Uniform tire quality grading This information has been prepared in ac- cordance with regulations issued by the National Highway Traffic Safety Adminis- tration of the U.S. Department of Trans- portation. It provides the purchasers and/ or prospective purchasers of Toyota vehicles with information on uniform tire quality grading. Your Toyota dealer will help answer any questions you may have as you read this information. DOT quality grades—All passenger car tires must conform to Federal Safety Requirements these grades. Quality grades can be found where applicable on the tire side wall between tread shoulder and maximum section width. For example: Treadwear 200 Traction AA Temperature A
in addition
to
from
treadwear grade
Treadwear—The
is a
comparative rating based on the wear rate
of the tire when tested under controlled
conditions on a specified government test
course. For example, a tire graded 150
would wear one and a half (1−1/2) times
as well on the government course as a
tire graded 100. The relative performance
of tires depends upon the actual condi-
tions of their use, however, and may de-
part significantly
the norm due to
variations in driving habits, service prac-
tices and differences in road characteris-
tics and climate.
Traction AA, A, B, C—The
traction
grades, from highest to lowest, are AA, A,
B, and C, and they represent the tire’s
ability to stop on wet pavement as mea-
sured under controlled conditions on spe-
cified government test surfaces of asphalt
and concrete. A tire marked C may have
poor traction performance.
Warning: The traction grade assigned to

is based on braking (straight
ahead) traction tests and does not include

tire
’03 Corolla U (L/O 0201)
Temperature A, B, C—The temperature grades are A (the highest), B, and C, representing the tire’s resistance to the generation of heat and its ability to dissi- pate heat when tested under controlled conditions on a specified indoor laboratory test wheel. Sustained high temperature can cause the material of the tire to de- generate and reduce tire life, and exces- sive temperature can lead to sudden tire failure. The grade C corresponds to a lev- el of performance which all passenger car tires must meet under the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No.109. Grades B and A represent higher levels of perfor- mance on the laboratory test wheel than the minimum required by law. Warning: The temperature grades for this tire are established for a tire that is prop- erly inflated and not overloaded. Exces- sive speed, underinflation, or excessive loading, either separately or in combina- tion, can cause heat buildup and possible tire failure.

Satisfaction Down the Road
t Toyota, our top priority is always our customers. We know your Toyota is an important part of your life and something you depend on every day. That’s why we’re dedicated to building
products of the highest quality and reliability.
Our excellent warranty coverage is evidence that we stand behind the quality of our vehicles. We’re confident — as you should be — that your Toyota will provide you with many years of enjoyable driving.
To further demonstrate our commitment to our customers’ satisfaction, occasionally we may establish a special policy adjustment to pay for spe- cific repairs that are no longer covered by warranty. When we establish such a policy adjustment, we mail details to all applicable owners we have on record. That’s why it’s important to send in the card at the back of this booklet if you change your address or if you’ve purchased this vehicle from a previous owner.
To provide you with added protection against unexpected service costs, we offer Toyota Extra Care vehicle service agreements and Toyota Auto Care pre-paid maintenance programs. Both offer plans to meet a wide
Introduction
variety of needs. Your dealership can help you select the plan that’s best for you.
Our goal is for every Toyota customer to enjoy outstanding quality, dependability and peace of mind throughout their ownership experi- ence. We want you to be a satisfied member of the Toyota family for many miles to come.
This booklet describes the terms of Toyota warranty coverage as well as general owner responsibilities. A separate publication found in your glove box, the Scheduled Maintenance Guide, describes your vehicle’s maintenance requirements. Be sure to review this publication carefully, since proper maintenance is required to ensure that warranty coverage remains intact.
All information in this booklet is the latest available at the time of pub- lication and, with the exception of the emission control warranties, is subject to change without notice.
W
e realize that your confidence in the quality and reliability of our products was a key factor in your decision to buy a Toyota. We also know how disruptive the loss of transportation can be to your daily routine. That’s why we’re pleased to offer you the benefits of our Transportation Assistance Policy.
Under this policy, you are eligible for transportation assistance if your Toyota must be kept overnight for warranty-covered repairs. The policy applies when your vehicle must be kept overnight for any of the follow- ing reasons: • The warranty repairs will take longer than one day to complete. • The warrantable condition requires extensive diagnosis. • The parts needed for the warranty repairs are not readily available
and your vehicle is inoperative or unsafe to drive.
The policy does not apply when warranty repairs can be completed in one day but the vehicle must be kept overnight due to dealer or owner scheduling conflicts.
Transportation Assistance
The Transportation Assistance Policy applies for the duration of the New Vehicle Limited Warranty. The policy applies to all 2003 model-year Toyotas sold and serviced by authorized Toyota dealerships in the mainland United States and Alaska.
For further details, please consult your Toyota dealer.
Introduction
If You Need Assistance
Both Toyota and your Toyota dealer are dedicated to serving your automotive needs. Your complete satisfaction is our first priority. Should you have a problem or concern — either during or after the warranty period — please take the following steps to ensure the quickest possible response:
Step 1
Discuss the situation with a dealership manager, such as the service
manager or customer relations manager. In most cases, a satisfactory
solution can be reached at this step.
Step 2
If the dealership does not address your concern to your satisfaction,
call the Toyota Customer Assistance Center at (800)331–4331. If you
are hearing- or speech-impaired, call (800)443-4999 (TDD).
Please have the following information ready when you call: • Your Toyota’s vehicle identification number (located on the driver’s side corner of the dashboard, under the window)
• Current mileage on your vehicle • Name of your Toyota dealership A Toyota customer relations representative will assist you in working with the dealership to find a satisfactory solution.
Step 3
If your concern has still not been resolved to your satisfaction, Toyota
offers additional assistance through the Dispute Settlement Program,
a dispute resolution program administered by the National Center for
Dispute Settlement. The purpose of the Dispute Settlement Program
is to resolve disputes through arbitration — a process by which two
parties authorize an independent third party to hear and resolve a dis-
pute. The program is informal and free of charge. To request that your
Introduction
case be reviewed through the program, complete the customer claim form in the Owner's Warranty Rights Notification booklet (found in your glove box) and mail it to:
National Center for Dispute Settlement
P.O. Box 561109
Dallas, TX 75356-1109
If you would like to request a customer claim form, call the Toyota Customer Assistance Center at (800)331-4331. When you call, please have your vehicle identification number, the current mileage on your Toyota and the names of your selling and servicing dealerships.
Important: You must use the Dispute Settlement Program 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 before seeking remedies under the “Lemon Laws” of your state. Please check the appropriate page of the Owner’s Warranty Rights Notification booklet for the requirements applicable to your state.
If You Need Assistance
This information about the Dispute Settlement Program is correct as of the date of printing. However, the program may be changed without notice. For the most current information about the Dispute Settlement Program, call the Toyota Customer Assistance Center at (800)331-4331.

General Warranty Provisions
Who Is the Warrantor The warrantor for these limited warranties is Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc. (“Toyota”), 19001 South Western Avenue, Torrance, California 90509-2991, a California corporation.
When Warranty Begins The warranty period begins on the vehicle’s in-service date, which is the first date the vehicle is either delivered to an ultimate purchaser, leased, or used as a company car or demonstrator.
Which Vehicles Are Covered These warranties apply to all 2003 model-year vehicles registered and normally operated in the United States, U.S. territories and Canada. Warranty coverage is automatically transferred at no cost to subsequent vehicle owners.
Multiple Warranty Conditions This booklet contains warranty terms and conditions that may vary depending on the part covered. A warranty for specific parts or systems, such as the Powertrain Warranty or Emission Performance Warranty, is governed by the coverage set forth in that warranty as well as the General Warranty Provisions.
Repairs Made at No Charge Repairs and adjustments covered by these warranties are made at no charge for parts and labor.
Parts Replacement Any needed parts replacement will be made using new or remanufac- tured parts. The decision whether a part should be repaired or replaced will be made by the servicing Toyota dealership and/or Toyota. Parts scheduled to be replaced as required maintenance are warranted until their first replacement only.

Federal Emission Control Warranty
WHAT IS COVERED AND HOW LONG
Emission Defect Warranty Toyota warrants that your vehicle: • Was designed, built and equipped to conform at the time of sale with
applicable federal emissions standards.
• Is free from defects in materials and workmanship that may cause the
vehicle to fail to meet these standards.
Federal regulations require that this warranty be in effect for two years or 24,000 miles from the vehicle’s in-service date, whichever occurs first. However, under the terms of the Basic Warranty, Toyota provides coverage of three years or 36,000 miles, whichever occurs first. Speci- fic components may have longer coverage under the terms of the Powertrain Warranty. Additionally, components marked “8/80” in the parts list on pages 15–16 have coverage of eight years or 80,000 miles, whichever occurs first.

Your Warranties in Detail
Emission Performance Warranty Some states and localities have established vehicle inspection and main- tenance (I/M) programs to encourage proper vehicle maintenance. If an EPA-approved I/M program is in force in your area, you are eligible for Emission Performance Warranty coverage.
Under the terms of the Emission Performance Warranty and federal regulations, Toyota will make all necessary repairs if both of the following occur: • Your vehicle fails to meet applicable emissions standards as
determined by an EPA-approved emissions test.
• This failure results or will result in some penalty to you — such as a fine or denial of the right to use your vehicle — under local, state or federal law.
This warranty is in effect for two years or 24,000 miles from the vehicle’s in-service date, whichever occurs first. Additionally, components marked “8/80” in the parts list on pages 15–16 have coverage of eight years or 80,000 miles, whichever occurs first.

MAINTENANCE
REPLACEMENT PARTS
You are responsible for performance of the required maintenance indi- cated in the Owner’s Manual and the Scheduled Maintenance Guide. Toyota will not deny a warranty claim solely because you do not have records to show that you maintained your vehicle. However, any failure or noncompliance caused by lack of maintenance is not covered by this warranty.
When maintenance and repairs are paid for by you, these services may be performed by you or by any automotive service provider you choose. Toyota will not deny a warranty claim simply because you used a service provider other than a Toyota dealership for mainte- nance and repairs. However, any failure or non-compliance caused by improper maintenance or repairs is not covered by this warranty.
To ensure optimum performance and maintain the quality built into your vehicle’s emission control systems, Toyota recommends the use of Genuine Toyota 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–Genuine Toyota Parts for maintenance and repairs. However, use of replace- ment parts that are not equivalent in quality to Genuine Toyota Parts may impair the effectiveness of the emission control systems.
If you use replacement parts that have maintenance or replacement schedules different from those of Genuine Toyota 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 equivalent to Genuine Toyota Parts.

Federal Emission Control Warranty
IF YOUR VEHICLE FAILS AN EMISSIONS TEST
IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS
If your vehicle fails an EPA-approved emissions test, you may make a claim under the Emission Performance Warranty. To do so, take your vehicle to an authorized Toyota dealership and present a copy of the emissions test report. Also, take your maintenance records in case they are needed.
If your claim qualifies for coverage, the dealership will repair your vehi- cle within 30 days (unless a shorter period is required by law). If your claim is denied, Toyota 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 a delay is caused by factors beyond the control of Toyota or the dealership.
For information on how to obtain service under the Emission Defect Warranty, see page 29, “Obtaining Warranty Service.”
If you have questions or concerns about your vehicle’s federal emission warranty coverage, please follow the steps described under “If You Need Assistance” on pages 4–5. In the case of the Emission Performance Warranty, you may also request information from or report complaints to:

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, Toyota will repair your vehicle at no cost to you, including diagnosis, parts and labor.
MANUFACTURER’S WARRANTY COVERAGE

will be repaired or replaced by Toyota. This is your SHORT-TERM Emission Control System DEFECT WARRANTY. Covered parts are listed on pages 15–16. Specific components may have longer coverage under the terms of the Powertrain Warranty.
2) For seven years or 70,000 miles, whichever occurs first:*

GENERAL INFORMATION
WHERE TO GO FOR MAINTENANCE
You are responsible for ensuring that your Toyota is operated and main- tained according to the instructions in the Owner’s Manual and the Scheduled Maintenance Guide.
You may have maintenance performed on your vehicle by any qualified person or facility. However, Toyota recommends having maintenance performed by an authorized Toyota dealership.
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 conve- nience, 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.
Toyota will not deny a warranty claim solely because you do not have records to show that you maintained your vehicle. However, damage or failures caused by lack of proper maintenance are not covered under warranty.
Toyota dealership technicians are specially trained to maintain and repair Toyota vehicles. They stay current on the latest service information through Toyota technical bulletins, service publications and training courses. Many are also certified through the Toyota Certification Program, which involves a series of rigorous written examinations. Feel free to ask any Toyota dealership to show you its technicians’ credentials.
You can be confident you’re getting the best possible service for your vehicle when you take it to a Toyota dealership. Plus, a Toyota dealer- ship will always use Genuine Toyota Parts designed specifically for your vehicle.

Operation and Maintenance
REPLACEMENT PARTS
Warranty coverage is not dependent upon the use of any particular brand of replacement parts. However, Toyota recommends using only Genuine Toyota Parts when you need to replace a part on your vehicle. Like all Toyota products, Genuine Toyota Parts are built to the highest standards of quality, durability and performance. They are also designed to fit your vehicle’s exact specifications.
Your Toyota dealership maintains an extensive inventory of Genuine Toyota Parts to meet your vehicle service needs. And because it is linked electronically to Toyota’s Parts Distribution Centers, the dealership has quick access to any parts it may not have in stock.
Genuine Toyota 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–Genuine Toyota Parts, or any damage or failures resulting from their use, are not covered by any Toyota warranty.
