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.
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. 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.
This booklet describes 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 is
subject to change without notice.

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 2014 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.

recommendations in this booklet is
required to ensure that your warranty
coverage remains intact. You should keep
detailed records of vehicle maintenance,
including date of service, mileage at time
of service and a description of service
and/or parts installation performed. The

can help you document this information. If
you sell your vehicle, be sure to give your

However, damage or failure caused by lack
of proper maintenance are not covered
under warranty.

Maintenance and repair 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, damage or failure
caused by improper maintenance or
repairs are not covered under warranty.

frequent maintenance intervals or more
maintenance services than those listed in
the scheduled maintenance log. These

dealer to explain any recommended
maintenance not included in the scheduled
maintenance log.

performance from your Toyota. It
can also increase your vehicle’s resale
value. This booklet presents Toyota’s
maintenance recommendations in
convenient checklists, so you can easily

six months, you should obtain
maintenance at 5,000 miles- don’t
wait until six months. •
If at six months you have driven less
than 5,000 miles, you should obtain
maintenance at six months- don’t
wait until 5,000 miles.
Be sure to keep an eye on your mileage
so that you obtain maintenance when
recommended. If you are a low-mileage
driver, mark your calendar to remind
yourself to obtain maintenance every six
months.

To help you verify that you’ve invested in
proper maintenance, each maintenance
checklist includes space for your Toyota
dealership to certify that you obtained
Genuine Toyota Service for your vehicle.
