The SRS airbag and seat belt pretensioner devices in your Scion contain
explosive chemicals. If the vehicle is scrapped with the airbags and seat belt
pretensioners left as they are, this may cause an accident such as fire. Be
sure to have the systems of the SRS airbag and seat belt pretensioner
removed and disposed of by a qualified service shop or by your Scion dealer
before you scrap your vehicle.
Special handling may apply,
See www.dtsc.ca.gov/hazardouswaste/perchlorate.
Your vehicle has components that may contain perchlorate. These compo-
nents may include airbag, seat belt pretensioners, and wireless remote con-
trol batteries.

CAUTION
■General precautions while driving
Driving under the influence: Never drive your vehicle when under the influ-
ence of alcohol or drugs that have impaired your ability to operate your vehi-
cle. Alcohol and certain drugs delay reaction time, impair judgment and
reduce coordination, which could lead to an accident that could result in
death or serious injury.
Defensive driving: Always drive defensively. Anticipate mistakes that other
drivers or pedestrians might make and be ready to avoid accidents.
Driver distraction: Always give your full attention to driving. Anything that
distracts the driver, such as adjusting controls, talking on a cellular phone or
reading can result in a collision with resulting death or serious injury to you,
your occupants or others.
■ General precaution regard ing children’s safety
Never leave children unattended in the vehicle, and never allow children to
have or use the key.
Children may be able to start the vehicle or shift the vehicle into neutral.
There is also a danger that children may injure themselves by playing with
the cigarette lighter, the windows, or other features of the vehicle. In addi-
tion, heat build-up or extremely cold temperatures inside the vehicle can be
fatal to children.

EV (Electric Vehicle) system precautions
The illustration is an example for explanation purposes only and may
vary from the actual vehicle.
Be careful of the high voltage components (about 300 V at maxi-
mum), such as the traction battery, power control unit, orange
colored high voltage cables, and electric motor, as well as high
temperature components such as the cooling radiator, which are
provided on the electric vehicle. For the high voltage compo-
nents, caution labels are provided on them. Read them when
they need to be handled.

■Traction battery (Lithium-ion battery)
The traction battery has a limited service life.
The traction battery capacity (the ability to store energy) reduces with time
and use in the same way as other rechargeable batteries. The extent at which
capacity reduces changes drastically depending on the environment (outside
temperature, etc.) and usage conditions, such as how the vehicle is driven
and how the traction battery is charged.
This is a natural characteristic of lithium-ion batteries, and is not a malfunc-
tion. Also, even though the EV driving range decreases when the traction bat-
tery capacity reduces, vehicle performance does not significantly become
worse.
In order to reduce the possibility of the capacity reducing, follow the directions
listed on P. 190, “Capacity reduction of the traction battery”.
CAUTION
■High voltage precautions
The vehicle has high voltage DC and AC systems as well as a 12-volt sys-
tem.
DC and AC high voltage systems are very dangerous and can cause severe
burns and electric shock that may result in death or serious injury.
● Never touch, disassemble, remove, or replace the high voltage parts,
cables (orange) or their connectors.
● The EV system will become hot after starting as the system uses high volt-
age. Be careful of both the high voltage and the high temperature, and
always obey the caution labels attached to the vehicle.
●Never try to open the service plug
access hole located under the driver
seat. The service plug is used only
when the vehicle is serviced and is sub-
ject to high voltage.

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.

Driving
Winter driving tips
●Use fluids that are appropriate to the prevailing outside tempera-
tures.
• Inverter coolant
• Washer fluid
● Have a service technician inspec t the condition of the 12-volt bat-
tery.
● Have the vehicle fitted with four snow tires or purchase a set of tire
chains for the front tires.
Ensure that all tires are the same size and brand, and that chains match
the size of the tires.
Perform the following accordin g to the driving conditions:
● Do not try to forcibly open a window or move a wiper that is frozen.
Pour warm water over the frozen area to melt the ice. Wipe away
the water immediately to prevent it from freezing.
● To ensure proper operation of the climate control system fan,
remove any snow that has accumulated on the air inlet vents in
front of the windshield.
● Check for and remove any excess ice or snow that may have accu-
mulated on the exterior lights, ve hicle’s roof, chassis, around the
tires or on the brakes.
● Remove any snow or mud from the bottom of your shoes before
getting in the vehicle.
Carry out the necessary preparations and inspections before
driving the vehicle in winter. Always drive the vehicle in a man-
ner appropriate to the prevailing weather conditions.

Maintenance and care
■Repair and replacement
It is recommended that genuine Scion parts be used for repairs 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.
■ Allow inspection and repairs to be performed by a Scion dealer
● Scion technicians are well-trained specialists and are kept up to date with
the latest service information. They are well informed about the operations
of all systems on your vehicle.
● Keep a copy of the repair order. It proves that the maintenance that has
been performed is under warranty cove rage. If any problem should arise
while your vehicle is under warranty, your Scion dealer will promptly take
care of it.
CAUTION
■ If your vehicle is not properly maintained
Improper maintenance could result in serious damage to the vehicle and
possible death or serious injury.
■ Handling of the 12-volt battery
● Fluids contained in vehicles as well as waste produced by component
wear contain or emit chemicals known to the State of California to cause
cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Avoid exposure and
wash any affected area immediately.
● 12-volt battery posts, terminals and related accessories contain lead and
lead compounds which are known to cause brain damage. Wash your
hands after handling. ( P. 281)
