■Daytime running light system (if equipped)
● To make your vehicle more visible to other drivers, the headlights turn on
automatically (at a reduced intensity) whenever the engine is started and
the parking brake is released. Daytime running lights are not designed for
use at night.
● Compared to turning on the headlights, the daytime running light system
offers greater durability and consumes less electricity, so it can help
improve fuel economy.
■ Light reminder buzzer
A buzzer sounds when the driver’s door is opened with the key removed
from the engine switch while the lights are turned on.
NOTICE
■To prevent battery discharge
Do not leave the lights on longer than necessary when the engine is not run-
ning.

LED light bulbs
The accessory lights, side turn signal lights and high mounted stoplight con-
sist of a number of LEDs. If any of the LEDs burn out, take your vehicle to
your Scion dealer to have the light replaced.
■ Condensation build-up on th e inside of the lens
Temporary condensation build-up on the inside of the headlight lens does
not indicate a malfunction. Contact your Scion dealer for more information in
the following situations:
● Large drops of water have built up on the inside of the lens.
● Water has built up inside the headlight.
CAUTION
■Replacing light bulbs
● Turn off the lights. Do not attempt to replace the bulb immediately after
turning off the lights.
The bulbs become very hot and may cause burns.
● Do not touch the glass portion of the light bulb with bare hands. Hold the
bulb by the plastic or metal portion.
If the bulb is scratched or dropped, it may blow out or crack.
● Fully install light bulbs and any parts used to secure them. Failing to do so
may result in heat damage, fire, or water entering the headlight unit. This
may damage the headlights or cause condensation to build up on the lens.
■ To prevent damage or fire
Make sure bulbs are fully seated and locked.

Starting the engine when the battery is discharged
Vehicles with an automatic transmission, the engine cannot be started by
push-starting.
■ To prevent battery discharge
● Turn off the headlights and the air conditioning system while the engine is
turned off.
● Turn off any unnecessary electrical components when the vehicle is run-
ning at a low speed for an extended period, such as in heavy traffic.
■ Charging the battery
The electricity stored in the battery will discharge gradually even when the
vehicle is not in use, due to natural discharge and the draining effects of cer-
tain electrical appliances. If the vehicle is left for a long time, the battery may
discharge, and the engine may be unable to start. (The battery recharges
automatically during driving.)
Maintain the engine speed of the second vehicle and start
the engine of your vehicle by turning the engine switch to
the “ON” position.
Once the vehicle’s engine has started, remove the jumper
cables in the exact reverse or der from which they were con-
nected.
Once the engine starts, have the vehicle inspected at your Scion
dealer as soon as possible.STEP 3
