NOTICE
Make sure the positive side and

tery are faced correctly.
Do not replace the battery with wet

Do not touch or move any compo-
nents inside the transmitter, or it

Be careful not to bend the electrode
the transmitter battery and that

mitter still does not operate properly, con-
tact your Scion dealer.
If you lose your transmitter, contact your

CAUTION
To avoid serious personal injury, you
must do the following.
Before you close the power win-
dows, always make sure there is
nobody around the power windows.
You must also make sure the
heads, hands and other parts of the
bodies of all occupants are kept
completely inside the vehicle. If
someone’s neck, head or hands get
caught in a closing window, it
could result in a serious injury.
When anyone closes the power win-
dows, make sure he or she oper-
ates the windows safely.
When small children are in the ve-
hicle, never let them use the power
window switches without supervi-
sion. Use the window lock switch to
prevent them from making unex-
pected use of the switches.
Be sure to remove the ignition key
when you leave your vehicle.
Never leave anyone (particularly a
small child) alone in your vehicle,
especially with the ignition key still
inserted. Otherwise, he or she
could use the power window
switches and get trapped in a win-
dow opening. Unattended person
(particularly a small child) can be
involved in a serious accident.
Back door
12B016
To open the back door, push the back
door opener and raise the back door.
The back door is locked and unlocked
simultaneously with all the side doors (see
“Side doors” on page 8).
If the battery is disconnected or run down,
the back door will be automatically locked
after you reconnect, replace or recharge
the battery.
If the back door opener does not operate,
see “If you cannot operate back door
opener” on page 167.

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.
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.
When you push the rear window defogger
switch, the heater panels in the outside
rear view mirrors will quickly clear the
mirror surface. (See “Rear window and
outside rear view mirror defoggers” on
page 72.)
