f for some reason your ride doesn’t go,
and your Scion must be kept overnight
for warranty-covered repairs, you are

overnight for any of the following reasons:
›The warranty repairs take more than
one day to complete.
›The warrantable condition requires
extensive diagnosis.
›The parts needed for the warranty
repairs are not readily available and your
car is inoperative or unsafe to drive.

ranty repairs can be completed in one day
but the car 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 to all 2009 model-year
Scions sold and serviced by Authorized

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

conform at the time of sale with applica -
ble federal emissions standards.

ranty be in effect for two years or 24,000

To ensure optimum performance and
maintain the quality built into your vehicle’s
emission control systems, Scion recom-
mends 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
replacement parts, and you may elect
to use non–Scion Authorized Parts for
maintenance and repairs. However, use
of replacement parts that are not equiva -
lent in quality to Scion Authorized Parts
may impair the effectiveness of the emis-
sion 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.
If your vehicle fails an EPA-approved emis-
sions test, you may make a claim under
the Emission Performance Warranty. To
do so, take your vehicle to an Authorized
Servicing Dealership and present a copy
of the emissions test report. Also, take
your maintenance records in case they
are needed.
If your claim qualifies for coverage, the
dealership will repair your vehicle within
30 days (unless a shorter period is required
by law). If your claim is denied, Scion will
notify you in writing of the reason within
the same period. If we fail to do so, we will
repair your vehicle free of charge. The only
exceptions allowed are when you request
or agree to a delay, or when a delay is
caused by factors beyond the control of
Scion or the dealership.

2) We have visually inspected those emis- sion control devices or portions thereof
that are visible without removing or
adjusting any components or systems,
emissions-related or otherwise. On the
basis of this inspec tion, there are no
apparent deficiencies in the installation
of emission control devices by Scion.
(For purposes of this certificate, “emis-
sion control devices” is limited to
devices installed on a vehicle for the
sole or primary purpose of controlling
emissions and which were not in gener-
al use before 1968.) 3) We have performed all emission control
system preparations required by Scion
prior to the sale of the vehicle as set
forth in Scion’s current pre-delivery
service manual.
4) Except as may be provided in Paragraph 5, if this vehicle fails an EPA-approved
emissions test within three months or
4,000 miles (whichever comes first) of
delivery to the ultimate purchaser, and
the vehicle has been main tained and
used in accordance with the written
instructions for proper mainte nance
and use, Scion will remedy the noncon-
formity free of charge under the terms
of the Emission Performance Warranty.
5) If vehicle was used as a company car or demonstrator, check box and complete
the following:

tation or warranty that the emission

out defect or that the system will perform
properly. The Emission Performance
Warranty referred to in Paragraph 4 and
