TOYOTA xA 2004 Warranties & Maintenance Guides (in English)

Scheduled Maintenance Guide
2004

ow that you’ve got your Scion on the road, you want to make
sure it keeps going. That’s where scheduled maintenance
comes in. Taking your car in for regular service will help your
ride run better and last longer. It will keep your repair bills down, too.
This booklet makes it easy to keep your Scion running smoothly. The
maintenance log lists all the factory-recommended services and tells
you when your vehicle needs them. You’ll also find information on how
Scion and your dealership can help you with maintenance and repairs.
Be sure to look this booklet over carefully and keep it in your glove box.
Do what it says and your Scion should be happy for many miles to come.
Complimentary Oil Changes
To help you get started with regular maintenance, Scion provides your
vehicle’s first three oil changes on a complimentary basis. To find out
how to obtain your complimentary oil changes, see page 17.
Remember that changing the oil is just one of the maintenance ser-
vices that should be performed regularly on your Scion. Make sure that
all the other services recommended in this booklet are performed on
your car as well.
Put It In Writing
To help you keep track of your Scion’s service history, each mainte-
nance chart in this booklet includes:
›Boxes to check for each service item performed
›Space for the maintenance provider to include a service
verification stamp
›Space to write the date and mileage that service is performed
Documenting your service history may make your car worth more when
you’re ready to sell. There’s a reason smart people write things down.
In addition to scheduled maintenance, your vehicle requires
general maintenance such as fluid checks and visual inspections.
These procedures are explained in the “Vehicle Maintenance and
Care” section of the
Owner’s Manual. To keep your Scion out of
trouble, be sure to perform these procedures regularly.
Scion is a marque of Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc.

Maintenance Records
To make sure your warranty coverage stays intact, you need to maintain
your Scion according to the recommendations in this booklet. You should
keep records of vehicle maintenance, including date and mileage at
time of service and a description of service items performed and parts
installed. The scheduled maintenance log can help you keep track of
this information. If you sell your car, be sure to give your maintenance
records to the new owner.
Scion will not deny a warranty claim solely because you don’t have
records to show that you maintained your vehicle. However, damage or
failures caused by lack of proper maintenance are not covered under
warranty.
Maintenance Providers
You can have maintenance and repair services done by any automotive
service provider you choose, or you can do them yourself. Scion won’t
deny a warranty claim solely because you used a service provider other
than a Scion dealership for maintenance and repairs. However, damage
or failures caused by improper maintenance or repairs are not covered
under warranty.
Note: Only Scion dealerships and Toyota dealerships are authorized to
provide warranty service/repairs for your Scion.
Dealer-Recommended Maintenance
Your dealer may recommend more frequent maintenance intervals or
more maintenance services than those listed in the scheduled mainte-
nance log. You don’t need to have these additional services performed
to maintain your warranty coverage. Ask your dealer to explain any
recommended maintenance that is not included in the scheduled
maintenance log.
For a complete description of Scion warranty coverages, check out
the booklet called
2004 Owner’s Warranty Information. You’ll find it
in your glove box.

›› Scion Dealership Service
It’s nice to know you can count on your ride. When you get in your Scion,
it gets you where you’re going. To make sure that happens every time,
Scion recommends that you go to an authorized Scion dealership when
your car needs service.
Scion dealership technicians are Scion experts. They keep up with the
latest service information through Scion technical bulletins, service
publications and training courses. Many are also factory-certified. That
means they’ve completed state-of-the-art training and passed rigorous
exams through both Scion and the National Institute for Automotive
Service Excellence. In other words, these techs are good. And they
know your car.
You made an investment when you
bought your Scion. You don’t want
to wonder if there’s someone under
the hood who doesn’t know what
he’s doing. Get on the road again
with no worries: Take your car to
an authorized Scion dealership and
you’ll know your ride is in good
hands.

A car is only as good as its parts. That’s why your Scion is exceptional.
Every part is designed to fit perfectly, work like it should and last an
amazingly long time. If your car needs work, you want to make sure the
parts that are used are just as good as the rest of the vehicle. That’s
why Scion recommends using only Scion Authorized Parts* for mainte-
nance and repairs.
Like all Scion products, Scion Authorized Parts are built to the highest
standards of quality and performance. And you’ll never get cookie-
cutter look-alikes; these are parts designed to fit
yourcar. So you can
be sure they’ll maintain the quality, reliability and value of your Scion.
Scion Authorized Parts are also backed by the security of a Scion war-
ranty. When installed by a Scion dealership, all Scion Authorized Parts
(with the exception of batteries) are warranted for 12 months from date
of installation, regardless of mileage, or the remainder of the New
Vehicle Limited Warranty, whichever provides greater coverage. Non-
Scion Authorized Parts — and any damage or failures resulting from
their use — are not covered by any Scion warranty.
Your Scion dealership maintains an extensive inventory of parts to help
you get back on the road quickly. And even if they don’t have the part
you need in stock, you don’t have to worry about being without your
ride for long. That’s because Scion dealerships are linked electronically
to Scion’s Parts Distribution Centers, so they have quick access to any
part you may need.
Top quality, great warranty, factory-back inventory — why trust your
ride to anything else? Stick with Scion Authorized Parts.

›› Collision Repair Parts
You don’t like to think about getting in a wreck, but if it happens, there
are a few things you should know. Some repair shops and insurance
companies may suggest using imitation or used salvage parts to save
money. However, these parts don’t meet Scion’s high standards for
quality, fit and corrosion resistance. Plus, imitation and used salvage
parts are not covered by any Scion warranty.
To protect your vehicle’s appearance, performance and safety, Scion
recommends using only Scion Authorized Parts for collision repairs.
It is especially important to use Scion Authorized Parts for the repair
of Supplemental Restraint Systems (also known as air bags).
Scion believes you have the right to choose the types of parts used
in the repair of your vehicle. That’s why Scion supports full disclosure
by repair shops and insurance companies regarding parts used for
collision repairs. The following information is provided to help you
understand the different types of parts that could be used to repair
your vehicle.
Types of Collision Repair Parts
“Collision repair parts” or “replacement crash parts” are the parts typ-
ically replaced during the repair of a vehicle that has been damaged in
a collision. These parts include exterior sheet metal such as fenders,
hoods, doors and related components, as well as plastic components
such as bumper covers and lamp assemblies. These are the basic
types of collision repair parts:
New original-equipment manufacturer (OEM): Parts that are made
by the vehicle manufacturer or one of its licensees and distributed
through its normal channels. These parts keep the vehicle manufac-
turer’s warranty coverage intact.
Aftermarket or imitation: Parts that are made by companies other
than the vehicle manufacturer or its licensees.

Recycled or used salvage:Used parts and assemblies that have been
removed from another vehicle. There are no systems in place to regu-
late the quality or safety of these parts.
Remanufactured: Parts that have been returned to like-new condition
through repair, refurbishing or rebuilding.
Warranty Coverage
Warranties for collision repair parts are provided by the manufacturer
or distributor of the parts. Warranty coverage varies. Your insurance
company or collision repair facility should provide you with written
warranty statements for all parts used in the repair of your vehicle.
Scion warranty coverage remains intact only when vehicle repairs
are completed with Scion Authorized Parts. Scion warranties do
not cover imitation or used salvage parts or any damage or failures
caused by the use of such parts.

›› Lifetime Guarantee Replacement Parts
Scion believes in its products. That confidence is backed by outstanding
warranty coverage — including a lifetime guarantee on replacement
mufflers, exhaust pipes, shock absorbers, struts and strut cartridges.
When purchased at and installed by a Scion dealership, these Scion
Authorized Parts are guaranteed to the original purchaser for the life
of the vehicle. This includes coverage for parts
andlabor.
Compare the guarantees offered on these parts by aftermarket repair
facilities; you’ll find that many shops don’t offer the extensive coverage
Scion does. And remember that only Scion Authorized Parts are built to
fit your Scion perfectly. So don’t compromise: When replacement time
comes, count on your Scion dealership for the peace of mind that comes
with a factory-backed lifetime guarantee.
For complete details of the Scion Lifetime Guarantee, see an authorized Scion dealership.

Now that your Scion is on the street,
it’s time to get personal. That means
making your car a reflection of your
life and your style. Whether you go
mild or wild, be sure to accessorize
without sacrificing quality, perfor-
mance or safety. You can do it with
Scion Authorized Accessories.*
Scion offers dozens of accessory
products to help you make your vehi-
cle truly your own. Many are produced
in conjunction with cutting-edge suppliers such as OBX Racing Sports
and Bazooka Mobile Audio. All are designed to ensure exceptional
quality, precise fit to your Scion and performance you can count on.
Aftermarket accessories can’t always make that claim.
The quality of Scion Authorized Accessories is also backed by the integri-
ty of a Scion warranty. If an accessory is installed during the New Vehicle
Limited Warranty period (36 months/36,000 miles), coverage is for the
remainder of that period. Otherwise, coverage is for 12 months from
date of purchase, regardless of mileage. Keep in mind that installing
non-Scion Authorized Accessories may affect your vehicle’s warranty
coverage. In addition, some aftermarket equipment may not be street-
legal in all states and could affect your vehicle’s performance or safety.
Make your Scion what you
want it to be, but make it
that way with no worries.
Choose Scion Authorized
Accessories, available exclu-
sively from and installed by
your Scion dealership.
