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 Scion dealer performs repairs, confirm the warranty
coverage.

After the required maintenance is performed according to the maintenance
schedule, please reset the maintenance data.
To reset the data, follow the procedures described below:
Switch the display to the trip meter A ( P. 125) when the engine is
running.
To ensure safe and economical driv ing, day-to-day care and regular
maintenance is essential. It is the owner’s responsibility to perform
regular checks. Scion recomme nds 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

Please be aware that do-it-yourself maintenance may affect war-
ranty coverage.
The use of Scion Repair Manuals is recommended.

Failure to follow these precautions could cause the nuts to loosen and
the wheel may fall off, which could lead to an accident causing death
or serious injury.
