Toyota Extra Care Vehicle Service Agreements enhance the scope
and/or length of coverage of your vehicle’s factory warranty, or provide
protection if the original warranty has expired.
1Toyota Extra Care
provides for the repair or replacement of covered components that
have mechanical failures and protects you from rising repair costs in
the future. In addition, many plans include benefits such as towing,
substitute transportation and travel protection with lodging and meals.
Toyota Extra Care Vehicle Service Agreements are accepted at all
participating Scion and Toyota dealerships in the United States. That
means repairs are made only by factory-trained service technicians
using Scion Authorized Parts.
Toyota Financial Services offers several Toyota Extra Care Vehicle
Service Agreement plans, each with a variety of time and mileage
options.

Determining the Proper Maintenance Interval
Depending on your circumstances, you should obtain maintenance for
your Scion every 5,000 miles or every 7,500 miles. Follow these guide-
lines to determine which interval to use.
5,000-Mile Intervals
Use 5,000-mile intervals if you primarily operate your vehicle under
any of the following conditions:
›Driving on unpaved or dusty roads.
›Using a car-top carrier.
›Repeated trips of less than five miles in temperatures
below freezing.
7,500-Mile Intervals
Use 7,500-mile intervals if you primarily operate your vehicle under
conditions other than those listed above.

ditions noted on the following page, you may need to perform specific
services at 5,000-mile intervals. See the 5,000-mile maintenance
charts for details.
Special Operating Conditions
In addition to standard maintenance items for both 5,000-mile and
7,500-mile intervals, the scheduled maintenance log indicates services
that should be performed on vehicles that are driven under especially
demanding conditions. Specific conditions require specific services, as
indicated on the following page. The scheduled maintenance log indi-
cates at which mileage/time intervals each service should be performed.
You should perform these additional maintenance services if you

Scheduled Maintenance Log 16
›› Following the Charts
The scheduled maintenance log identifies the maintenance required
at each mileage interval and corresponding time interval based on
mileage of 1,250 miles per month. If you drive more than 1,250 miles
per month, you should obtain maintenance at the indicated mileage
interval rather than the indicated time interval.
If you choose 5,000-mile intervals, follow the instructions below the
plum-colored bars, such as this one:
5,000 Miles or 4 Months
If you choose 7,500-mile intervals, follow the instructions below the
blue bars, such as this one:
7,500 Miles or 6 Months
At 15,000-mile increments, the 5,000-mile and 7,500-mile intervals
coincide. Therefore, the colored bars appear together, as in this example:
15,000 Miles or 12 Months
15,000 Miles or 12 Months
Should you be getting maintenance for your Scion every 5,000 miles
or every 7,500 miles? See “Determining the Proper Maintenance
Interval” on page 10.

To help you get started with regular maintenance, Scion provides your
vehicle’s first three oil changes on a complimentary basis. While they
don’t have to be your initial three oil changes, the oil changes must be
obtained within 3 years or 36,000 miles (whichever occurs first) of your
vehicle’s original in-service date. If you bought your Scion used and the
previous owner did not use all three oil changes, you are entitled to the
remaining complimentary oil changes if your car is still within 3 years
or 36,000 miles of its original in-service date.
To obtain a complimentary oil change, call a Scion dealership or partici-
pating Toyota dealership to make an appointment. The dealership will
verify that the service was performed by completing one of the boxes
on the inside back cover of this booklet.
Complimentary oil changes include change of engine oil and oil filter
only. You are responsible for the cost of any other services performed
at the time of your complimentary oil changes, including other mainte-
nance services listed in the scheduled maintenance log.
