Windshield Wipers and Washer
The ignition must be switched ON to use the wipers.
Because heavy ice and snow can jam the wiper blades, the wiper motor is
protected from motor breakdown, overheating and possible fire by a circuit
breaker. This mechanism will automatically stop operation of the blades, but
only for about 5 minutes.
If this happens, turn off the wiper switch and park off the right-of-way, and
remove the snow and ice.
After 5 minutes, turn on the switch and the blades should operate normally. If
they do not resume functioning, consult your Scion dealer as soon as possi-
ble. Drive to the side of the road and park off the right-of-way. Wait until the
weather clears before trying to drive with the wipers inoperative.
WARNING
■Use only windshield washer fluid or plain water in the reservoir
Using radiator antifreeze as washer fluid is dangerous. If sprayed on the
windshield, it will dirty the windshield, affect your visibility, and could result
in an accident.
■ Only use windshield washer fluid mixed with anti-freeze protection in
freezing weather conditions
Using windshield washer fluid without anti-freeze protection in freezing
weather conditions is dangerous as it could freeze on the windshield and
block your vision which could cause an accident. In addition, make sure the
windshield is sufficiently warmed using the defroster before spraying the
washer fluid.

3-10. Active Safety System
●The Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system will not operate if the driver is
deliberately performing driving operations (accelerator pedal and steering
wheel).
● The Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system will operate under the follow-
ing conditions.
• The engine is running.
• The Smart City Brake Support (SCB S) warning light (amber) does not
illuminate.
• The vehicle speed is between about 2 to 18 mph (4 to 30 km/h).
• The Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system is not turned off.
• The DSC is not malfunctioning.
● The Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) detects a vehicle ahead by emitting a
near-infrared laser beam and receiving the beam reflected off the reflector
of the vehicle ahead, and then using it for the measurement. Consequently,
the Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) may not operate under the following
conditions:
• Reflection of the laser is poor due to the shape of the vehicle ahead.
• The vehicle ahead is significantly dirty.
• Under bad weather condition, such as rain, fog and snow.
• The window washer is being used or the windshield wipers are not used
when it’s raining.
• The windshield is dirty.
• The steering wheel is turned completely left or right, or the vehicle is
accelerated rapidly and comes close to the vehicle ahead.
• Trucks with low loading platforms and vehicles with an extremely low or high profile.
• Vehicles with certain shapes such as a vehicle carrier.
● Under the following conditions, the Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) sys-
tem may not operate normally.
• Heavy luggage is loaded in the luggage compartment or on the rear seat.
• If there is the possibility of partial contact with a vehicle ahead.
• When driving on continuously curving roads, and entering and exiting
exits.
• Elongated luggage or cargo is loaded onto installed roof rails and covers the laser sensor.
• Exhaust gas from the vehicle in front, sand, snow, and water vapor rising
from manholes and grating, and water splashed into the air.
• When towing a malfunctioning vehicle.
• When driving with tires having significantly different wear.

3-10. Active Safety System
WARNING
■Do not rely on the Smart City Br ake Support System (SCBS) as a sub-
stitute for safer driving
The Smart City Brake Support (SCB S) system cannot compensate for
unsafe and reckless driving, excessive speed, tailgating (following another
vehicle too closely), and driving on slippery roads such as wet, snowy, and
icy roads (reduced tire friction and road contact because of water on the
road surface). You can still have an accident.
■ Do not rely completely on the Sm art City Brake Support (SCBS) system
● The Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system is only designed to reduce
damage in the event of a collision. Over reliance on the system leading to
the accelerator pedal or brake pedal being mistakenly operated could
result in an accident.
● The Smart City Brake Support (SCB S) is a system which operates in
response to a vehicle ahead. The system may not be able to detect or
react to two-wheeled vehicles or pedestrians.
● The laser sensor for the Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system is
installed near the rearview mirror. To assure the correct operation of the
Smart City Brake Support (SCBS), heed the following cautions.
• Do not apply stickers to the surface of the windshield near the laser
sensor (including transparent stickers). Otherwise, the laser sensor
may not be able to detect vehicles ahead which could result in an acci-
dent.
• Do not apply coating agent to the windshield. Otherwise, the laser sen- sor may not be able to detect vehicles or obstructions in front which
could result in an accident.
• Do not disassemble the laser sensor.
• If cracks or damage caused by flying gravel or debris is visible near the
laser sensor, stop using the Smart City Brake Support (SCBS) system
immediately and have your vehicle inspected by your Scion dealer. If
the vehicle continues to be driven with cracks or scratch marks left on
the windshield near the laser sensor, the system may operate unneces-
sarily and cause an unexpected accident.
Refer to Stopping The Smart City Br ake Support (SCBS) System Oper-
ation on P. 210.
• When replacing the windshield wipers or windshield, consult your Scion
dealer.
● The laser sensor includes a function for detecting a soiled windshield and
informing the driver, however, depending on the conditions, it may not
detect plastic shopping bags, ice or snow on the windshield. In such
cases, the system cannot accurately determine a vehicle ahead and may
not be able to operate normally. Always drive carefully and pay attention to
the road ahead.

When the wipers no longer clean well, the blades are probably worn
or cracked.
Replace them.Raise the wiper arm and turn
the blade assembly to expose
the plastic locking clip.
Compress the clip and slide the
assembly downward; then lift it
off the arm.
Hold the end of the rubber and
pull until the tabs are free of the
metal support.Metal support
Ta b
Remove the metal stiffeners
from each blade rubber and
install them in the new blade.
Carefully insert the new blade
rubber. Then install the blade
assembly in the reverse order
of removal.
