2 Toyota Relax Warranty
2.1 Principles/Introduction
2.1.1 Relax applies any time after the expiry of the Manufacturer Warranty, or Approved Used Warranty, or New Vehicle Extended Warranty at no extra cost and regardless of any change of vehicle ownership subject to these Terms and Conditions.
2.1.2 Following the expiry of any valid warranty stated in 2.1.1, the Relax warranty will be automatically activated on completion of a major maintenance in accordance with the manufacturer’s specifications described in the Service & Warranty Booklet, at any Authorised Toyota Repairer ("Service"). Please ensure that Authorised Toyota Repairer completes the Service & Warranty booklet and that you keep all service receipts as proof of servicing.
2.1.3 With Relax you gain a new warranty cover limited until your next service is due (“Coverage Period”). In most of Toyota and Lexus of 12-months and 15.000 km (whichever comes first) but it may vary depending on vehicle and motorisation. Details for your vehicle can be obtained in the Service & Warranty Booklet.
2.1.4 One Service is sufficient to activate Toyota Relax Warranty. Even if you do not contact your Authorised Toyota Repairer within the Coverage Period (e.g., for other operations), Relax will remain in effect.
2.1.5 Further information:
a) During or after the Relax period you are free to visit non-Authorised Toyota Repairers, this has no consequences on the validity of your Relax warranty (except in the cases described in 2.3.2)
b) When Relax expires and there is no immediate new maintenance with a Authorised Toyota Repairer, this does not disqualify you for future coverage (as Relax does not require continuous service contact with Authorised Toyota Repairer). You are always and at any time eligible for Relax until the 10 years after the vehicle first registration or until the vehicle have reached 185,000km (whichever comes first) limit is reached.
c) Where Toyota Relax Warranty has expired or where a vehicle exceeded its recommended service, Toyota Relax Warranty will begin 30 days from the date the scheduled service has been completed.
2.2 Eligibility Criteria
2.2.1 You are eligible to receive Relax until 10 years after the vehicle first registration or until the vehicle have reached 185,000 km (whichever comes first).
2.2.2 Vehicles with altered mileage based on data receive from Toyota Europe are not eligible.
