elcome to Scion. You’ve joined
a select group of car buyers:
people who want a vehicle that
sets them apart from the crowd. We creat-
ed the car, but you made it your own —
reflecting your life and your own sense
of style.
Of course, quality and reliability are just as
important as a stylish ride. After all, if the
ride doesn’t go, what’s the point? Which
is the point of Scion’s excellent warranty
coverage. We stand behind the quality of
our vehicles. This booklet tells you just
how much. Your satisfaction is really important to us,
so occasionally we may create a special
policy adjustment to pay for certain repairs
that are no longer covered by warranty.
When we do this, we mail details to the
owners we have on record. That’s why it’s
important to send in the card
at the back
of this booklet if you move or if you bought
your Scion from a previous owner. Just
tear out the card and drop it in the mail;
you don’t even have to put a stamp on it.
We want you to be confident that your ride
will keep you on the road — and that Scion
will keep you covered when you need it.
We think you’ll feel pretty good about that
after taking a look at this booklet. Again,
welcome to Scion!
WE’VE GOT YOU COVERED

This booklet describes the terms of
Scion
warranty coverage as well as
general
owner responsibilities.
Another
booklet found in your glove
box,
the Scheduled Maintenance
Guide
, describes your vehicle’s main-
tenance
requirements. Be sure to look
that
one over pretty carefully, since
proper
maintenance is required to
ensure
that warranty coverage
remains
intact.
All the info 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.

oth Scion and your dealership want
to make your Scion ownership
experience easy and convenient.
If you have a problem or concern — either
during or after the warranty period —
please take the following steps to ensure
a quick response:
Step 1
Talk to a dealership manager, such as the
service manager or customer relations
manager. In most cases, you can reach a
satisfactory solution at this step.
Step 2
If you’re not happy with the solution
provided by the dealership, call Scion
Customer Experience at (866) 70-SCION,
or (866) 707-2466. If you are hearing- or
speech-impaired, call (800) 443-4999
(TDD).
To help everything move quickly, please
have the following information at hand
when you call:
› Your Scion’s vehicle identification num-
ber (located on the driver’s side corner
of the dashboard, under the window)
› Current mileage on your vehicle
› Name of your Scion dealership
A Scion customer relations representative
will help you work with the dealership to
find a satisfactory solution.
Step 3
If you’re still not satisfied after pursuing
steps 1 and 2, Scion offers additional
assistance through the Dispute Settlement
Program, a dispute resolution program
administered by the National Center for
Dispute Settlement. The purpose of this
program is to resolve disputes through
arbitration — a process by which two par-
ties authorize an independent third party
to hear and resolve a dispute. The program
is informal and free of charge.
To request that your case be reviewed
through the program, complete the cus-
tomer claim form in the
Owner’s Warranty
Rights Notification
booklet (found in your
glove box) and mail it to:
National Center for Dispute Settlement
P.O. Box 688

You are responsible for performance of
the required maintenance indicated in
the
Owner’s Manualand the Scheduled
Maintenance Guide
. Scion recommends
that you retain all receipts covering main-
tenance on your vehicle, but Scion cannot
deny warranty coverage solely for the
lack of receipts or your failure to ensure
the performance of all scheduled mainte-
nance.
You are responsible for presenting your
vehicle to an Authorized Servicing Dealer -
ship as soon as a problem exists. The
warranty repairs should be completed
in a reasonable amount of time, not to
exceed 30 days. You should also be aware that Scion may
deny you warranty coverage if your vehicle
or a part has failed due to abuse, neglect,
improper maintenance or unapproved
modifications.
If you have
any questions regarding your
warranty rights and responsibilities, you
should contact Scion Customer Experience
at (866) 70-SCION, or (866) 707-2466. You
may also contact the California Air
Resources Board, Mobile Source Control

to failures or noncompliance caused by:

fied in accordance with aftermarket
parts certification regulations.

alent in quality or design to original
equipment parts.

cle’s emission control systems, Scion
recommends the use of Scion Authorized
Parts when servicing or repairing the systems.
Warranty coverage is not dependent
upon the use of any particular brand of
replace ment parts, and you may elect to
use non-Scion Authorized Parts for main-
tenance and repairs. However, use of
replacement parts that are not equiva lent
in quality to Scion Authorized 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 Scion Authorized
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
Scion Authorized Parts.

21Your Warranties in Detail
17922.Guts.qxd:Scion Warranty_text 2/22/08 8:01 PM Page 21

You are responsible for ensuring that your
Scion is operated and maintained accord-
ing to the instructions in the
Owner’s
Manual
and the Scheduled Maintenance
Guide
.
You should keep detailed records of vehicle
maintenance, since under some circum-
stances 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 conve-
nience, a maintenance log is included in
the
Scheduled Maintenance Guide. If you
sell your vehicle, you should give your
maintenance records to the new owner.
Scion will not deny a warranty claim solely
because you do not have records to show
that you maintained your vehicle. How ever,
damage or failures caused by improper
maintenance or lack of maintenance are
not covered under warranty. You can be confident you’re getting the
best
possible service for your vehicle when
you take it to an Authorized Servicing
Dealer ship. Plus, an Authorized Servicing
Dealership will always use Scion Author -
ized Parts designed specifically for your
vehicle.
GENERAL INFORMATION WHERE TO
GO FOR
MAINTENANCE
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
You may have maintenance performed
on your vehicle by any qualified person
or facility. However, Scion recommends
having maintenance performed by an
Authorized Servicing Dealership.
Technicians at Authorized Servicing
Dealerships are specially trained to main-
tain and repair Scion vehicles. They stay
current on the latest service information
through Scion technical bulletins, service
publications and training courses. Many
are also factory-certified. That means they
have passed rigorous exams through both
Scion and the National Institute for
Automotive Service Excellence.
25Your Responsibilities
17922.Guts.qxd:Scion Warranty_text 2/22/08 8:01 PM Page 25

Warranty coverage is not dependent upon
the use of any particular brand of replace-
ment parts. However, Scion recommends
using only Scion Authorized Parts when
you need to replace a part on your vehicle.
Like all Scion products, Scion Authorized
Parts are built to the highest standards of
quality, durability and perform ance. They
are also designed to fit your vehicle’s exact
specifications.
Your Authorized Servicing Dealership
maintains an extensive inventory of Scion
Authorized Parts to meet your vehicle
service needs. And because it is linked
electronically to Scion’s Parts Distribution
Centers, the dealership has quick access
to any parts it may not have in stock. Scion Authorized Parts are covered by
their own warranty (see your dealer for
details) or the remainder of any applicable
New Vehicle Limited Warranty, whichever
is longer.
Non–Scion Authorized Parts, or
any damage or failures resulting from
their use, are not covered by any Scion
warranty.

In the United States, U.S.
Territories and Canada
To obtain warranty service in the United
States, U.S. territories or Canada, take
your vehicle to an Authorized Servicing
Dealer ship. If your vehicle cannot be dri-
ven, contact your nearest Authorized
Servicing Dealership for towing assistance.
You do not have to pay for towing to the

OBTAINING WARRANTY SERVICE
Outside the United States, U.S.
Territories and Canada
If you are using your vehicle outside the
United States, U.S. territories and Canada
and need warranty service, contact a local
Toyota dealership. Please note, however,
that your vehicle may not be repaired free
of charge because the local Toyota distrib-
utor may have no obligation to provide
warranty service for your vehicle, and/or
your vehicle may not comply with local
regulatory or environ mental requirements.
27Your Responsibilities
17922.Guts.qxd:Scion Warranty_text 2/22/08 8:01 PM Page 27

If your vehicle is inoperable or unsafe to
drive and there is no Authorized Servicing
Dealership reasonably available to make
repairs, you may perform the repairs your-
self or have them performed by another
automotive service provider. Scion will
reimburse you for any of the repairs that
are covered by warranty. To receive reim-
bursement, present to an Authorized
Servicing Dealership your paid repair
invoices and any parts that were removed
from the vehicle. You will be reimbursed
for warranted parts at the manufacturer’s
suggested retail price and warranted labor
at a geographically appropriate hourly
rate multiplied by Scion’s recommended
time allowance for the repair. If your vehicle requires emergency repair,
Scion assumes no liability for subsequent
failures caused by improper repairs or the
use of non-Scion Authorized Parts unless
you have the vehicle properly repaired in
a timely manner. To ensure that warranty
coverage remains intact, have your vehicle
inspected by an Authorized Servicing
Dealership as soon as possible after an
emergency repair.
