When Driving
■Push Button Start Positions
●The engine starts by pressing the push button start while depressing the
clutch pedal (manual transaxle) or the brake pedal (automatic transaxle). To
switch the ignition position, press the push button start without depressing
the pedal.
● Do not leave the ignition switched ON while the engine is not running. Doing
so could result in the battery going dead. If the ignition is left in ACC (For
automatic transaxle, the selector lever is in the P position, and the ignition is
in ACC), the ignition switches off automatically after about 25 minutes.
■ ACC (Accessory)
The keyless entry system does not function while the push button start has
been pressed to ACC, and the doors will not lock/unlock even if they have
been locked manually.
■ ON
When the push button start is pressed to ON, the sound of the fuel pump
motor operating near the fuel tank can be heard. This does not indicate an
abnormality.
WARNING
■Before leaving the driver’s seat, set the parking brake, make sure the
selector lever is in 1st gear or R (manual transaxle) or in P (automatic
transaxle), and always switch the ignition off
Leaving the driver’s seat without setting the parking brake, shifting the
selector lever to 1st gear or R (manual transaxle) or to P (automatic tran-
saxle), and switching the ignition off is dangerous. Unexpected vehicle
movement could occur which could result in an accident.
In addition, if your intention is to l eave the vehicle for even a short period, it
is important to switch the ignition off, as leaving it in another position will dis-
able some of the vehicle’s security systems and run the battery down.

When Driving
After starting the engine, let it idle for about ten seconds.
●The key must be carried because the key carries an immobilizer chip that
must communicate with the engine controls at short range.
● The engine can be started when the push button start is pressed from off,
ACC, or ON.
● The push button start system functions (function which can start the engine
by only carrying the key) can be deactivated to prevent any possible
adverse effect on a user wearing a pacemaker or other medical device. If
the system is deactivated, you will be unable to start the engine by carrying
the key. Consult your Scion dealer for details. If the push button start system
functions have been deactivated, you can start the engine by following the
procedure indicated when the key battery goes dead.
Refer to Engine Start Function When Key Battery is Dead on P. 145.
● After starting a cold engine, the engine speed increases and a whining
sound from the engine compartment can be heard.
This is for improved exhaust gas purification and does not indicate defect of
the parts.
● Engine-starting is controlled by the spark ignition system.
This system meets all Canadian Interference-Causing Equipment Standard
requirements regulating the impulse elec trical field strength of radio noise.
● Under the following conditions, the KEY warning light (red) flashes after the
push button start is pressed to inform the driver that the push button start
will not switch to ACC even if it is pressed from off.
• The key battery is dead.
• The key is out of operational range.
• The key is placed in areas where it is difficult for the system to detect the
signal ( P. 93).
• A key from another manufacturer similar to the key is in the operational
range.

●Forced engine starting method:
If the KEY warning light (red) illuminates , or the push button start indicator
light (amber) flashes, this could indicate that the engine may not start using
the usual starting method. Have your vehicle inspected at your Scion dealer
as soon as possible. If this occurs, the engine can be force-started. Press
and hold the push button start until the engine starts. Other procedures nec-
essary for starting the engine such as having the key in the cabin, and
depressing the clutch pedal (manual tran saxle) or the brake pedal (auto-
matic transaxle) are required.
● When the engine is force-started, the KEY warning light (red) remains illumi-
nated and the push button start indicator light (amber) remains flashing.
● Automatic transaxle:
When the selector lever is in the neutral (N) position, the KEY indicator light
(green) and the push button start indicator light (green) do not illuminate.
● After pressing the push button start and before the engine starts, the opera-
tion sound of the fuel pump motor from near the fuel tank can be heard,
however, this does not indicate a malfunction.
● Whether the engine is cold or warm, it should be started without the use of
the accelerator.
● If the engine does not start the first time, refer to Starting a Flooded Engine
under Emergency Starting. If the engine still does not start, have your vehi-
cle inspected by your Scion dealer (P. 500).
WARNING
■Radio waves from the key may affect medical devices such as pace-
makers
Before using the key near people who use medical devices, ask the medical
device manufacturer or your physician if radio waves from the key will affect
the device.
NOTICE
If the KEY warning light (red) illuminates, or the push button start indicator
light (amber) flashes, this could indicate a problem with the engine starting
system and the inability to start the engine or switch the ignition to ACC or
ON. Have your vehicle inspected at your Scion dealer as soon as possible.

■Odometer
The odometer records the total distance the vehicle has been
driven.
■Tr i p m e t e r
The trip meter can record the total distance of two trips. One is
recorded in trip meter A, and the other is recorded in trip meter B.
For instance, trip meter A can record the distance from the point of
origin, and trip meter B can record the distance from where the fuel
tank is filled.
When trip meter A is selected, pressing the selector again within
one second will change to trip meter B mode.
When trip meter A is selected, TRIP A will be displayed. When trip
meter B is selected, TR IP B will be displayed.
The trip meter records the total distance the vehicle is driven until
the meter is again reset. Return it to “0.0” by depressing and hold-
ing the selector for one second or more. Use this meter to measure
trip distances and to co mpute fuel consumption.
■Odometer, Trip Meter and Trip Meter Selector
When the ignition is switched to ACC or off, the odometer or trip meters can-
not be displayed, however, pressing the selector can inadvertently switch the
trip meters or reset them during an approximate ten-minute period in the fol-
lowing cases:
● After the ignition is switched to off from ON.
● After the driver’s door is opened.
■ Trip meter
●Vehicles with type B audio:
If the fuel economy data is reset using the fuel economy monitor, or trip A is
reset using the trip meter when the function which synchronizes the fuel
economy monitor and the trip meter is on, the fuel economy data and trip A
are reset simultaneously.
Refer to Fuel Economy Monitor on P. 199.
● Only the trip meters record tenths of miles (kilometers).
● The trip record will be erased when:
• The power supply is interrupted (blown fuse or the battery is discon-
nected).
• The vehicle is driven over 9999.9 mile (km).
