What are the guidelines for the California Emissions warranty?
In California and any other state that adopts California emission warranty provisions, such warranty coverage is applicable for 3 years/50,000 miles from date of first use, and specific control devices are covered for 7 years/70,000 miles from date of first use. Toyota has added a special enhancement to this coverage for certain 1996 through 1998 model year vehicles originally sold and registered in the state of California or Massachusetts and covered by the California Emission Control Warranty.
This enhanced coverage on the Evaporative Control System is extended to the components specified below for a period of 14 years or 150,000 miles from date of first use, whichever occurs first, from the vehicle's in-service date. Please note that, depending on the design of the evaporative control system in each model, one or more of the specified components may not apply to your vehicle.
This warranty enhancement is limited to specific vehicles and is subject to the same conditions set forth in the California Emission Control Warranty section of your Owner's Manual Supplement, with the exception of the additional parts and extended coverage period. This coverage is for warranty work performed at an authorized Toyota dealership only.
