5-2. Steps to take in an emergency
If your vehicle overheats
In the following cases, the vehicle may be overheating.
●High engine coolant temperature warning light ( P. 274) flashes
or comes on, and engine output falls (There is no speed).
● Steam is coming out from the engine compartment.
Perform the following steps.
Stop the vehicle in a safe place, turn off the air conditioning
system, and stop the engine.
If steam is coming out:
When no more steam is coming out has been confirmed,
carefully open the hood.
If there is no steam coming out:
Carefully open the hood. After the engine has cooled
down sufficiently, inspect the
radiator core (radiator), hoses,
etc. for any leaks.
If there is a large quantity of
engine coolant leaking, imme-
diately contact your Scion
dealer.
Inspect the amount of engine
coolant by checking if the res-
ervoir level is between FULL
and LOW lines.

■
If your engine knocks
●You may occasionally notice light knocking for a short time while acceler-
ating or driving uphill. This is normal and there is no need for concern.
● Consult your Scion dealer.
NOTICE
■Notice on fuel quality
●Do not use improper fuels. If improper fuels are used the engine will be
damaged.
● Do not use leaded gasoline.
Leaded gasoline can cause damage to your vehicle’s three-way catalytic
converters causing the emission control system to malfunction.
● Do not use gasohol other than the type previously stated.
Other gasohol may cause fuel system damage or vehicle performance
problems.
● Using unleaded gasoline with an octane number or rating lower than the
level previously stated will cause persistent heavy knocking.
At worst, this will lead to engine damage.
■ Fuel-related poor driveability
If poor driveability is encountered after using a different type of fuel (poor hot
starting, vaporization, engine knocking, etc.), discontinue the use of that type
of fuel.
■ When refueling with gasohol
Take care not to spill gasohol. Otherwise, it can damage your vehicle’s paint.
