When driving
■
Daytime running light system
●Vehicles with an automatic transmission: To make your vehicle more visi-
ble to other drivers, the headlights turn on automatically (at a reduced
intensity) whenever the engine is started, the shift lever is shifted out of P
and the parking brake is released. Daytime running lights are not
designed for use at night.
● Vehicles with a manual transmission: To make your vehicle more visible
to other drivers, the headlights turn on automatically (at a reduced inten-
sity) whenever the engine is started and the parking brake is released.
Daytime running lights are not designed for use at night.
● Compared to turning on the headlights, the daytime running light system
offers greater durability and consumes less electricity, so it can help
improve fuel economy.
■ Light reminder buzzer
A buzzer sounds when the engine switch is turned to “LOCK” position and
the driver's door is opened with the key removed from the engine switch
while the lights are turned on.
NOTICE
■To prevent battery discharge
Do not leave the lights on longer than necessary when the engine is not run-
ning.

The windshield wipers and washer can be operated when
The engine switch is in the “ON” position.
■ If no windshield washer fluid sprays
Check that the washer nozzles are not blocked if there is washer fluid in the
windshield washer fluid reservoir.
CAUTION
■Caution regarding the use of washer fluid
When it is cold, do not use the washer fluid until the windshield becomes
warm. The fluid may freeze on the windshield and cause low visibility. This
may lead to an accident, resulting in death or serious injury.

tion
The wipers will automatically
operate a couple of times after
the washer squirts.

In this case, contact your Scion dealer.

Maintenance and care
NOTICE
■
Cleaning the exterior lights
●Wash carefully. Do not use organic substances or scrub with a hard brush.
This may damage the surfaces of the lights.
● Do not apply wax on the surfaces of the lights.
Wax may cause damage to the lenses.
■ Antenna installation and removal precautions
●Before driving, ensure that the antenna is installed.
● When the antenna is removed, such as before entering an automatic car
wash, make sure to store it in a suitable place so as not to lose it. Also,
before driving, make sure to reinstall the antenna in its original position.
■ To prevent damage to the windshield wiper arms
When lifting the wiper arms away from the windshield, pull the driver side
wiper arm upward first, and repeat for the passenger side. When returning
the wipers to their original position, do so from the passenger side first.
■ To prevent damage to the antenna
Remove the antenna in the following situations:
●When the antenna will touch the ceiling of a garage or other such places
● When a car cover is to be used to cover the vehicle
● When using an automatic car wash
