REPLACING TIRES AND WHEELS
When replacing the tires and wheels, be
sure to install tire pressure warning valves
and transmitters. ID codes on the tire
pressure warning valves and transmitters
are registered in the tire pressure warning
computer. When replacing a tire pressure
warning valve and transmitter, it is neces-
sary to register the ID code of tire pres-
sure warning valve and transmitter. Have
the ID code registered by your Scion deal-
er.
If the ID code is not registered, the sys-
tem will not work properly. After about 20
minutes, the tire pressure warning light
comes on after blinking for 1 minute to
indicate a system malfunction.
NOTICE
When the tires or tire pressure warn-
ing valves and transmitters must be
replaced, have them replaced by your
Scion dealer. The tire pressure warn-
ing valves and transmitters will be
affected by the installation or removal
of tires.

When initializing the system, the present
tire inflation pressure is stored as stan-
dard. The tire pressure warning system
determines decreased air pressure by
comparing the present and the standard
tire inflation pressures. When you change
the set tire inflation pressure, it is neces-
sary to initialize the tire pressure warning
system.
When rotating the tires on vehicles dif-
fering with front and rear tire inflation
pressures.To initialize the system, perform the fol-
lowing:
1. Park the vehicle in a safe place and turn the ignition key to the “ACC” or
“LOCK” position.
2. Adjust the pressure of all the installed tires to the specified cold tire inflation
pressure level. (See “Tires” on page
261.)
3. Turn the ignition key to the “ON” posi- tion.
4. Open the glove box, and push and hold the tire pressure warning reset
switch until the tire pressure warning
light blinks slowly three times.
5. Wait for a few minutes with the ignition key in “ON” position, and then turn the
ignition key to the “ACC” or “LOCK”
position.
If you push the tire pressure reset switch
while the vehicle is moving, initialization is
not performed.
If you push the tire pressure reset switch
accidentally and initialization is performed,
adjust the tire inflation pressure to the
specified level and initialize the system
again.

17T013
If the tire pressure warning light does not
blink slowly three times when you push
and hold the reset switch, initialization has
failed and the tire pressure warning sys-
tem may not work properly. In this case,
initialize the system again. If initialization
cannot be performed, have the system
checked at your Scion dealer.
CAUTION
Do not push the reset switch without
first adjusting the tire inflation pres-
sure to the specified level. Other-
wise, the tire pressure warning light
may not come on even if the tire
inflation pressure is low, or it may
come on when the tire inflation pres-
sure is actually normal.
Parking brake
When parking, firmly apply the parking
brake to avoid inadvertent creeping.
To set: Pull up the lever. For better hold-
ing power, first depress the brake pedal
and hold it while setting the parking
brake.
To release: Pull up the lever slightly (1),
press the lock release button (2), and low-
er (3).
To remind you that the parking brake is
set, the parking brake reminder light in
the instrument panel remains on until you
release the parking brake.

126
CAUTION
Before driving, be sure the parking
brake is fully released and the park-
ing brake reminder light is off.
The cruise control is designed to main-
tain a set cruising speed without requir-
ing the driver to operate the accelera-
tor. Cruising speed can be set to any
speed above 40 km/h (25 mph).
Within the limits of the engine’s capabili-
ties, cruising speed can be maintained up
or down grades. However, changes in ve-
hicle speed may occur on steeper grades.
CAUTION
To help maintain maximum control
of your vehicle, do not use the
cruise control when driving in
heavy or varying traffic, or on slip-
pery (rainy, icy or snow
–covered) or
winding roads.
Avoid vehicle speed increases when
driving downhill. If the vehicle
speed is too fast in relation to the
cruise control set speed, cancel the
cruise control then downshift the
transmission to use engine braking
to slow down.

TURNING THE SYSTEM ON AND OFF
To turn the cruise control on, press the
“ON −OFF” button. The “CRUISE” indicator
light on the instrument cluster will come
on to indicate that the cruise control is
operational. Pressing the “ON −OFF” button
again turns the system off.
When the system is turned off, cruising
speed must be reset when the cruise con-
trol is turned on again.
Cruise control (on some
models)

128
Under certain circumstances, the cruise
control is temporarily cancelled when the
vehicle speed falls below 40 km/h (25
mph).
When vehicle speed drops 16 km/h (10
mph) below the set speed, the cruise con-
trol is cancelled and the set speed is
erased from memory.
The “CRUISE” indicator light remains on
to indicate that the system is still in op-
eration.
To turn the cruise control off, press the
“ON−OFF” button. Make sure the
“CRUISE” indicator light is off.
If the cruise control automatically cancels
out other than for the above cases, have
your vehicle checked by your Scion dealer
at the earliest opportunity.
RESUMING THE CRUISE CONTROL
If the cruise control is temporarily can-
celled, the cruising speed can be resumed
by pushing the lever up in the “+ RES”
direction.
Vehicle speed must be above 40 km/h (25
mph). RESETTING TO A FASTER SPEED
Push the lever up in the “+ RES” direction
and hold it. Release the lever when the
desired speed is attained. While the lever
is held up, the vehicle will gradually gain
speed.
When the difference between the actual
vehicle speed and the set speed is less
than 5 km/h (3 mph), the set speed can
be increased 1.6 km/h (1 mph) each time
by pressing the control lever upward in
the “+ RES” direction quickly within 0.6
seconds.
However, a faster way to reset is to ac-
celerate the vehicle and then push the
control lever down in the “– SET” direc-
tion.
RESETTING TO A SLOWER SPEED
Push the lever down in the “– SET” direc-
tion and hold it. Release the lever when
the desired speed is attained. While the
lever is held down, the vehicle speed will
gradually decrease.
When the difference between the actual
vehicle speed and the set speed is less
than 5 km/h (3 mph), the set speed can
be lowered 1.6 km/h (1 mph) each time
by pressing the control lever downward in
the “– SET” direction quickly within 0.6
seconds.However, a faster way to reset is to de-
press the brake pedal and then push the
control lever down in the “– SET” direc-
tion.
On vehicles with automatic transmission,
even if you downshift the transmission
from the “D” position to “3” with the cruise
control on, engine braking will not be ap-
plied because the cruise control is not
cancelled. To decrease the vehicle speed,
reset to a slower speed with the cruise
control lever or depress the brake pedal.
If you use the brake pedal, cruise control
is cancelled.
CRUISE CONTROL FAILURE WARNING
If the “CRUISE” indicator light flashes
when using the cruise control, press the
“ON
−OFF” button to turn the system off
and then press it again to turn it on.
If any of the following conditions then oc-
curs, there is some trouble in the cruise
control system.
The indicator light does not come on.
The indicator light flashes again.
The indicator light goes out after it
comes on.
If this is the case, contact your Scion
dealer and have your vehicle inspected.

Clock
The digital clock indicates the time with
the ignition off. To reset the time, the
ignition key must be in the “ON” position.
To reset the hour: Push the “H” button.
To reset the minutes: Push the “M” button.
If the electrical power source has been
disconnected from the clock, the time dis-
play will automatically be set to 1:00.
When the key is in the “ON” position,
push the “OUTSIDE TEMP” button to
change the display from clock to outside
temperature display. (See “Outside temper-
ature display” in this page.)
19T002
The key must be in the “ON” position.
To change the display from clock to out-
side temperature display, push the “OUT-
SIDE TEMP” button. The display changes
between clock and outside temperature
display alternately each time you push the
switch. (See “Clock” in this page.)
The displayed temperature ranges from
–30C (–22 F) up to 50 C (122 F).
When you return the key to the “ACC”
position, the display returns to clock
mode.
If there is a problem with the connection
to the outside air temperature sensor,
“– –” will appear on the display. Contact
your Scion dealer.

Steering switches are installed on the left
side of the steering wheel.
You can use these switches to operate
the audio volume control, radio, CD player
and so on.
For more detailed information, see the
separate “SCION Audio System Owner ’s
Manual” or “SCION Navigation System
Owner ’s Manual”.
CAUTION
Operate the switches with due care
while you are driving to avoid acci-
dents.
