■ When the steering lock cannot be released
■ Steering lock motor overheating prevention
To prevent the steering lock motor from overheating, the motor may be sus-
pended if the EV system is turned on and off repeatedly in a short period of
time. In this case, refrain from operating the EV system. After about 10 sec-
onds, the steering lock motor will resume functioning.

■Operation of the power switch
●When operating the power switch, one short, firm press is enough. If the
switch is pressed improperly, the EV system may not start or the power
switch mode may not change. It is not necessary to press and hold the
switch.
● If attempting to restart the EV system immediately after turning the power
switch off, the EV system may not start in some cases. After turning the
power switch off, please wait a few seconds before restarting the EV sys-
tem.
■ If the smart key system has been deactivated in a customized setting
P. 384
CAUTION
■When starting the EV system
Always start the EV system while sitting in the driver’s seat. Do not depress
the accelerator pedal while starting the EV system under any circum-
stances.
Doing so may cause an accident resulting in death or serious injury.
■ Caution while driving
If EV system failure occurs while the vehicle is moving, do not lock or open
the doors until the vehicle reaches a safe and complete stop. Activation of
the steering lock in this circumstance may lead to an accident, resulting in
death or serious injury.
■ Stopping the EV system in an emergency
If you want to stop the EV system in an emergency while driving the vehicle,
press and hold the power switch for more than 2 seconds, or press it briefly
3 times or more in succession. ( P. 329)
However, do not touch the power switch while driving except in an emer-
gency. Turning the EV system off while driving will not cause loss of steering
or braking control, but the power assist to these systems will be lost. This
will make it more difficult to steer and brake, so you should pull over and
stop the vehicle as soon as it is safe to do so.

electric fan may spin and an operating noise may be heard. However, this
does not indicate a malfunction.
● The Remote Climate Control may stop operating temporarily if other fea-
tures that use electricity (for example, the seat heater, lights, windshield wip-
ers) are in operation or if the charge level of the 12-volt battery becomes
low.

2487-1. Maintenance and care
Cleaning and protecting the vehicle
exterior
● Working from top to bottom, liber ally apply water to the vehicle
body, wheel wells and underside of the vehicle to remove any dirt
and dust.
● Wash the vehicle body using a sponge or soft cloth, such as a car
wash mitt.
● For hard-to-remove marks, use car wash soap and rinse thoroughly
with water.
● Wipe away any water.
● Wax the vehicle when the wate rproof coating deteriorates.
If water does not bead on a clean surface, apply wax when the vehicle
body is cool.
■Before car washes
Check that the charging inlet caps and recharge inlet door on your vehicle are
closed properly.
■ Automatic car washes
●Fold the mirrors and remove the antenna before washing the vehicle. Start
washing from the front of the vehicle. Make sure to re-install the antenna
and extend the mirrors before driving.
● Brushes used in automatic car washes may scratch the vehicle surface and
harm your vehicle’s paint.
■ High pressure car washes
Do not allow the nozzles of the car wash to come within close proximity of the
windows.
■ When using a car wash
If the door handle becomes wet while the electronic key is within the ef\
fective
range, the door may lock and unlock repeatedly. Place the key in a position 6
ft. (2 m) or more separate from the vehicle while the vehicle is being washed.
(Take care to ensure that the key is not stolen.)
Perform the following to protect the vehicle and maintain it in
prime condition:

2827-3. Do-it-yourself maintenance
■After recharging/reconnecting the 12-volt battery
●Unlocking the doors using the smart key system may not be possible imme-
diately after reconnecting the 12-volt battery. If this happens, use the wire-
less remote control or the mechanical key to lock/unlock the doors.
● Start the EV system with the power switch in ACCESSORY mode. The EV
system may not start with the power switch turned off. However, the EV sys-
tem will operate normally from the second attempt.
● The power switch mode is recorded by the vehicle. If the 12-volt battery is
reconnected, the vehicle will return the power switch mode to the status it
was in before the 12-volt battery was disconnected. Make sure to turn the
power switch off before disconnect the 12-volt battery. Take extra care when
connecting the 12-volt battery if the power switch mode prior to discharge is
unknown.
If the system will not start even after multiple attempts at all methods above,
contact your Scion dealer.
CAUTION
■ Chemicals in the 12-volt battery
The 12-volt battery contains poisonous and corrosive sulfuric acid and may
produce hydrogen gas which is flammable and explosive. To reduce the risk
of death or serious injury, take the following precautions while working on or
near the 12-volt battery:
● Do not cause sparks by touching the 12-volt battery terminals with tools.
● Do not smoke or light a match near the 12-volt battery.
● Avoid contact with eyes, skin and clothes.
● Never inhale or swallow electrolyte.
● Wear protective safety glasses when working near the 12-volt battery.
● Keep children away from the 12-volt battery.
■ Where to safely charge the 12-volt battery
Always charge the 12-volt battery in an open area. Do not charge the
12-volt battery in a garage or closed room where there is insufficient ventila-
tion.
■ How to recharge th e 12-volt battery
Only perform a slow charge (5 A or less). The 12-volt battery may explode if
charged at a quicker rate.
