Replacement of fluids and filters
• Lubrication
• Cleaning and polishing
• Replacement of worn wiper blades
and

brake pads/linings

Failure of a vehicle on which the odometer
has been altered so that actual vehicle
mileage cannot be readily determined.
Salvage or Total-Loss Vehicles
Any vehicle that has ever been issued a
“salvage” title or similar title under any
state’s law; or has ever been declared a
“total loss” or equivalent by a financial
institution or insurer, such as by payment
for a claim in lieu of repairs because the
cost of repairs exceeded the cash value of
the vehicle.
Incidental Damages
Incidental or consequential damages
associated with a vehicle failure. Such
damages include but are not limited to
inconvenience; the cost of transportation,
telephone calls and lodging; the loss of
personal or commercial property; and the
loss of pay or revenue.
Disclaimer of Extra Expenses and
Damages
The performance of necessary repairs
and adjustments is the exclusive
remedy under this warranty or any
implied warranty. Toyota does not
authorize any person to create for it
any other obligation or liability in
connection with this vehicle. Toyota
shall not be liable for incidental or
consequential damages resulting from
breach of this written warranty or any
implied warranty. Any implied warranty
of merchantability or fitness for a
particular purpose is limited to the
duration of this written warranty,
except in states where this limitation is

GENERAL INFORMATION
You are responsible for ensuring that your
Toyota is operated and maintained
according to the instructions in the
Owner’s Manualand this booklet.
You should keep detailed records of
vehicle maintenance, since under some
circumstances they may be required for
warranty coverage. These records should
include date of service, mileage at time of
service and a description of service
performed and/or parts installed. For your
convenience, a maintenance log is
included in this booklet. If you sell your
vehicle, you should give your maintenance
records to the new owner.
Toyota will not deny a warranty claim
solely because you do not have records to
show that you maintained your vehicle.
However, damage or failures caused by
lack of proper maintenance are not
covered under warranty.
WHERE TO GO FOR
MAINTENANCE
You may have maintenance performed on
your vehicle by any qualified person or
facility. However, Toyota recommends
having maintenance performed by an
authorized RAV4 EV Toyota dealership.
Powertrain and high voltage component
service or repairs should be performed by
an authorized RAV4 EV Toyota dealership
in accordance with the safety precautions
discussed at the beginning of this booklet.
In addition, software updates may be
available during your scheduled
maintenance visit and can only be installed
by an authorized RAV4 EV Toyota
dealership.
RAV4 EV authorized Toyota dealerships
have technicians who are specially trained
to maintain and repair Toyota RAV4 EV
vehicles. They stay current on the latest
service information through Toyota
technical bulletins, service publications
and training courses. They are also
certified through the Toyota Certification
Program, which involves a series of
rigorous written examinations. Feel free to
ask the Toyota dealership to show you
their technicians’ credentials.

best possible service for your vehicle
when you take it to an authorized RAV4
EV Toyota dealership.
