tain shield airbag sensors, driver ’s seat
position sensor, driver ’s seat belt buckle
switch, front passenger occupant classifica-
tion system, “AIR BAG ON” indicator light,
“AIR BAG OFF” indicator light, front pas-
senger ’s seat belt buckle switch, seat belt
pretensioner assemblies, inflators, intercon-
necting wiring and power sources. (For de-
tails, see “Service reminder indicators and
warning buzzers” on page 113.) If either of the following conditions occurs,
this indicates a malfunction of the airbags
or seat belt pretensioners. Contact your
Scion dealer as soon as possible.
When the engine switch is turned to
the “ON” position, the light does not
come on or remains on for more than

Tilt steering wheel
To change the steering wheel angle,
hold the steering wheel, push down the
lock release lever, tilt the steering
wheel to the desired angle and return
the lever to its original position.
CAUTION
Do not adjust the steering wheel
while the vehicle is moving. Doing
so may cause the driver to mishan-
dle the vehicle and an accident may
occur resulting in death or serious
injuries.
After adjusting the steering wheel,
try moving it up and down to make
sure it is locked in position.
When you move the steering wheel, an
electrical motor noise may be heard. This
is the power steering motor noise, and is
not a malfunction.
Outside rear view mirrors—
Adjust the mirror so that you can just
see the side of your vehicle in the mir-
ror.
Be careful when judging the size or dis-
tance of any object seen in the outside
rear view mirror on the passenger ’s side
because it is a convex mirror. Any object
seen in a convex mirror will look smaller
and farther away than when seen in a flat
mirror.

If the high engine coolant temperature
warning light flashes, your engine is too
hot. If your vehicle overheats, stop your
vehicle and allow the engine to cool.

operating conditions, such as:
Driving up a long hill on a hot day.
Reducing speed or stopping after high
speed driving.
Idling for a long period with the air
conditioning on in stop −and− go traffic.
NOTICE
Do not remove the thermostat in
the engine cooling system as this
may cause the engine to overheat.
The thermostat is designed to con-
trol the flow of coolant to keep the
temperature of the engine within
the specified operating range.
 Do not continue driving with an
overheated engine. See “If your
vehicle overheats” on page 213.

switch is left on and the driver’s door is
opened with the key removed from the
engine switch. CHECKING SERVICE REMINDER
INDICATORS (except the low fuel level
warning light and low windshield wash-
er fluid level warning light)

Your engine is fitted with iridium–tipped
spark plugs.
NOTICE
Use only iridium–tipped spark plugs.
Do not adjust gaps for engine perfor-
mance or smooth drivability.
The electric power steering system, us-
ing an electric motor, assists the turn-
ing of the steering wheel.
In the following cases, you may feel the
steering becoming heavy. But it is not
a malfunction.
When maneuvering or turning frequently
over a long time
The power steering effect will be re-
duced to prevent the system from over-
heating. Avoid turning the steering
wheel, or stop the vehicle and turn the
engine switch to “ACC” or “LOCK”
position. The system will become cool
in about 10 minutes.
NOTICE
Frequent maneuvering and turning
over a long time may cause damage
to the system in which the mecha-
nism prevents overheating of the elec-
tric power steering system.
When the battery is discharged
Check the battery’s condition. If neces-
sary, recharge or replace the battery.
For details, see “Checking battery con-
dition” on page 270.
INFORMATION
When the steering wheel is turned, a
motor operating sound (whining
sound) may be heard. This occurs
when the power steering motor works
and is not defective.
