Toyota Scion FR S Workshop Manuals and Repair Manuals

Park the vehicle on a flat, stable surface and engage the parking brake. Locate the spare tire, jack, and lug wrench in the trunk. Loosen the lug nuts slightly with the wrench, position the jack under the vehicle's designated lifting point, and raise the vehicle until the flat tire is off the ground. Remove the lug nuts, replace the flat tire with the spare tire, tighten the lug nuts securely, and lower the vehicle.

Park the vehicle on a level surface and wait for the engine to cool down. Open the hood and locate the engine oil dipstick. Pull out the dipstick, wipe it clean, reinsert it fully, and pull it out again. The oil level should be between the min and max marks on the dipstick. If the oil level is low, add the recommended oil gradually and recheck the level until it reaches the appropriate range.

Park another vehicle with a charged battery close to your Toyota Scion FR S. Connect one end of the jumper cables to the positive terminal of the dead battery and the other end to the positive terminal of the charged battery. Attach one end of the second jumper cable to the negative terminal of the charged battery and the other end to an unpainted metal surface on your vehicle, away from the battery. Start the engine of the vehicle with the charged battery, let it run for a few minutes, then start your Toyota Scion FR S.

To reset the maintenance light on your Toyota Scion FR S, turn the key to the "On" position without starting the engine. Within five seconds, press and hold the trip reset button until the maintenance light begins flashing. Release the button and start the engine. The maintenance light should now be reset.

The oil in your Toyota Scion FR S should be changed every 5,000 to 7,500 miles, or every six months, whichever comes first. Regular oil changes are essential to maintain the engine's performance and longevity. Neglecting to change the oil on time can lead to increased wear and tear on the engine components and potentially cause engine damage.

The air filter in your Toyota Scion FR S should be replaced every 15,000 to 30,000 miles, depending on driving conditions. A clogged or dirty air filter restricts airflow to the engine, reducing fuel efficiency and potentially causing engine performance issues. Regularly inspecting and replacing the air filter ensures proper air intake and protects the engine from contaminants.

The cabin air filter in your Toyota Scion FR S should be replaced every 15,000 to 30,000 miles or as recommended by the manufacturer. A clean cabin air filter ensures clean air circulation inside the vehicle and prevents dust, pollen, and other contaminants from entering the cabin. Regularly replacing the cabin air filter promotes a healthier and more comfortable driving environment.

The fuel filter in your Toyota Scion FR S does not require regular maintenance or replacement unless there is a specific issue with fuel delivery or contamination. However, it is recommended to periodically inspect the fuel filter for any signs of clogging or damage. If any issues are detected, the fuel filter should be replaced by a qualified technician.

The spark plugs in your Toyota Scion FR S should be replaced every 60,000 miles or as recommended by the manufacturer. Spark plugs play a vital role in the combustion process, igniting the air-fuel mixture in the engine cylinders. Worn or faulty spark plugs can cause misfires, reduced fuel efficiency, and engine performance issues. Regularly inspecting and replacing the spark plugs ensures proper engine operation.

Tire rotation on the Toyota Scion FR S should be performed every 5,000 to 7,500 miles or as recommended by the manufacturer. Regular tire rotation promotes even tire wear, extends tire life, and ensures consistent handling and traction. Neglecting tire rotation can result in uneven tread wear, compromising safety and performance.

The recommended tire pressure for the Toyota Scion FR S is typically listed on a sticker located on the driver's side door jamb or in the owner's manual. It is important to maintain the correct tire pressure to ensure optimal handling, tire wear, and fuel efficiency. Regularly check and adjust the tire pressure according to the vehicle's specifications.

For the Toyota Scion FR S, it is recommended to use DOT 3 or DOT 4 brake fluid. Both types provide suitable performance and meet the necessary specifications for the vehicle's braking system. Brake fluid should be replaced every two years or as recommended by the manufacturer to maintain optimal brake performance and prevent brake system failure.

It is recommended to use Toyota Super Long Life Coolant or an equivalent high-quality ethylene glycol-based coolant for your Toyota Scion FR S. This type of coolant provides superior protection against freezing, boiling, and corrosion, ensuring optimal performance and longevity of the engine's cooling system. Using the correct coolant and maintaining the proper coolant level is crucial to prevent overheating and engine damage.

The Toyota Scion FR S is equipped with a manual transmission, which requires the use of genuine Toyota Manual Transmission Fluid or an equivalent API GL-4 or GL-5 fluid. Using the correct transmission fluid and following the recommended fluid change intervals is crucial to maintain smooth gear shifting and prolong the transmission's lifespan. Regularly checking the transmission fluid level is also important for optimal performance.
