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 created 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!This booklet describes the terms of
Scion warranty coverage as well as
general owner responsibilities. The
scheduled maintenance section
describes your vehicle’s
maintenance requirements. Be sure
to look it 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.

Sales, U.S.A., Inc.

THE NEW WORLD OF
ANTI-THEFT
TECHNOLOGY
This Scion vehicle may be equipped
with an electronic “immobilizer”
anti-theft system. When the key is
inserted into the ignition switch it
transmits an electronic code to an
immobilizer computer. The engine will
only start if the code in the key matches
the code in the immobilizer. If the code
does not match, the immobilizer
disables the ignition and fuel systems.
While an exact physical copy of the key
will open the door and allow retrieval of
items locked in the vehicle, it won’t
start the vehicle unless the key has the
same code as the immobilizer.
SECURITY
For security purposes, access to key
codes and service procedures for
electronically registering replacement
keys is restricted. Only an Authorized
Servicing Dealership* or certain
bonded/registered independent
locksmiths can generate replacement
keys.
* For the purposes of this system, an Authorized Servicing Dealership is a Scion dealership or a Toyota dealership.

REPLACING THE KEY
Upon purchase, each vehicle should
have two master keys, one valet key
and an aluminum tag with a key-code
imprinted on it.
To generate a fully functional
replacement key (one that will both
open the doors and start the engine),
one of the master keys is required. To
make a key that will open the door for
retrieval of items locked inside the
vehicle, the valet key or aluminum
key-code tag can be used. If a master
key or the aluminum key-code tag is
not available, an Authorized Servicing
Dealership or certain registered
locksmiths can obtain the key code
from a restricted-access database.
These businesses can also access a
service utility to reprogram the
immobilizer if all registered master
keys have been lost. If an Authorized
Servicing Dealership is not available,
please refer to www.aloa.orgto find a
bonded/registered locksmith who
performs high security key service.
KEEPING THE KEY SAFE
Replacing an immobilizer key may be
costly. It is advisable to keep a spare
master key and the aluminum key-code
tag in a safe place. If you record the
key-code in more than one place, do
not record it in a way that can be easily
identified and associated with the
vehicle. For example, don’t leave the
code somewhere that can be accessed
by a valet. It is wise to keep a copy of
the key-code outside of the vehicle.
If the vehicle was delivered with less
than all three keys and the aluminum
key-code tag, consider having an
Authorized Servicing Dealership or a
qualified independent automotive
locksmith make a duplicate key before
you need it.

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.

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

resolution program administered by the
National Center for Dispute
Settlement. The purpose of this
program is to resolve disputes through

party to hear and resolve a dispute. The
program is informal and free of charge.

California residents: Scion offers you
assistance through an arbitration
program called the California Dispute
Settlement Program (CDSP). A
brochure about the program is found in
your glove box. For additional
information, call Scion Customer
Experience at (866) 70-SCION, or (866)
707-2466. You may also contact the
CDSP directly at (888) 300-6237. Failure
to use the CDSP may affect your rights
and remedies under California’s
“Lemon Laws.”
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. You
may also be required to use the
Dispute Settlement Program or
CDSP before seeking remedies
under the “Lemon Laws” of your
state. Please see the
Owner’s
Warranty Rights Notification
booklet
for the requirements that apply to
your state.
This information about the Dispute
Settlement Programs is correct as of
the date of printing. However, the
programs may be changed without
notice. For the most current
information about the programs, call
