fades out immediately.
Side doors are closed when the engine
switch is in the “ACC” or “ON” posi-
tion.
Side doors are closed and locked.
When the driver’s side door is unlocked
using either the key or the wireless re-
mote control function, the interior light will
come on and remain on for about 15 sec-
onds before fading out.

For a single sweep of the windshield,
push the lever up and release it. To squirt washer fluid, pull the lever
toward you.
If the windshield wipers are off, they will
operate a couple of times after the washer
squirts.
For instructions on adding washer fluid,
see “Adding washer fluid” on page 273.
In freezing weather, warm the windshield
with the defroster before using the washer.
This will help prevent the washer fluid
from freezing on your windshield, which
can block your vision.

view mirror defoggers

106
Make sure you turn the defogger off when
the window is clear. Leaving the defogger
on for a long time could cause the battery
to discharge, especially during stop−and−
go driving. The defogger is not designed
for drying rain water or for melting snow.
NOTICE
 To prevent the battery from being
discharged, turn the switch off
when the engine is not running.

Fuel gauge
The gauge works when the engine
switch is on and indicates the approxi-
mate quantity of fuel remaining in the
tank.
Nearly full—Indicator at “F”
Nearly empty—Indicator at “E”
It is a good idea to keep the tank over
1/4 full.If the low fuel level warning light flashes,
fill the fuel tank as soon as possible.
Further fuel reduction makes the light
blink quicker.
If the fuel tank is completely empty, the
malfunction indicator lamp comes on. Fill
the fuel tank immediately.
The indicator lamp goes off after driving
several times. If the indicator lamp does
not go off, contact your Scion dealer as
soon as possible.1. High engine coolant temperature warn-ing light
2. Low engine coolant temperature indica- tor light
The indicator and warning light indi-
cates the engine coolant temperature
when the engine switch is on. The en-
gine operating temperature will vary
with changes in weather and engine
load.
The high engine coolant temperature warn-
ing light will come on when the engine
switch is turned to the “ON” position. After
a few seconds, the light will go off.
Engine coolant temperature
indicator and warning light

109
If your engine coolant temperature is cool
with the engine switch on, the low engine
coolant temperature indicator light comes
on. If it keeps lighting on with the engine
fully warmed, contact your Scion dealer as
soon as possible to service the vehicle.
If the high engine coolant temperature
warning light flashes, the engine is too
hot. If your vehicle overheats, stop your
vehicle and allow the engine to cool.
Your vehicle may overheat during severe
operating conditions, such as:
Driving up a long hill on a hot day.
Reducing speed or stopping after high
speed driving.
Idling for a long period with the air
conditioning on in stop−and− go traffic.
NOTICE
Do not remove the thermostat in
the engine cooling system as this
may cause the engine to overheat.
The thermostat is designed to con-
trol the flow of coolant to keep the
temperature of the engine within
the specified operating range.
 Do not continue driving with an
overheated engine. See “If your
vehicle overheats” on page 213.
Tachometer
The tachometer indicates engine speed
in thousands of rpm (revolutions per
minute). Use it while driving to select
correct shift points and to prevent en-
gine lugging and overrevving.
Driving with the engine running too fast
causes excessive engine wear and poor
fuel economy. Remember, in most cases
the slower the engine speed, the greater
the fuel economy.
NOTICE
Do not let the indicator needle get
into the red zone. This may cause
severe engine damage.

on the multiinformation display when
you push the “MODE” switch (on the
instrument cluster) with the engine
switch turned on.
Each time you push the “MODE”
switch, the display changes to the next
display setting.1. Odometer
2. Two trip meters
3. Instantaneous fuel consumption
4. Average fuel consumption
5. Average vehicle speed
6. Driving range
7. Outside temperature display*
*: For vehicles sold in Canada
Multiinformation display

111
The displayed values in the multi−informa-
tion display indicate general driving condi-
tions. Accuracy varies with driving habits
and road conditions.
When the engine switch is on, the last
previously used mode displayed just be-
fore the engine switch is off will appear.
If the electrical power source has been
disconnected from the multi −information
display, the display will automatically be
set to the initial mode.
When the headlight switch is turned on,
the brightness of the display will be re-
duced.
You can adjust the brightness of the dis-
play. To adjust the brightness, see “Instru-
ment panel light control” on page 102.
CAUTION
Do not operate the switches while the
vehicle is moving. Make sure to oper-
ate the switches when the vehicle is
stopped.
1. Odometer
The total distance the vehicle has been
driven is displayed.
2. Two trip meters
Two different distances are displayed
independently.
You can use one trip meter to calculate
the fuel economy and the other to mea-
sure the distance on each trip. All trip
meter data are cancelled if the electrical
power source is disconnected.
To reset the trip meter A to zero, display
the meter A reading, then push and hold
the knob until the meter is set to zero.
The same process can be applied for re-
setting the trip meter B. 3. Instantaneous fuel consumption (“MPG” or “km/l.”)
The instantaneous fuel consumption is
calculated and displayed based on dis-
tance and fuel consumption with the
engine running.
Note that an accurate figure may not be
shown in the following cases.The vehicle is stopped with the engine
running. (The display will indicate the
extremely high fuel consumption.)
The vehicle is driving down a long
slope, applying the engine brake. (The
display will indicate the extremely low
fuel consumption.)
The calculation is reset when the engine
switch is turned off. 4. Average fuel consumption (“AVG. MPG” or “AVG. km/l.”)
Average fuel consumption is calculated
and displayed based on total driving
distance and total fuel consumption
with the engine running.
Every time you refuel the vehicle, the cal-
culation is reset. 5. Average vehicle speed (“AVG. MPH” or “AVG. km/h.”)
Average vehicle speed is calculated and
displayed based on total driving dis-
tance and total driving time with the
engine running.

11 2
6. Driving range(“RANGE MI” or “km”)
The distance the vehicle can travel with
the remaining fuel is calculated and
displayed based on the quantity of re-
maining fuel and past fuel consumption.
The driving range display indicates the
approximate distance that you can drive
until the fuel gauge reaches “E”. It is
different from the actual distance traveled.
Every time you refuel the vehicle, the cal-
culation is reset. However, when only a
small amount of fuel is added to the tank,
the display may not be reset.
The actual driving range varies with driv-
ing habits and road conditions. If fuel con-
sumption is good, the driving range will be
longer than indicated. If fuel consumption
is poor, the driving range will be shorter
than indicated.
If the low fuel level warning light comes
on, refuel the vehicle even if the display
indicates that the vehicle can be driven
further. 7. Outside temperature display (“
C”)
The temperature range that can be dis-
played is from 40 C to 50 C.
When the outside air temperature falls be-
low 3 C while driving, the temperature dis-
play flashes to indicate that the outside
air temperature is becoming low.
If an abnormality exists in the connection
of the outside air temperature sensor, “—”
will appear on the display. If “—” appears,
contact your Scion dealer.
In the following situations, the correct out-
side temperature may not be displayed, or
the display may take longer than normal
to change.
When stopped, or driving at low
speeds (less than 20 km/h [12 mph])
When the outside temperature has
changed suddenly (at the entrance/exit
of a garage, tunnel, etc.)
