For your information
Please note that this manual applies to all models and explains all equipment,
including options. Therefore, you may find some explanations for equipment
not installed on your vehicle.
All specifications provided in this manual are current at the time of printing.
However, because of the Scion policy of continual product improvement, we
reserve the right to make changes at any time without notice.
Depending on specifications, the vehicle shown in the illustrations may differ
from your vehicle in terms of equipment.
A wide variety of non-genuine spare parts and accessories for Scion vehicles
are currently available on the market. You should know that Toyota does not
warrant these products and is not responsible for their performance, repair, or
replacement, or for any damage they may cause to, or adverse effect they
may have on, your Scion vehicle.
This vehicle should not be modified with non-genuine Scion products. Modifi-
cation with non-genuine Scion products could affect its performance, safety
or durability, and may even violate governmental regulations. In addition,
damage or performance problems resulting from the modification may not be
covered under warranty.
The installation of a mobile two-way radio system in your vehicle could affect
electronic systems such as:
● Anti-lock brake system
● SRS airbag system
● Seat belt pretensioner system
Be sure to check with your Scion dealer for precautionary measures or spe-
cial instructions regarding installation of a mobile two-way radio system.
High voltage parts and cables on the electric vehicles emit approximately the
same amount of electromagnetic waves as internal combustion engine vehi-
cles or home electronic appliances despite of their electromagnetic shielding.
Unwanted noise may occur in the reception of the mobile two-way radio.

742-1. Electric vehicle
Electric vehicles do not emit engine sounds. To warn pedestrians,
people riding bicycles or other peop le, and vehicles in the surrounding
area that the vehicle is approaching , a sound is intentionally produced
while driving. The pitch of the s ound adjusts according to vehicle
speed. When vehicle speed is approximately 16 mph (25 km/h) or
more, the warning system turns off.
The estimated driving range
based on the amount of remaining
battery charge can be displayed.

■Driving Range
■ Sound and vibrations speci fic to an electric vehicle
Because an electric vehicle does not have the engine sound or vibrations that
a conventional vehicle has, the driver may not notice that the “READY” indi-
cator is illuminated and the vehicle can be driven. For safety reasons, always
shift the shift lever to P and apply the parking brake when the vehicle is
parked.
Before and after the EV system is started, the following sounds and vibrations
may occur.
However, these sounds and/or vibrations are not signs of malfunctions:
● The brake system operation sound heard from the front of the vehicle when
the driver’s door is opened.
● Motor sounds coming from the motor compartment.
● Electrical relay sounds may be heard from the motor compartment when the
EV system starts or stops.
● Relay operating sounds such as a snap or soft clank will be emitted from the
traction battery in the following situations:
• When the EV system is started or stopped
• When charging starts or finishes
• When the vehicle is driven the first time after the traction battery has been
charged using quick charge
● Operating sounds or motor sounds that occur when the brake pedal is oper-
ated.
● Cooling fan operating sounds from the radiator and/or traction battery.
● The operation sound of the air conditioning system (air conditioning com-
pressor, blower motor).
An estimated possible driving range,
which is calculated from traction battery’s
remaining charge, the air conditioning
operating mode and so forth, is shown on
the multi-information display.
However, the actual possible driving
range significantly varies depending on
the driving manner, weather and usage of
electrical components.
Use the estimated possible driving range
as a reference only, and try to keep the
battery as charged as possible.

CAUTION
●Carefully inspect the ground under the vehicle. If leaked liquid (other than
water from the air conditioning) is found on the ground, the traction battery
may have been damaged. Leave the vehicle as soon as possible.
In addition, inform your Scion dealer about the leakage found on the
ground when contacting them.
■ Traction battery (lithium-ion ba ttery) replacement and disposal
● Do not replace, dispose of, modify, or reuse the traction battery and do not
use it for anything other than its intended use. Contact your Scion dealer
for replacement or disposal.
If the traction battery is replaced, disposed of, modify or reused in an
improper way, or if the traction battery is used in a way it is not intended
for, there is a risk of severe burns and electrical shock that may result in
death or serious injury.
Also, improper handling of the traction battery can lead to environmental
hazards.
● If your vehicle is disposed of without the traction battery having been
removed, there is a danger of serious electric shock if high voltage parts,
cables and their connectors are touched. In the event that your vehicle
must be disposed of, the traction battery must be disposed of by your
Scion dealer or a qualified service shop. If the traction battery is not dis-
posed of properly, it may cause electric shock that can result in death or
serious injury.
■ Caution while driving
An electric vehicle does not have the engine sounds like a conventional
vehicle has. Therefore, people in th e surrounding area may not notice the
vehicle start or approach. Since people may not notice the vehicle
approaching when the surrounding area noises and so forth are loud, even
with the vehicle proximity notification system operating, take extra care
when operating.

962-3. Driving the EV (Electric Vehicle)
The chart shown above is for explaining the energy consumption differ-
ence between electric vehicles and gasoline engine vehicles.
Gasoline engine vehicles achieve the best fuel efficiency while they are
driven at a speed of approximately 43 mph (70 km/h). However, electric
vehicles obtain the best energy efficiency while being driven at speeds
between approximately 12 to 25 mph (20 to 40 km/h).
For electric vehicles, the faster the speed, the more power is consumed,
and the driving range decreases. If driven at a speed of approximately
62 mph (100 km/h), compared to approximately 25 mph (40 km/h), the
vehicle’s energy efficiency drops by approximately 40%. For instance,
an electric vehicle can achieve a driving range of approximately 62
miles (100 km) with a constant vehicle speed of 25 mph (40 km/h), how-
ever, driving at 62 mph (100 km/h) will reduce such a driving range to
approximately 32 miles (60 km).
● Control your speed and keep at a constant speed. Also, before
stopping at a toll booth or similar, allow plenty of time to release
the accelerator and gently apply the brakes. A greater amount of
electrical energy can be retained when slowing down.

Driving
CAUTION
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
■When driving the vehicle
● Do not drive if you are unfamiliar with the location of the brake and ac\
cel-
erator pedals to avoid depressing the wrong pedal.
• Accidentally depressing the accelerator pedal instead of the brake
pedal will result in sudden acceleration that may lead to an accident.
• When backing up, you may twist your body around, leading to a diffi- culty in operating the pedals. Make sure to operate the pedals properly.
• Make sure to keep a correct driving posture even when moving the vehicle only slightly. This allows you to depress the brake and accelera-
tor pedals properly.
• Depress the brake pedal using your right foot. Depressing the brake pedal using your left foot may delay response in an emergency, result-
ing in an accident.
● The driver should pay extra attenti on to pedestrians. Because there is no
engine noise, the pedestrians may misjudge the vehicle’s movement.
● During normal driving, do not turn off the EV system. Turning the EV sys-
tem 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 diffi-
cult to steer and brake, so you should pull over and stop the vehicle as
soon as it is safe to do so.
However, in the event of an emergency, such as if it becomes impossible
to stop the vehicle in the normal way: P. 329
● Use regenerative braking to maintain a safe speed when driving down a
steep hill.
Using the brakes continuously may cause the brakes to overheat and lose
effectiveness. ( P. 171)
● If “REGENERATIVE BRAKING LIMITED” appears on the multi-informa-
tion display, firmly depress the brake pedal to decelerate the vehicle.
( P. 347)
● Do not adjust the positions of the steering wheel, the seat, or the inside or
outside rear view mirrors while driving.
Doing so may result in a loss of vehicle control.
● Always check that all passengers’ arms, heads or other parts of their body
are not outside the vehicle.

3878-2. Steps to take in an emergency
8
When trouble arises
Start the engine of the second vehicle. Increase the engine speed
slightly and maintain at that level for approximately 5 minutes to
recharge the 12-volt battery of your vehicle.
Open and close any of the doors of your vehicle with the power
switch off.
Maintain the engine speed of the second vehicle and start the EV
system of your vehicle by turning the power switch to ON mode.
Make sure the “READY” indicato r comes on. If the indicator does
not come on, contact your Scion dealer.
Once the EV system has started, remove the jumper cables in the
exact reverse order from which they were connected.
Once the EV system starts, have th e vehicle inspected at your Scion
dealer as soon as possible.
■ Starting the EV system when the 12-volt battery is discharged
The EV system cannot be started by push-starting.
■ To prevent 12-volt battery discharge
●Turn off the headlights and the air conditioning system while the EV system
is off.
● Turn off any unnecessary electrical components when the vehicle is running
at a low speed for an extended period, such as in heavy traffic.
■ Charging the 12-volt battery
The electricity stored in the 12-volt battery will discharge gradually even when
the vehicle is not in use, due to natural discharge and the draining effects of
certain electrical appliances. If the vehicle is left for a long time, the 12-volt
battery may discharge, and the EV system may be unable to start. (The 12-
volt battery recharges automatically while the EV system is operating.)
