The MIL (Malfunction Indicator Lamp), also referred to as the check engine light, illuminates in three general cases:

1. The fuel tank is empty
2. The fuel cap is loose, or not properly secured
3. There is a concern within the engine, or automatic transmission electrical system or braking system.

If the MIL comes on while driving in case "c", it is recommended to have your vehicle diagnosed and, if necessary, repaired as soon as possible by your local Scion/Toyota dealership. A full evaluation of the vehicle by a qualified technician will be necessary to clearly determine the reason why the MIL is illuminated.

No, you don't need a coupon to receive your complimentary oil change/maintenance. Your complimentary oil changes/maintenances will be tracked in Scion's national database using your vehicle identification number.

To obtain your complimentary oil change/maintenances, call a Scion or Toyota dealership to make an appointment. The dealership will check Scion's national database to verify your vehicle's eligibility.

Since coolant is poisonous if swallowed, we dye coolant so that it cannot be mistaken for water. Otherwise, there is no special significance to the color choice. Aftermarket coolants can typically be found in yellow-green, blue or orange. (Toyota Super Long Life coolant requires first replacement at 100,000 miles.)

Scion, through its diligent research, design and use of the most advanced technology available, helps prevent corrosion and provides you with the finest quality vehicle construction. Proper care of your Scion can help ensure long-term corrosion prevention.

The most common causes of corrosion to your vehicle are:

The accumulation of road salt, dirt and moisture in hard-to-reach areas under the vehicle.

Chipping of paint or undercoating caused by minor accidents or by stones and gravel.

Care is especially important if you live in particular areas or operate your vehicle under certain environmental conditions:

Road salt or dust control chemicals will accelerate corrosion, as will the presence of salt in the air near the seacoast or in areas of industrial pollution.

High humidity accelerates corrosion especially when temperatures range just above freezing point.

Wetness or dampness to certain parts of your vehicle for an extended period of time may cause corrosion even though other parts of the vehicle may be dry.

High temperatures will cause corrosion to those components of the vehicle which does not dry quickly due to lack of proper ventilation.

The above signifies the necessity to keep your vehicle, particularly the underside, as clean as possible and to repair any damage to paint or protective coatings as soon as possible. To help prevent corrosion on your Scion, follow these guidelines:

Wash your vehicle frequently. It is, of course, necessary to keep your vehicle clean by regular washing, but to prevent corrosion, the following points should be observed:

If you drive on salted roads in the winter or if you live near the ocean, you should hose off the undercarriage at least once a month to minimize corrosion.

High pressure water or steam is effective for cleaning the vehicle's underside and wheel housings. Pay particular attention to these areas as it is difficult to see all the mud and dirt. It will do more harm than good to simply wet the mud and debris without removing. The lower edge of doors, rocker panels and frame members have drain holes, which should not be allowed to clog with dirt as trapped water in these areas can cause corrosion.

Wash the underside of the vehicle thoroughly when winter is over.

See "Washing and waxing your Scion" in the index section of your Owner's Manual for more tips.

Check the condition of your vehicle's paint and trim. If you find any chips or scratches in the paint, touch them up immediately to prevent corrosion from starting. If the chips or scratches have gone through the bare metal, have a qualified body shop make the repair.

Check the interior of your vehicle. Water and dirt can accumulate under the floor mats and could cause corrosion. Occasionally check under the mats to make sure the area is dry. Be particularly careful when transporting chemicals, cleansers, fertilizers, salt, etc.; these should be transported in proper containers. If a spill or leak should occur, immediately clean and dry the area.

Use mud shields on your wheels. If you drive on salted or gravel roads, mud shields help protect your vehicle. Full-size shields, which come as near to the ground as possible, are the best. We recommend that the fittings and the area where the shields are installed be treated to resist corrosion. Your Scion dealer will be happy to assist in supplying and installing the shields if they are recommended for you area.

Keep your vehicle in a well ventilated garage or a roofed place. Do not park your vehicle in a damp, poorly ventilated garage. If you wash your vehicle in the garage, or if you drive it covered with water or snow, your garage may be so damp as to cause corrosion. Even if your garage is heated, a wet vehicle can corrode if the ventilation is poor.

Our vehicles are designed to be driven routinely and not be stored for a long period of time. If due to an unexpected situation and the vehicle has to be left unused for a while, our recommendations for storing the vehicle with less negative impact to the systems on board are listed below:

INSTRUCTIONS:

Before storing the vehicle:

• Have the engine oil changed
• Have the engine coolant changed if due during time of storage
• Fill up the fuel tank with the appropriate gasoline for your vehicle
• Wash the vehicle; use high-pressure water or steam to clean underneath
• Check underneath the floor mats to ensure the carpet is dry
• If there are any paint chips, have them repaired

When storing the vehicle:

• Drive vehicle above 35-40 mph for over 20-25 minutes prior to shutting off the engine. Disconnect the black negative (-) battery cable
• Leave the parking brake off
• Raise the vehicle on a level surface and place on jack stands or blocks to prevent flat spots on the tires
• If stored in a temperate, ventilated garage, the windows can be left slightly open
• Cover the vehicle
• Operate the air conditioning once a month to ensure proper lubrication

When bringing the vehicle out of storage:

• Have the battery charged and reconnect the black negative (-) battery cable
• Check fluid levels and add as needed
• Check for any leaks underneath the vehicle
• Check and inflate the tires to the correct pressure before taking the vehicle off the jack stands or blocks
• After starting the engine, observe the warning lights; if any remain illuminated, have the issue addressed by your Scion dealership as appropriate
• Check the brake pedal for normal feel (height and firmness) before shifting the transmission
• Take the vehicle to your Scion dealership for general inspection

To determine your vehicle's normal operating temperature, please refer to the section of your Owner's Manual that describes the engine coolant temperature gauge.

Note: If you are planning to store your vehicle for more than 6 months, please consult a company that specializes in long-term vehicle storage.

*There are many variations in the step-by-step procedures used when checking fluids or charging batteries, and varying skill levels of individuals. These instructions cannot anticipate all circumstances or provide advice and caution on each. If you are in doubt concerning your ability or have any questions, consult your local Scion dealership and have the work performed by an experienced technician.

The indicator will initially blink after 4,500 miles. The light will stay on after 5,000 miles. The maintenance indicator signals that it has been more than 5k miles since the combination meter has been reset, the indicator will blink for 12 seconds after ignition is turned ON. The FR-S does not feature a maintenance light on the instrument panel.

If you decide to use synthetic oil for the engine, it is best not to switch until the first scheduled oil change and to also contact the oil manufacturer for advice. Synthetic oil should meet or exceed the specifications provided in your Owner's Manual. Even if synthetic oil is used, we DO NOT recommend a longer oil change interval. If you wish to choose to switch back and forth, please contact the manufacturer of the synthetic oil you have been using to see whether or not this is recommended. Please make sure you use the same weight and viscosity specifications as seen in your Owner's Manual in order to keep your warranty intact.

ABS (Anti-lock Brake System) is a sophisticated computer-controlled system that modulates brake pressure during hard braking to help avoid wheel lock-up and maintain steering control. When the wheels are beginning to lock, the computer causes the brakes to pulse more rapidly than is humanly possible. This allows the wheels to rotate rather than skid, helping to provide better stopping and steering control. When the ABS is engaged, it is not uncommon for the driver to detect a slight pulsation through the brake pedal.

We understand that getting the optimal gas mileage from your vehicle is an important aspect of vehicle ownership. We have identified some helpful tips to help you achieve this goal.

Please refer below for helpful tips:

Keep your tires inflated at the correct pressure
Do not carry unneeded weight in your vehicle
Avoid lengthy warm-up idling
Accelerate gently and smoothly
Avoid long engine idling
Avoid engine lugging or over-revving
Avoid rapid stops and starts
Avoid heavy traffic or traffic jams whenever possible
Do not rest your foot on the clutch or brake pedal
Maintain a moderate speed on highways
Keep the front wheels in proper alignment
Keep the bottom of your vehicle free from mud, etc.

Keep your vehicle tuned-up and well maintained

For details concerning the tips mentioned above please reference fuel economy in the index of your Owner's Manual for the appropriate page numbers.

If the factory seat belt is too short for the driver or passenger to fit, a seat belt extender may be available at cost to the person who needs it.

The extender is available in 6-inch, 9-inch, 12-inch, 15-inch and 18-inch lengths.

The extender is available only in black.

You must visit a Scion dealership to have the required measurements made and to complete a Seat Belt Extender Worksheet. The Worksheet will allow proper fitting and selection of a Seat Belt Extender.

The dealer will take measurements while you are seated in the vehicle and then order the seat belt extender from Scion at no charge. Extenders are available to people who need extra length only; they cannot be provided as child seat accessories or for the disabled. Also, the seatbelt extender would be for your use and in your Scion vehicle only. The extender must not be shared with other persons or used in another vehicle; serious injuries can occur if these seatbelt extenders are misused. This is because the fit and positioning of the seatbelt is critical to ensure proper restraint performance in the event of an accident.

SSP is a modified DSP (Digital Signal Processing) system that provides a customized sound for your vehicle.

Scion Sound Processing, or SSP, gives you three ways to listen. 'Natural' plays the music in the background—perfect when you're having a conversation. 'Hear' delivers the full sound of the music. 'Feel' strengthens and richens the deep bass and midrange sounds so you can practically feel the music. Scion Sound Processing (SSP) can be set to the individual acoustic characteristics of FR-S, iQ, tC, xB, and xD. To do this, you press and hold the SSP button until it displays the vehicle settings in the following order: SSP Car Type xD > SSP Car Type xB > SSP Car Type tC > SSP Car Type iQ > SSP Car Type FR-S.

There's an additional 'flat' setting for owners who have added external amps to the system. This will read 'SSP Car Type Flat.' Press and hold the SSP button, then push the multicontrol dial to choose your setting. You cannot select Neutral, Hear or Feel when 'Flat' is selected for the vehicle type during the initial setting.

Benefits

• Scion Sound Processing (SSP) gives a Scion driver three distinctly different ways to listen.
• It can also be tuned to the individual acoustic characteristics of FR-S, iQ, tC, xB, and xD.
• A 'flat' setting is available for owners who have added external amplifiers to their audio system.

All Scions are equipped with a timing chain.
