Warranty Begins 

The warranty period begins on the date the vehicle is first delivered or put into use (in-service date).

Basic Coverage Period:

Toyota warrants that it will either repair or replace any part of the new Toyota vehicle that is defective in material or workmanship under normal use except those items listed under "What in Not Covered" for a period of 36 months or 100,000 kilometers, whichever comes first. Warranty Coverage is fully transferable to subsequent vehicle owner.

Exceptions: The following items specified below are covered for periods other than the Basic Coverage.

Battery:

The original equipment battery warranty coverage is for 36 months or 100,000 kilometers, whichever comes first.
During the first 24 months of service (up to 100,000 km), a defective original equipment battery will be replaced free of charge.
Should the battery fail after 24 months of service, but before the 37 month of service (up to 100,000 km), it will be replaced under warranty at a 50% charge to the customer.

Surface Rust and Paint Defect: 

Surface rust and paint defect appearing on deck panels of pickup truck is covered for 12 months or 20,000 kilometers, whichever comes first. Surface rust and paint defect on other than truck deck panels is covered under the Basic Coverage. 

Towing:

When your vehicle is inoperative due to a warranted part failure, towing service is covered to the nearest authorized dealership.

Tires:

Tires are warranted under a separate warranty provided by the tire manufacturer.

No Charge

Warranty repairs (parts and/or labor) will be made at no charge.

Warranty Application 

This warranty is valid only within the country where the Toyota Distributor listed on Warranty Registration is located

Where to Go for Warranty Service

Your Toyota dealer will make the necessary re­pairs using new or remanufactured parts. While any Toyota dealer in this country will perform warranty service, Toyota recommends that you return to the dealership that sold you your vehi­cle because of their continued and personal inter­ests in you.

Touring/Relocation to another Country

If you are touring or relocate to another coun­try and a problem arises, please consult a local Toyota dealer.
Please note, however, that warranty service may not be provided by the local dealer, because your Toyota vehicle may not comply with the regula­tory and/or environmental requirements of such country.

Customer Satisfaction

At Toyota we are proud of our total commitment to quality design, workmanship, and customer satisfaction. Every Toyota dealership in this coun­try has the tools, equipment, and training needed to service and repair your Toyota vehicle.

Information Needed

In the event a problem arises, please be prepared with the following information:

• An accurate description of the problem includ­ing the conditions under which it occurs
• Vehicle model and year
• Vehicle identification number (VIN)
• Present mileage
• Date of purchase
• Selling and servicing dealer

For the fastest possible response, we suggest you follow the procedures outlined below in the sequence listed.

Step 1: Talk to Your Toyota Dealer

This is the most direct way to resolve your prob­lems. Every Toyota dealer in this country is ulti­mately responsible for providing the service and repairs you may need.
First, talk to the dealer service manager or to the customer relations staff. Explain the condition fully. If you feel that your problem has not been resolved, speak with the dealership's owner who is most interested in your continued satisfaction and patronage.
If your Toyota Dealer is unable to provide a solu­tion.

Step 2:  Contact Your Distributor

Contact the Service Department of the Toyota Dis­tributor listed on Warranty Registration.

Obtaining Warranty Service

You are responsible for delivering your vehicle to any authorized Toyota dealer in this country in or­der to obtain warranty service.

Maintenance

You are responsible for properly operating, main­taining, and caring for your Toyota vehicle in ac­cordance with the instructions contained in your Owner's Manual.
If your vehicle is subject to use under severe driv­ing conditions, you should follow the mainte­nance requirements specified accordingly in your Owner's Manual.

Maintenance Records

You are responsible for keeping maintenance re­cords since it may be necessary in some instanc­es for you to show that the required maintenance has been performed.

In order to help protect your vehicle against corrosion, it is important that you care for your vehicle regularly, following these suggestions:

• Wash regularly using cold clean water and mild vehicle wash soap.
• If insects, tar, or other similar deposits have ac­cumulated on your vehicle, wash it as soon as possible.
• Wash your vehicle in the shade.

Under certain conditions, special care should be taken to protect your Toyota vehicle against cor­rosion.

• If you drive on salted or dust controlled roads, or if you drive near the ocean, hose off the un­der carriage at least once a month.
• It is important that the drain holes in the lower edges of the doors and rocker panels be kept clear.
• If you detect any stone chips or scratches in the paint, touch them up immediately.
• If you do much driving on gravel roads, consid­er installing mud or stone shields behind each wheel.
• If you carry special cargo, such as chemicals, fertilizers, deicer salt, etc., be sure that such materials are well packaged and sealed.
• If your Toyota vehicle is damaged due to an accident or similar cause which destroys the paint and protective coating, have your vehicle repaired as soon as possible. The cost of such repairs is considered the responsibility of the owner.
