CAUTION

■

If a safety system warning light does not come on

Should a safety system light such as ABS and the SRS airbag warning light
not come on when you start the engine, this could mean that these systems
are not available to help protect you in an accident, which could result in
death or serious injury. Have the vehicle inspected by your Scion dealer
immediately if this occurs.

■

Warning lights

Warning lights inform the driver of malfunctions in any of the
vehicle’s systems. (

P. 277)

*

: These lights turn on when the engine switch is turned to the ON

position to indicate that a system check is being performed. They will
turn off after the engine is started, or after a few seconds. There may
be a malfunction in a system if a light does not come on, or if the
lights do not turn off. Have the vehicle inspected by your Scion
dealer.

Turning on the high beam headlights

With the headlights on, push
the lever forward to turn on the
high beams. 

Pull the lever back to the center
position to turn the high beams
off.

Pull the lever toward you to
turn on the high beams. 

Release the lever to turn them off.
You can flash the high beams
with the headlights on or off.

■

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.

■

Headlight control sensor (if equipped)

The sensor may not function properly if
an object is placed on the sensor, or any-
thing that blocks the sensor is affixed to
the windshield.

Doing so interferes with the sensor
detecting the level of ambient light and
may cause the automatic headlight sys-
tem to malfunction.
