g

In the following cases, system initialization must be performed so that
the system operates normally.
● A tire pressure is adjusted.
● Tire rotation is performed.
● A tire or wheel is replaced.
● The battery is replaced or completely drained.
● The tire pressure monitoring system warning light is illuminated.

■

Initialization method

Park the car in a safe place and firmly apply the parking brake.

Let the tires cool, then adjust the tire pressure of all four (4) tires
to the specified pressure indicated on the tire pressure label
located on the door jamb of the driver’s door (door open).
Refer to Tires on P. 570.

Switch the ignition ON.

While the vehicle is parked,
press and hold the tire pres-
sure monitoring system set
switch and verify that the tire
pressure monitoring system
warning light in the combina-
tion meter flashes twice and
a beep sound is heard once.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System Initialization

NOTICE

If the system initialization is performed without adjusting the tire pres-
sure, the system cannot detect the normal tire pressure and it may not
illuminate the tire pressure monitoring system warning light even if a tire
pressure is low, or it may illuminate the light even if the pressures are
normal.

Adjust the tire pressure on all four tires and initialize the system when
the warning light is turned on. If the warning light turns on for a reason
other than a flat tire, the tire pressure of all four tires may have
decreased naturally.

The system initialization will not be performed if the switch is pressed
while the vehicle is being driven.

Guide lines which indicate the width of the vehicle (yellow) are dis-
played on the screen as a reference to the approximate width of the
vehicle in comparison to the width of the parking space you are about
to back into.

Use this display view for parking your vehicle in a parking space or
garage.

Vehicle width guide lines (yel-
low)

These guide lines serve as a
reference to the approximate
width of the vehicle.

Distance guide lines

These guide lines indicate the
approximate distance to a point
measured from the vehicle’s
rear (from the end of the
bumper).

The red and yellow lines indicate the points about 19 in. (500 mm)
for the red line and 39.3 in. (1000 mm) for the yellow lines from the
rear bumper (at the center point of each of the lines).

WARNING

The guide lines on the screen are fixed lines. They are not synced to the
driver’s turning of the steering wheel. Always be careful and check the area
to the vehicle’s rear and the surrounding area directly with your eyes while
backing up.

The operation of the rear view monitor when reversing the vehicle var-
ies depending on the traffic, road, and vehicle conditions. The amount
of steering and the timing also varies depending on conditions, so
confirm the surrounding conditions directly with your eyes and steer
the vehicle in accordance with the conditions.

Be well aware of the above cautions prior to using the rear view moni-
tor.

Shift the shift lever to R to switch the display to the rear view moni-
tor display.

Confirming the surrounding conditions, reverse the vehicle.

After your vehicle begins entering the parking space, continue
backing up slowly so that the distance between the vehicle width
lines and the sides of the parking space on the left and right are
roughly equal.

Continue to adjust the steering wheel until the vehicle width guide
lines are parallel to the left and right sides of the parking space.

Once they are parallel, straighten the wheels and back your vehicle
slowly into the parking space. Continue checking the vehicle’s sur-
roundings and then stop the vehicle in the best possible position. (If
the parking space has division lines, check whether the vehicle
width guide lines are parallel to them.)

When the shift lever is shifted from R to another shift lever position,
the screen returns to the previous display.

●

Images displayed on the monitor from the rear view parking camera are
reversed images (mirror images).

●

Because there may be a difference between the displayed image, such as
indicated below, and the actual conditions when parking, always verify the
safety at the rear of the vehicle and the surrounding area directly with your
eyes.

• In the image of the parking space (or garage) displayed below, even

though the back end and distance guide lines appear parallel in the mon-
itor, they may not actually be parallel on the ground.

Some variance occurs between the actual road and the displayed

road. Such variance in distance perspective could lead to an accident.

Note the following conditions that may cause a variance in distance

perspective.

■

When the vehicle is tilted due to the weight of passengers and

load
When the vehicle rear is lowered, the object displayed on the

screen appears farther than the actual distance.

• When parking in a space with a divi-

sion line on only one side of the park-

ing space, the division line and the

vehicle width guide line may appear

parallel on the monitor, but they may

not actually be parallel on the ground.

4-1. Climate Control System

Operating Tips

● Operate the climate control system with the engine running.
● To prevent the battery from being discharged, do not leave the fan

control dial on for a long period of time with the ignition switched
ON when the engine is not running.

● Clear all obstructions such as leaves, snow and ice from the hood

and the air inlet in the cowl grille to improve the system efficiency.

● Use the climate control system to defog the windows and dehumid-

ify the air.

● The recirculate mode should be used when driving through tunnels

or while in a traffic jam, or when you would like to shut off outside
air for quick cooling of the interior.

● Use the outside air position for ventilation or windshield defrosting.
● If the vehicle has been parked in direct sunlight during hot weather,

open the windows to let warm air escape, then run the climate con-
trol system.

● Run the air conditioner about 10 minutes at least once a month to

keep internal parts lubricated.

● Have the air conditioner

checked before the weather
gets hot. Lack of refrigerant
may make the air conditioner
less efficient.
The refrigerant specifications
are indicated on a label
attached to the inside of the
engine compartment. Check
the label before refilling the
refrigerant. If the wrong type of
refrigerant is used, it could
result in a serious malfunction
of the air conditioner.
For details, consult your Scion
dealer.
