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
Vehicles With Altered Odometer
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
not allowed.
