The California Air Resources Board (CARB) and Scion are
pleased to explain the emission control system warranty for
your 2005 vehicle. In California, new motor vehicles must be
designed, built and equipped to meet the state’s stringent anti-
smog standards. CARB regulations require that Scion must
warrant the emission control system on your vehicle for the
time periods indicated on this page, provided there has been
no abuse, neglect or improper maintenance of your vehicle.
Your emission control system may include parts such as the
fuel injection system, ignition system, catalytic converter and
engine computer. Also included may be hoses, belts, connectors
and other emissions-related assemblies.
Where a warrantable condition exists, Scion will repair your
vehicle at no cost to you, including diagnosis, parts and labor.1) For three years or 50,000 miles, whichever occurs first:
›If your vehicle fails a smog-check test, all necessary
repairs and adjustments will be made by Scion to ensure
that your vehicle passes the test. This is your Emission
Control System Performance Warranty.
›If any emissions-related part on your vehicle is defective,
the part will be repaired or replaced by Scion. This is your
Short-Term Emission Control System Defect Warranty.
Covered parts are listed on pages 15–16. Specific compo-
nents may have longer coverage under the terms of the
Powertrain Warranty.
2) For seven years or 70,000 miles, whichever occurs first:
›If an emissions-related part listed on pages 22—23 is
defective, the part will be repaired or replaced by Scion.
This is your Long-Term Emission Control System Defect
Warranty.

nance indicated in the

receipts covering maintenance 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
maintenance.

Servicing Dealership as soon as a problem exists. The warranty
repairs should be completed in a reasonable amount of time,
not to exceed 30 days.

coverage if your vehicle or a part has failed due to abuse,
neglect, improper maintenance or unapproved modifications.

and responsibilities, you should contact Scion Customer
Experience at (866) 70-SCION, or (866) 707-2466. You may

To ensure optimum performance and maintain the quality built
into your vehicle’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 replacement parts, and you may elect to
use non-Scion Authorized Parts for maintenance and repairs.
However, use of replacement parts that are not equivalent in
quality to Scion Authorized Parts may impair the effective-
ness of the emission control systems.
If you use replacement parts that have maintenance or replace-
ment 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 equiva-
lent to Scion Authorized Parts.If your vehicle fails a smog-check 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 smog-check test report. Also, take your mainte-
nance 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.
For information on how to obtain service under the Emission
Defect Warranty, see page 28, “Obtaining Warranty Service.”

warranted by Goodyear and not Scion. A separate warranty
statement for the tires is in your glove box.
To obtain service for a tire defect, take the tire to an authorized
dealer of the tire manufacturer. (Refer to your local phone
directory for dealer locations.) Your Scion dealer may also
be able to assist you in obtaining warranty service from the
manufacturer.

You are responsible for ensuring that your Scion is operated and
maintained according to the instructions in the
Owner’s Manual
and the Scheduled Maintenance Guide.
You should keep detailed records of vehicle maintenance, since
under some circumstances 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 convenience, 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 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 maintain and repair Scion vehicles. They stay current
on the latest service information through Scion technical bul-
letins, 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.
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 Authorized Parts designed specifically for your vehicle.

Warranty coverage is not dependent upon the use of any partic-
ular brand of replacement 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
performance. 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 driven, contact your nearest
Authorized Servicing Dealership for towing assistance. You do
not have to pay for towing to the nearest Authorized Servicing
Dealership if your vehicle is inoperable due to failure of a war-
ranted part.
Outside the United States, U.S. Territories
and Canada
If you are using your vehicle outside the United States, U.S. ter-
ritories 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 distribu-
tor may have no obligation to provide warranty service for your
vehicle, and/or your vehicle may not comply with local regula-
tory or environmental requirements.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 yourself or have them
performed by another automotive service provider. Scion will
reimburse you for any of the repairs that are covered by war-
ranty. To receive reimbursement, 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.
