226 4-1. Maintenance and care
NOTICE
■Cleaning detergents
●Do not use organic substances such as benzene or gasoline, acidic or
alkaline solutions, dye, bleach or other detergent. Doing so may discolor
the vehicle interior or cause streaks or damage to painted surfaces.
●Do not use polish wax or polish cleaner. The instrument panel's or other
interior part’s painted surface may be damaged.
●Do not use a chemical agent containing silicone (highly-polymerized sili-
con compound) when cleaning any of the electrical appliances such as the
air conditioning, all switches and their surrounding areas.
If silicon (highly-polymerized silicon compound) contacts these compo-
nents, it may cause the electrical appliances to malfunction.
■Preventing damage to leather surfaces
Observe the following precautions to avoid damage to and deterioration of
leather surfaces.
●Remove any dust, dirt, sand, oil spots etc. on leather surfaces immedi-
ately.
●Do not expose the vehicle to direct sunlight for extended periods of time.
Park the vehicle in the shade, especially during summer.
●Do not place items made of vinyl, plastic, or that contain wax on the uphol-
stery, as they may stick to the leather surface if the vehicle interior heats
up significantly.
■Water on the floor
Do not wash the vehicle floor with water.
Vehicle systems such as the audio system may be damaged if water comes
into contact with electrical components under the floor of the vehicle, and
may also cause the body to rust.

4-2. Maintenance
Maintenance requirements
■Repair and replacement
It is recommended that genuine Scion parts be used for repair to ensure per-
formance of each system. If non-Scion parts are used in replacement or if a
repair shop other than a Scion dealer performs repairs, confirm the warranty
coverage.
To ensure safe and economical driving, day-to-day care and regular
maintenance is essential. It is the owner’s responsibility to perform
regular checks. Scion recommends the following maintenance.
■General maintenance
Should be performed on a daily basis. This can be done by your-
self or by a Scion dealer.
■Scheduled maintenance
Should be performed at specified intervals according to the
maintenance schedule.
For details about maintenance items and schedules, refer to the
“Scheduled Maintenance Guide” or “Owner’s Manual Supplement”.
■Do-it-yourself maintenance
You can perform some maintenance procedures yourself.
Please be aware that do-it-yourself maintenance may affect war-
ranty coverage.
The use of Scion Repair Manuals is recommended.
For details about warranty coverage, see the separate “Owner’s War-
ranty Information Booklet” or “Owner’s Manual Supplement”.

312 5-2. Steps to take in an emergency
CAUTION
■Maintenance of the tires
Each tire, including the spare (if provided), should be checked monthly
when cold and inflated to the inflation pressure recommended by the
vehicle manufacturer on the vehicle placard or tire inflation pressure
label (tire and load information label). (If your vehicle has tires of a differ-
ent size than the size indicated on the vehicle placard or tire inflation
pressure label [tire and load information label], you should determine the
proper tire inflation pressure for those tires.)
As an added safety feature, your vehicle has been equipped with a tire
pressure monitoring system (TPMS-tire pressure warning system) that
illuminates a low tire pressure telltale (tire pressure warning light) when
one or more of your tires is significantly under-inflated. Accordingly,
when the low tire pressure telltale (tire pressure warning light) illumi-
nates, you should stop and check your tires as soon as possible, and
inflate them to the proper pressure. Driving on a significantly under-
inflated tire causes the tire to overheat and can lead to tire failure.
Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and may
affect the vehicle's handling and stopping ability.
Please note that the TPMS (tire pressure warning system) is not a sub-
stitute for proper tire maintenance, and it is the driver's responsibility to
maintain correct tire pressure, even if under-inflation has not reached the
level to trigger illumination of the TPMS low tire pressure telltale (tire
pressure warning light).
Your vehicle has also been equipped with a TPMS (tire pressure warning
system) malfunction indicator to indicate when the system is not operat-
ing properly. The TPMS (tire pressure warning system) malfunction indi-
cator is combined with the low tire pressure telltale (tire pressure
warning light). When the system detects a malfunction, the telltale will
flash for approximately one minute and then remain continuously illumi-
nated. This sequence will continue upon subsequent vehicle start-ups as
long as the malfunction exists. When the malfunction indicator is illumi-
nated, the system may not be able to detect or signal low tire pressure
as intended.

Vehicle specifications
■Treadwear
The treadwear grade is a comparative rating based on the wear
rate of the tire when tested under controlled conditions on a speci-
fied government test course.
For example, a tire graded 150 would wear one and a half (1 - 1/2)
times as well on the government course as a tire graded 100.
The relative performance of tires depends upon the actual conditions
of their use. Performance may differ significantly from the norm due
to variations in driving habits, service practices and differences in
road characteristics and climate.
■Traction AA, A, B, C
The traction grades, from highest to lowest, are AA, A, B and C,
and they represent the tire’s ability to stop on wet pavement as
measured under controlled conditions on specified government
test surfaces of asphalt and concrete.
A tire marked C may have poor traction performance.
Warning: The traction grade assigned to this tire is based on braking
(straight ahead) traction tests and does not include cornering (turn-
ing) traction.
■Temperature A, B, C
The temperature grades are A (the highest), B, and C, represent-
ing the tire’s resistance to the generation of heat and its ability to
dissipate heat when tested under controlled conditions on a speci-
fied indoor laboratory test wheel.
Sustained high temperature can cause the material of the tire to
degenerate and reduce tire life, and excessive temperature can lead
to sudden tire failure.
Grade C corresponds to a level of performance which all passenger
car tires must meet under the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard
No. 109.
Grades B and A represent higher levels of performance on the labo-
ratory test wheel than the minimum required by law.

■Coussin gonflable SRS
●Les coussins gonflables SRS se déploient à une vitesse et une puissance
considérables. Les occupants qui ne sont pas installés en position
correcte, lorsque le coussin gonflable SRS se déploie, peuvent subir des
blessures très graves. Parce que le coussin gonflable SRS nécessite un
espace suffisant pour se déployer, le conducteur doit toujours se tenir droit
et bien enfoncé dans son siège, aussi éloigné que possible du volant tout
en gardant le contrôle total du véhicule. Le passager avant doit reculer son
siège aussi loin que possible, se tenir droit et bien enfoncé dans son
siège.
●Ne placez aucun objet, ni par-dessus, ni à proximité du capot du coussin
gonflable SRS ou entre vous et le coussin gonflable SRS. Si le coussin
gonflable SRS se déploie, ces objets pourraient empêcher son bon
fonctionnement et être projetés à l’intérieur du véhicule, ce qui peut
entraîner des blessures.

■Coussin gonflable SRS
●N’INSTALLEZ JAMAIS UN SIÈGE DE SÉCURITÉ ENFANT DE TYPE
FACE VERS L’ARRIÈRE DANS LE SIÈGE AVANT. LE FAIRE POURRAIT
CAUSER DES BLESSURES GRAVES VOIRE MORTELLES À L’ENFANT
EN PLAÇANT LA TÊTE DE L’ENFANT TROP PRÈS DU COUSSIN
GONFLABLE SRS.
●N’autorisez jamais un enfant à se tenir debout ou à s’agenouiller dans le
siège passager avant, et ne tenez jamais un enfant sur vos genoux ou
dans vos bras. Le coussin gonflable SRS se déploie avec une force
considérable et peut blesser ou même tuer l’enfant.
●Lorsque le coussin gonflable SRS se déploie, de la fumée se dégage.
Cette fumée peut provoquer des problèmes respiratoires pour les
personnes présentant des antécédents asthmatiques ou d’autres
difficultés respiratoires. Si vous ou vos passagers éprouvez une difficulté à
respirer après le déploiement du coussin gonflable SRS, prenez ou faites-
leur prendre l’air frais rapidement.
●Un coussin gonflable SRS qui se déploie libère un gaz chaud. Les
occupants peuvent se brûler s’ils entrent directement en contact avec le
gaz chaud.

■Précautions avec le coussin gonflable SRS
Respectez les précautions suivantes avec les coussins gonflables SRS.
Autrement, des blessures graves, voire mortelles, pourraient s’ensuivre.
●Le conducteur et tous les passagers à bord du véhicule doivent porter leur
ceinture de sécurité correctement.
Les coussins gonflables SRS sont des dispositifs supplémentaires à
utiliser avec les ceintures de sécurité.
●Le coussin gonflable conducteur SRS se déploie avec une violence
considérable, qui peut être très dangereuse, voire mortelle, si le
conducteur se trouve très près du coussin gonflable.
L’autorité fédérale chargée de la sécurité routière aux États-Unis,
“NHTSA” (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) conseille:
Sachant que la zone de danger pour le coussin gonflable conducteur se
trouve dans les premiers 2 à 3 in. (50 - 75 mm) de déploiement, vous
placer à 10 in. (250 mm) de votre coussin gonflable conducteur vous
garantit une marge de sécurité suffisante. Cette distance est à mesurer
entre l’axe du volant et le sternum. Si vous êtes assis à moins de 10 in.
(250 mm), vous pouvez changer votre position de conduite de plusieurs
façons:
• Reculez votre siège le plus possible, de manière à pouvoir encore
atteindre confortablement les pédales.
• Inclinez légèrement le dossier du siège. Bien que les conceptions des
véhicules varient, la plupart des conducteurs peuvent s’asseoir à une
distance de 10 in. (250 mm), même avec le siège conducteur
complètement avancé, simplement en inclinant un peu le dossier de
siège. Si vous avez des difficultés à voir la route après avoir incliné
votre siège, utilisez un coussin ferme et antidérapant pour vous
rehausser ou, si votre véhicule est équipé du réglage en hauteur du
siège, remontez-le.
• Si votre volant est réglable, inclinez-le vers le bas. Cela a pour effet
d’orienter le coussin gonflable en direction de votre poitrine plutôt que
de votre tête et de votre cou.
Réglez votre siège selon les recommandations de la NHTSA ci-dessus,
tout en conservant le contrôle des pédales, du volant et la vue des
commandes du tableau de bord.
